AI Code Review Agents: Checklist Before You Trust the Diff

Automated review catches style issues; it does not replace security review. A merge checklist for agency WordPress code.

AI Engineering Updated 22 июня, 2026 1 min read Practitioner-written

AI review agents are excellent first pass tools. They are not auditors.

What agents catch well

Obvious SQL/escaping issues in PHP templates
Missing esc_html / esc_url in WordPress output
Dead code and inconsistent naming

What humans must still check

Authentication and capability checks
Form spam and rate limits
Cookie/consent interactions
Business logic regressions (pricing, CTAs)

Pre-merge checklist

Agent review comment addressed or rejected with reason
PHP lint + staging click-through on mobile
No secrets in diff
Rank Math / schema unchanged unless intended
