What does adamsreview actually do?
Most AI review tools break down at the point where a developer needs more than a list of comments. adamsreview is built around that exact gap. It splits review into separate commands so the output can survive across sessions, be enriched with outside findings, and later become a fix plan instead of a dead-end review note. That matters if your usual frustration is not lack of analysis, but losing state between passes or having to rerun everything after one context reset.
Its strongest differentiator is the path from finding to action. The plugin can run multiple review lenses, dedupe and validate findings, walk a human through ambiguous calls, then dispatch grouped fix agents and review their work again before commit. That is a more serious workflow than a basic diff review command. The tradeoff is obvious: more setup, more moving pieces, and more tokens. If your review culture is already loose, adding more AI stages may create a larger pile of outputs without creating better decisions.
