> You wouldn't ask an agent to review a PR then just copy/paste the output int PR would you?

Hasn't everyone already got agents directly adding themselves to PRs and leaving comments (occasionally useful)?

They shouldn't.

I personally would never dump a claude code response into a PR body an ask someone to address it. I can't believe any developer would find this to be appropriate or fulfilling the duty of reviewing code.

I think it's pretty clear that what you should do instead is go over the result and communicate to the PR author anything you think should be addressed. You don't just say "here are 8 things you might want to address but I cant actually speak to any of them."

Yes. I sympathize with the “every PR needs human eyes on it” ethos but fundamentally the only thing that scales with AI PR generation is AI PR review.
