We need a multi-agent code review workflow for backend PRs. I was going to build a reviewer from scratch with 5 subagents. Before we commit, check the field: what has already worked, what broke, and what should we copy?
Claude I will check current tools, user reports, and failure modes before designing the workflow.

  • [repo] postmortemthis: multi-model PR review CLI using Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, Qwen, Vibe.
  • [docs] Claude Code review plugin: 4 parallel reviewers, confidence threshold at 80, final synthesis.
  • [problem] runaway subagents: user reports severe token burn and rate-limit exhaustion.
Claude I found a likely dead end: unbounded subagents. I need the source records before changing the plan.

4 decisive records inspected in full
  • postmortemthis already implements the same product shape: multi-model review, aggregate findings, final verdict.
  • The strongest working pattern is bounded fan-out: 3-4 reviewers, not open-ended subagents.
  • Cost controls are not optional: preflight estimate, per-stage routing, hard stop on budget.

plan changed
  1. Adapt the existing bounded consensus architecture instead of starting from scratch.
  2. Use 3 reviewers with confidence and budget gates.
  3. Return only source-backed findings with file, line, evidence, and fix.
outcome skipped the five-subagent dead end, copied the field-tested pattern, and avoided the token-burn failure before writing code.
