Introduction
Code review is a critical quality assurance process, but it’s time-consuming and prone to oversights. With an AI review workflow designed in Claude Code Workflow Studio, you can conduct consistent, high-quality reviews efficiently.
Challenges
Typical review challenges development teams face:
- Review Delays: Hard to secure reviewer time, delaying merges
- Quality Variance: Check items and strictness vary by reviewer
- Missed Checks: Overlooking security and performance issues
- Knowledge Gaps: No reviewers expert in specific domains
Solution: Visual Review Workflow
Design review flow in Claude Code Workflow Studio to achieve:
- Consistency: Review from same perspectives every time
- Speed: AI provides immediate feedback
- Comprehensiveness: Covers security, performance, and quality
- Flexibility: Selectable review levels and targets

Step 5: Quality Reviewer
Node Configuration
Node Type: Sub-Agent
Settings:
- Name:
Quality Reviewer - Prompt:
Review code from a quality perspective:
## Check Items
### 1. Readability

- Educational: Explain why improvements are needed
- Practical: Conform to team coding standards
Step 6: Summary Generator
Node Configuration
Node Type: Sub-Agent
Settings:
- Name:
Summary Generator - Prompt:
Integrate review results and create a summary:
## Review Summary
### 📊 Overall Rating
- Score: X/100
- Review Level: {{review_level}}
- Changed Files: X

Best Practices
1. Using Review Levels
- Quick: Hotfixes, urgent response
- Standard: Regular feature additions/fixes
- Thorough: Before release, important refactoring
2. Customizing Prompts
Add team-specific rules:
## Our Coding Standards
- 2-space indentation
- Comments must be in English
- Functions have single responsibility
3. Handling False Positives
When AI misdetects, specify exceptions in prompt:
These are not issues:
- Hardcoded values in test code
- Sample API keys in config files ("your-api-key-here")
4. Continuous Improvement
Save review results to files and review periodically:
# Analyze past review results
/analyze-review-trends
Team Adoption Tips
Step 1: Trial Run
First try individually to verify accuracy and usefulness
Step 2: Adjust Rules
Adjust prompts to match team coding standards
Step 3: Gradual Introduction
Initially use as “reference opinion”, make mandatory when reliability increases
Step 4: Combine with Human Review
AI review catches basic issues, humans focus on design and business logic
Measuring Effectiveness
Measure changes after workflow introduction:
- Reduced review time
