Claude Code gets read-only subagent for strict code reviews

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A developer has created a read-only subagent for Claude Code, designed to act as a strict code reviewer. This subagent can analyze code changes without the ability to modify them, focusing on identifying bugs, missing tests, and risky modifications. The setup involves defining the reviewer's prompt and tools, such as Read, Grep, and Bash commands for `git diff`, and can be integrated into the development workflow via a `.claude/agents/reviewer.md` configuration file. AI

IMPACT Enhances code review processes by providing a dedicated, non-modifying AI agent for identifying potential issues.

    <p>The agent that wrote the code is a poor judge of it. Claude Code lets you define subagents with their own prompt and their own tool list, so you can keep a reviewer around that can read everything and change nothing.</p> <h2> The file </h2> <p>Save this as <code>.claude/agents…
