SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Claude Code adversarial review helps you challenge design choices, tradeoffs, and risk assumptions in local code changes to surface issues early.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Perform a design-challenging critique of diffs, branch changes, and risky migrations.
  • Preserve focus text and scope flags while evaluating architecture, safety, and maintainability tradeoffs.
  • Ideal for architecture reviews, high-risk refactors, and when a regular code review might miss deeper design implications.

Quick Start

Invoke adversarial review with optional flags to challenge the design of your local changes.

FAQPage Schema
What is adversarial code review and how does it challenge design tradeoffs?▼

Adversarial code review challenges design choices in local code changes to surface architecture issues early. It evaluates risk assumptions and maintainability tradeoffs across base-branch, working-tree, or auto scope scenarios to catch deeper design implications.

How do I run an adversarial review on local working-tree changes?▼

Invoke the adversarial review with explicit arguments to challenge local changes. Specify the target scope using --base, --scope, or --model flags to evaluate base-branch, working-tree, or auto scenarios, while preserving any user-provided focus text.

Can I focus an architecture review on specific code changes using scope flags?▼

Yes, you can target specific architecture questions by providing optional focus text alongside --base, --scope, and --model arguments. The review preserves your focus text and enforces explicit argument handling to evaluate the specified changes.

Does adversarial code review work for high-risk refactors and migrations?▼

Adversarial code review is ideal for high-risk refactors and risky migrations. It performs a design-challenging critique of branch changes to evaluate architecture, safety, and maintainability tradeoffs that regular reviews might miss.

When should I use an adversarial review instead of a regular code review?▼

Use adversarial review when a regular code review might miss deeper design implications. It is built to challenge design tradeoffs, risk assumptions, and architecture questions in local code changes before they become critical issues.
