reviewer agents

How this channel uses the term In the captured material, reviewer agents appear as part of the multi-agent review practice that runs throughout Coding Agents in Practice: rather than trusting a single agent's output, practitioners route work through a second agent whose job is to review it before a human verifies the result [^e8312281-97f0-5775-ac82-0cad7f60c034@summary]. The framing across the channel is consistent: agents — whether Codex, Claude Code, or Claude Cowork — are used to build, review, and iterate on real software, and review is an explicit stage in that loop, not an afterthought [^e8312281-97f0-5775-ac82-0cad7f60c034@47]. Where reviewer agents fit in the workflow The channel's recurring lesson is that the human's role shifts from typing code to planning, orchestrating, and verifying [^e8312281-97f0-5775-ac82-0cad7f60c034@426]. Within that shift, a reviewer agent acts as an automated checkpoint in the orchestration layer: a producing agent hands off a change, a reviewer agent examines it, and the human makes the final verification call. This mirrors the delegation-first workflows described across the topic — including Why We Switched From Claude Code to Codex, where a general-purpose agent connected to tools and the file system handles day-to-day work under explicit guardrails [^96100b6a-a941-5a32-adef-3df8a7183d9e@47]. - Reviewer agents are coding agents assigned to check another agent's output rather than produce code themselves.- They sit inside the channel's multi-agent review practice within Coding Agents in Practice.- They support, but do not replace, the human's role in planning, orchestrating, and verifying agent work.
