Description of Claude Code Review

Claude Code Review is a managed service from Anthropic that reviews GitHub pull requests. Once an Owner enables it for an organization, reviews run when a pull request opens, on every push, or when someone comments a review request. Several agents examine the diff and the surrounding code in parallel on Anthropic infrastructure, a verification step checks each candidate against actual code behavior to filter false positives, and the results are ranked by severity.

Findings appear as inline comments on the affected lines, with a summary in the review body and a check run listing every finding. Each is tagged as Important, Nit or Pre-existing, and they do not approve or block the pull request. Teams can steer the reviewer by adding a CLAUDE.md or REVIEW.md file to the repository. Reviews average about 20 minutes, and users can react to comments to rate them.

The service is in research preview and is available for Team and Enterprise subscriptions. It is not available for organizations with Zero Data Retention enabled or with the HIPAA configuration applied, and it is not covered under Anthropic's business associate agreement. Users on other plans can run a diff review locally with a command. For running in your own CI, Anthropic points to separate GitHub Actions and GitLab CI/CD options, and a self-hosted GitHub Enterprise Server page exists.

Billing is by token usage, separate from plan limits, through usage credits. The documentation says a review averages $15 to $25, scaling with pull request size, codebase complexity and the number of issues that need verification. Choosing a review on every push multiplies cost by the number of pushes, and Owners can set a monthly spend cap.

Can a general AI assistant replace it? A general LLM can review code you paste, but this runs on GitHub automatically with repo context. A local /code-review command offers a lighter option on other plans.
