I currently use a pipeline where Claude Code works from a clearly defined PRD, writes acceptance criteria tests for each issue, implements the code, Github branch protections force everything to go via PRs on separate branches off of main, compounding tests run over all implemented features to ensure nothing new broke something older, Greptile reviews, Claude iterates, until all checks green and Greptile is happy with 5/5. I’m wondering if it’s actually good to have an “outside” LLM, like Greptile, running code reviews because its harness is specialised for the job instead of just another instance of Claude Code reviewing its own output. Does anyone here know what kind of scaffold makes a tool like Greptile or Coderabbit actually more powerful than the regular code review skill by Claude? Are they worth the money? 50 Reviews per month for 30$ and then 1$ per extra review is goddamn expensive (Greptile) submitted by /u/ThisIsTheIndustry
