What does adamsreview actually do?
adamsreview is built for the point where a list of comments is not enough. It splits review into separate commands so findings can survive across sessions, absorb outside findings, and later turn into a fix plan instead of dying as one review note.
Its strongest differentiator is the path from finding to action. Multiple review lenses, dedupe, validation, walkthrough, grouped fixes, and re-review make it much more serious than a basic diff scan. The price is more setup, more moving parts, and more tokens.
Proof still matters here. The repo is active and open source, but public claims about catching more bugs still lean more on author experience than formal evals. That makes adamsreview easier to justify as a workflow upgrade for Claude Code power users than as a proven replacement for human review.
