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.
