How I review a 70-file pull request that an AI wrote
The order I work in on a pull request too big to read top to bottom: what to do before the diff, how to sort the files, what to read closely and what to skip.

How much does it cost to review a pull request with Claude?
What a review with Claude costs in Hyperpowers, measured on a small sample pull request, what makes it cost more, and how to keep the cost down.
AI code review tools compared: when a person should stay the reviewer
Bot reviewers like CodeRabbit and Copilot, reading the diff on GitHub, and guided review with Hyperpowers: what each is for, and when a person should review.
How to review large GitHub pull requests in VS Code
Review a 40 or 70 file GitHub pull request in VS Code with Hyperpowers: paste the link, read it change by change in run order, and submit one review.

An AI agent changed 40 files and nobody remembers why. How Hyperpowers finds the Claude Code request behind each changed file, and what it leaves out.
How to catch APIs an AI coding assistant made up
AI coding assistants sometimes call functions and options that don't exist in your version of a library. Checks a reviewer can run to catch them before merge.
