/code-review
A Claude Code slash command, read out of the shipped bundle. No mined inventory carries it: everything below comes from what this site has written about it.
Skill. Review the current diff, or a PR number, branch, or path you pass, for correctness bugs. Depending on your model and effort level, the review also covers cleanup opportunities. Pass --fix to apply findings, --comment to post them on the GitHub PR or GitLab merge request, or ultra to run a deep cloud review. Posting to a GitLab merge request requires Claude Code v2.1.257 or later. With ultra on a github.com PR target, pass --post to preselect posting the finished findings to the PR in the launch dialog; --post requires Claude Code v2.1.227 or later. See Review a diff locally for the effort levels, targeting, and how it relates to /simplify. Alias: /review

First cited
4The earliest release whose published evidence quoted /code-review was v2.1.203, 7 Jul 2026. That is the oldest release this project wrote about it, so it is a floor on the name's age and not the release that introduced it. It is not a presence reading: which builds carried the name is the table below.
Presence across releases
0The miner has never read a build containing this name. It is here because a changelog entry of ours names it, which is evidence that it existed and not evidence of which releases carried it. The inventory starts at v2.1.138 and everything older than that was never mined.
Read out of the published npm bundle release by release, and out of Anthropic's own documentation as this site captured it. Nothing on this page is a description anybody here wrote about what the slash command does. All slash commands.
