AI writes the pull request and another AI agent covers it in comments. A person still approves it, often without reading it. When it breaks in production, nobody knows how it works.

Review with Claude.
Claude reads a file, an area or the whole pull request, and drafts a comment for each thing worth raising. You decide which ones go on the pull request.
New commits while you review.
The review checks the pull request for new commits when you open it, and every 10 minutes while it is open.

Before you install
Do I need Claude Code?
Only to create a walkthrough, which runs on your own Claude Code. Anyone you share a walkthrough with can read it without Claude Code.
Is the extension free?
Yes. Creating a walkthrough uses your own Claude Code plan, like any other Claude Code session.
Does it post comments to GitHub on its own?
No. Your comments stay in VS Code until you press Submit review.
Where does my code go?
To your own Claude Code, the same as any session you run. Passwords and keys are removed before anything is sent. The extension also checks hyperpowers.dev for updates.
How do I know the explanations are right?
Check them. Each explanation sits next to the code it describes, so a wrong one is easy to spot.
Does it work in Cursor or Antigravity?
Yes. Any editor built on VS Code, like Cursor, Windsurf or Antigravity, installs it from the same .vsix file: open Extensions and choose Install from VSIX.
Does it work without GitHub?
You can read any git repository. Posting your review needs GitHub.
