Claude Code rebuilds Shopify's AI gates: Tests prove most effective

An engineer rebuilt Shopify's four-gate AI code review process using Anthropic's Claude Code and a Sonnet 5.5 model to test its effectiveness. The experiment involved running 50 configurations on a real code repository, evaluating the impact of different gate combinations on bug detection and cost. The findings suggest that while the gates improve pass rates, the acceptance tests themselves were the most effective component in catching errors. AI
