The outcome
Find actionable defects without treating generated review comments as authoritative or exposing unnecessary code and secrets.
Step by step
A workflow you can repeat.
- 01
Define the diff, threat model, quality bar, sensitive paths, and checks needed for correctness, security, performance, and maintainability.
- 02
Inspect thread visibility and data policy, remove secrets from the workspace context, and run the review from a clean trusted checkout.
- 03
Use Amp review and narrow repository checks, asking each finding to cite exact code, impact, reproduction evidence, and a minimal correction.
- 04
Reproduce high-severity findings with trusted tests or manual analysis, reject unsupported claims, and ensure suggested fixes do not widen permissions or scope.
- 05
Record accepted and dismissed findings, rerun the project checks after changes, and obtain the required human approval before merge or deployment.
Working standard
What good use looks like.
- Verify every high-impact finding.
- Keep thread sharing intentional.
- Never paste credentials into review context.
