How I Use Claude for Code Review — Catching Bugs Before They Reach Production
Short summary
A development team reduced their bug escape rate from 23% to 3% by using Claude as a systematic code reviewer across five layers of analysis. The approach fully automates style and logic checking, partially automates security and performance review, and surfaces complex architecture decisions for human expertise. Includes specific prompts, real code examples, and direct implementation guidance.
