dev-review-loop

Automated code review cycles are orchestrated by managing a sequence of specialized subagents for development, review, and fixing. This process applies review guidelines to code diffs and iteratively addresses identified issues until the code passes review.

A multi-agent code review loop is a process that spawns specialized agents to handle distinct tasks: one agent writes and commits code, another reviews the generated diff against guidelines, and a third agent fixes identified bugs until quality assurance passes.

You need a Version Control System (VCS) like Git or JJ to run automated review and fixing loops. The system requires VCS detection to perform the commit and diff operations necessary for generating iterative code improvements.

Frivolous findings during an automated code review can be rejected by the iterative fixing agent. The process allows the system to automatically address valid bugs while discarding frivolous findings, ensuring the loop progresses efficiently until code passes review.

You can use this automated review loop to build new features by spawning a developer agent to implement the code, committing it, and having a fixer agent address review findings. This accelerates feedback loops and reduces manual oversight.

A limitation of automating iterative code improvement is its strict dependency on detecting a compatible Version Control System like Git or JJ. Without proper VCS integration, the system cannot perform the required commit and diff operations to manage code changes.
