How I Review AI-Generated Code
70% of teams report worse code quality since adopting AI tools. The problem isn't AI. It's that most teams have no review process for AI-generated code.
In this video, I walk through my 4-layer approach to AI code review. Each layer catches a different category of problems so that by the time a human reviews the code, most issues are already handled.
Layer 1: Automate the obvious (hooks, linting, tests)
Layer 2: Review locally (AI reviewing AI, fresh context)
Layer 3: Automated CI checks (safety net on every PR)
Layer 4: Human review (architecture, business logic, judgement)
I demo each layer with real code and show you the exact configs I use.
All configs, hooks, and review prompts are linked below.
