claude-lrc
Free, Micro AI code reviews that run from Claude Code
AI agents write code fast. They also silently remove logic, change behavior, and introduce bugs -- without telling you. You often find out in production.
claude-lrc fixes this. It brings AI code review directly into Claude Code and reviews every diff before it lands. 60-second setup. Completely free.
Review, vouch, or skip — without switching tools or remembering separate CLI steps. Just tell Claude what you want, or use a slash command. Either way, the review runs.

Why
- 🤖 AI agents write code fast and quietly. Logic removed. Behavior changed. Edge cases gone. You notice in production.
- 🔍 Review while the change is fresh. AI inline comments show you exactly what changed and what looks wrong — before it lands.
- 📍 Review where the code was generated. You're already in Claude Code. The review stays there too.
- 🗣️ Natural language lowers friction. No separate CLI to remember. Just say what you want.
- 🎯 Explicit commands give deterministic control. When you want exact behavior, slash commands deliver it.
- 🔁 Teams and individuals both benefit. The review habit is built in, not dependent on everyone remembering a step.
Prerequisites
claude-lrc uses the LiveReview infrastructure for AI code review — the same backend that powers git-lrc.
You don't need git-lrc pre-installed. The plugin handles its own backend bootstrap during setup. But if you already use git-lrc, claude-lrc fits right alongside it — they share the same review state, git log entries, and coverage tracking.
Get Started
Install
Add the marketplace:
claude plugin marketplace add HexmosTech/claude-lrc
Install the plugin:
claude plugin install lrc@claude-lrc
Reload plugins in the current Claude session:
/reload-plugins
Setup
Run setup directly:
/lrc:setup
Or just ask Claude:
set up lrc
Setup opens browser-based steps for:
- LiveReview account — sign in with Hexmos
- AI connector — connect a Gemini, OpenAI, Claude, or other supported API key
One-time setup. After this, review flows are ready in every repo you open in Claude Code.
How You Use It
Option A: Natural language
Tell Claude what you want:
review with lrc
skip lrc review
vouch for this
check if lrc is active
enable lrc hooks
disable claude gate
The plugin routes those requests to the matching review or hook flow.
Option B: Slash commands
Use explicit slash commands when you want exact, predictable behavior:
/lrc:review
/lrc:skip
/lrc:vouch
/lrc:hooks
/lrc:setup
What You Can Do
Review code changes
Stage your files, then ask for a review:
review with lrc
Or explicitly:
/lrc:review
The review UI opens in your browser. AI comments appear inline on the diff.
Skip review
Intentionally bypass AI review and record that decision:
skip lrc review
Or:
/lrc:skip
The git log will record skipped — no review ran, and no attestation is made.
Vouch manually
You've iterated, you're satisfied, and you want to take responsibility without triggering another AI pass:
vouch for this
Or:
/lrc:vouch
Coverage and iteration stats from prior review rounds are preserved.
Manage hook state
check if lrc is active
enable lrc hooks
disable claude gate
Or use the explicit hook command:
/lrc:hooks
The Review Experience
When a review runs, the UI opens in your browser. You get:
- GitHub-style diff — color-coded additions and deletions
- Inline AI comments — at the exact lines that matter, with severity badges
- Review summary — high-level overview of what the AI found
- Staged file list — all staged files, with navigation between them
- Copy issues — one click to copy all AI-flagged issues, ready to paste back into Claude
- Cycle through issues — navigate between comments without scrolling
