This is why I built Metaswarm and Metareview and why they work so well, and the are building and supporting production infrastructures and sites for months on end. Give them a try: https://github.com/dsifry/metaswarm and https://github.com/dsifry/metareview

Just got an alert that we would owe $12 Billion. BILLION. After getting me out of bed and a breathless 15 minutes of investigation, I found: https://health.aws.amazon.com/health/status#billingconsole_1... which notes this is an ongoing issue on Amazon's Global Billing Console.

Thanks for the heart attack, Amazon!

I have been helping people get onboarded with Claude Code and the orchestrator I wrote called Metaswarm [1) and the response has been way beyond my expectations.

But don't take my word for it, try it out for yourself, it is MIT licensed, and you can create new projects with it or add it to an existing project.

Some github comments are marked as sctionable, some have threads and suggestions, some are suggestions or are nitpicks. This provides you with a deterministic, reliable red/green approach that you cn use to enforce your policy. Give it a try and you will see how it is much more reliable than using a nondeterministic agent, especially for complex reviews!

Yeah, it is about making sure that EVERY actionable PR comment gets addressed - whwther by fixing, resolving, creating a new issue, commenting that it is a will not fix, or blocking for human review - and then giving you a clear deterministic check you can do to reliably enforce your policy.

Just to be clear - the hook is deterministic, but the subagent running with an mcp server loaded is not - and for medium/large PRs, it can run out of context window or just forget what it is trying to do and get lazy and say 'Everything is good, ready to merge!' when in fact tests are failing or there are still unaddressed PR comments.

I found that it has improved overall code quality significantly, at the cost of somewhat slower velocity. But it has meant fewer interruptions where the ai is just waiting for me, or saying "Everything is ready!" only to find that ci/cd failed or there were clearly existing comments/issues.

Lol, I thought it did a reasonably good job, but to each their own - this was the difference between releasing the project so others could use it with decent documentation, or not releasing and just using it internally. :)
