I’m thinking of building my own Claude-style PR review skill.md.

While digging around, I came across CodeRabbit, which a lot of people seem to already use for PR reviews.

Now I’m a bit confused about what the real difference is.

From what I can tell:

CodeRabbit feels like

\- A fast, inline reviewer comments directly on PRs

\- Catches small bugs, style issues, quick wins

Claude-style review feels more like

\- Understanding the whole PR

\- Reasoning about logic, edge cases, regressions

\- Almost like a “senior engineer pass”

So now I’m wondering if I’m just reinventing something that already exists… or if there’s actually a gap here.

My current thinking is:

• CodeRabbit = high-speed, everyday reviewer

• Claude-style = slower, deeper, more thoughtful review

But I don’t know if that’s actually true in practice or just how it sounds in theory.
