Developers Use Terminal and LLM APIs to Speed Up Code Reviews
A software developer has shared a workflow that replaces browser-based code review tools with a terminal command that pipes Git diffs directly to an AI language model via API. The approach uses a curl command to send code changes to Anthropic's Claude, which returns structured feedback on issues such as SQL injection vulnerabilities, memory leaks, and inconsistent error handling. The developer claims the method reduces review time from several minutes to under 30 seconds compared to navigating GitHub's web interface across multiple browser tabs. Additional context, such as architecture documentation, can be prepended to the diff to help the model understand project-specific patterns. Existing tools like Aider support similar workflows, though the author opted to build a custom bash function to enforce their team's coding standards.
