we are finding lots of value in self review. its the “imagine you are doing a synchronous paired review with someone - anything that is difficult to explain, has a code smell, doesnt fit the architecture of the system around you, write a comment.” then at the end, agents do a good job of looping over PR comments.

the second thing would be a guided, educational code review tool - there are a few attempts at this, but nothing that has a good enough interface to actually stick. organize hunks by semantic importance, spend some tokens exploring the surrounding systems, showing how new code, public apis and data model flow with the existing design, and allow a human to traverse larger PRs more quickly.
