Claude Code hands most code reading to machines: merged pull requests doubled while reverts fell more than 40 percent
Anthropic's Claude Code team moved most code reading to automated review and kept humans for high-risk decisions. From June to September, merged pull requests to the Claude Code codebase more than doubled while the share that had to be reverted fell by more than 40 percent. Claude verifies changes before submission with runnable tests or builds, every pull request gets a multi-agent bug review with voting filters, and risk tiers set how many human approvals a change needs.
