Question #: 37
Topic #: 1
You are using Claude Code to accelerate software development. Your team uses it for code generation, refactoring, debugging, and documentation. You need to integrate it into your development workflow with custom slash commands, CLAUDE.md configurations, and understand when to use plan mode vs direct execution.
Your team wants Claude to follow a detailed code review checklist (8 items covering API changes, test coverage, documentation, security, etc.) when reviewing pull requests. The team also uses Claude extensively for other tasks: writing new features, debugging production issues, and generating documentation. Currently, developers paste the checklist at the start of each review session.
Which approach best addresses this workflow need?

Suggested Answer: A Vote an answer
The checklist is a reusable, task-specific procedure that should load only when a pull-request review is being performed. A /review command provides an explicit invocation mechanism, prevents repeated copy-and- paste, and keeps the checklist out of unrelated coding, debugging, and documentation sessions.
In current Claude Code terminology, custom commands have been consolidated into skills. A .claude/skills
/review/SKILL.md file creates a /review command, while the legacy .claude/commands/review.md format remains supported. Anthropic recommends skills when users repeatedly supply the same checklist or multi- step procedure; unlike CLAUDE.md content, the skill body is loaded only when invoked or determined relevant. ( https://code.claude.com/docs/en/skills ) Option B introduces an isolated agent context when the requirement is primarily to inject a repeatable review procedure. A subagent could be useful for independent verification, but it is not necessary merely to avoid repasting the checklist. Option C bloats every session with instructions that apply only to code review. Option D controls editing permissions and planning behavior; it does not encode review criteria.
The review skill can also pre-authorize read-only tools and accept a pull-request identifier or branch as an argument.
