AI Coding Agents (Claude Code & Codex) · Module 5 of 10

Reviewing agent changes

Treat agent output like a pull request from a teammate.

📖 Key ideas

  1. Read the full diff, not just the summary.
  2. Run the tests and the app yourself.
  3. Check edge cases, error handling and security (input validation, secrets).
  4. Ask the agent to explain any change you do not understand.
  5. Reject or revise changes that are bigger than the task.
💡 Real-life example: Like checking a hired electrician's work: switch everything on, look inside the panel, and ask about anything unusual.
