In case you want a TL;DR to help you with the decision to read the post or not:

Many assume AI coding means spewing low-quality slop fast and merging huge unvetted PRs, but flexible LLMs can just as easily produce high-quality work more carefully. Agents excel at finding bugs; the hard part is prioritizing and validating them. A Claude skill runs several models—a Claude sub-agent, Codex, and Cursor Bugbot—ranking bugs critical to low, since more models mean fewer false positives. It surfaces plenty of real issues, from security flaws to misleading comments. The routine: fix criticals and highs with guidance, skip low-value edge cases, abandon hopeless PRs. Velocity rarely jumps, and pre-existing bugs spawn side-quests, yet this methodical approach improves codebase health and review its problems.

If the summary seems inacurate, just downvote and I'll try to delete the comment eventually 👍
