Agent Review Checklists for Git-Based Teams
A concise checklist for reviewing agent-generated changes without slowing down delivery.
Four checks before approval
Check intent alignment, constraint compliance, edge-case behavior, and rollback safety. If one check fails, request revision with explicit guidance.
Reviewers should avoid broad feedback like "improve quality". Use structured comments tied to acceptance criteria.
If a change touches docs and execution artifacts, confirm both were updated together.
Keep the checklist lightweight
The checklist should take less than ten minutes for standard changes. If longer, your task decomposition is probably too large.
Use short templates in review comments to reduce variance across reviewers.
Consistency matters more than strictness. A repeatable checklist outperforms ad-hoc expert review in most teams.
What teams can do this week
- • Use four explicit checks before approval.
- • Tie feedback to acceptance criteria.
- • Keep review timeboxed for throughput.
Add this checklist to your next three agent-assisted PRs and compare outcomes.
