Claims

C1strongest claim

We present a vision for an AI-powered code review workflow combining specialized agents with human-controlled quality gates. Our framework spans five stages: PR Creation, PR Augmentation, Reviewer Selection, AI-Assisted Code Review, and PR Retrospective.

C2weakest assumption

Current and near-future agentic AI systems can be made sufficiently reliable and unbiased for complex code review tasks across varied projects, with humans able to detect and correct remaining errors at the proposed quality gates.

C3one line summary

The paper presents a vision for an agentic code review framework spanning PR Creation, Augmentation, Reviewer Selection, AI-Assisted Review, and Retrospective, with humans retained at quality gates.
