Claude Code: Code Review Generally Available, 3x Faster With Quick, Standard and Deep Modes

Claude CodeView original changelog

Anthropic moved Claude Code's Code Review out of research preview and made it generally available to Claude Team and Enterprise organizations. Most reviews now finish in about 6 to 10 minutes instead of roughly 20, findings are clearer, and admins can pick a Quick, Standard (default) or Deep depth for each repository. Eligible Enterprise organizations can also claim at least $10,000 in Code Review credits.

Key Takeaways

  • Code Review is now generally available to Claude Team and Enterprise organizations, ending the research preview that began in March 2026.
  • Most reviews finish about 3x faster, dropping from roughly 20 minutes to 6 to 10 minutes.
  • Each finding now states the problem, its trigger and the fix, which makes comments quicker to act on.
  • Admins set review depth per repository with Quick, Standard (default) or Deep modes.
  • Setup is admin-side only: enable it in Claude Code settings, install the GitHub App and pick repositories, while developers get reviews automatically on new PRs.
  • Eligible Enterprise organizations can claim at least $10,000 in credits by January 15, 2027, with credits expiring 30 days after claiming.

Code Review leaves research preview

Anthropic announced on October 15, 2026 that Code Review, the managed reviewer that checks pull requests on GitHub, is now generally available. It is open to Claude Team and Enterprise organizations. The feature first appeared in research preview in March 2026, and the general availability release is positioned as the version teams can adopt as a standing part of their pull request workflow.

Faster reviews

According to Anthropic, most reviews now finish about three times faster than in the research preview. Where a typical review previously took roughly 20 minutes, most now complete in 6 to 10 minutes. For teams that merge many pull requests a day, shorter turnaround means feedback arrives while the author still has the change in mind.

Clearer findings

Anthropic says Code Review now surfaces more of the bugs that matter while keeping findings shorter and easier to read. Each finding states the problem, what triggers it, and the suggested fix, so a reviewer can judge it at a glance instead of reconstructing the reasoning.

Per-repository depth control

Admins can now choose how deep a review goes for each repository: Quick, Standard (the default) or Deep. This lets a team run lightweight passes on low-risk repositories and spend more time on sensitive ones, rather than applying one setting everywhere.

Setup

For admins, enabling Code Review means turning it on in Claude Code settings, installing the GitHub App, and selecting the repositories to review. Developers need no configuration: reviews run automatically on new pull requests. Anthropic points to the Code Review documentation at code.claude.com/docs/en/code-review for details.

Launch credits for Enterprise

Alongside general availability, Anthropic is offering eligible Claude Enterprise organizations at least $10,000 in Code Review credits, claimable by January 15, 2027. Credits expire 30 days after they are claimed, and terms apply.
