In addition to your CI pipeline, your organization has enabled Claude’s managed Code Review through...

Option A uses the dedicated configuration mechanism for Anthropic’s managed Code Review service. The official Code Review documentation states that a root-level REVIEW.md is injected into every review agent as the highest-priority instruction block. It can redefine severity, suppress categories already enforced by CI, skip generated paths, and require concrete evidence before particular findings are reported.

The proposed rules map directly to the observed noise. Skipping lint and formatting findings eliminates duplication with deterministic CI checks. Excluding src/gen/* prevents comments on machine-generated code. Requiring a specific source line demonstrating incorrect behavior raises the verification threshold for rendering-helper findings without suppressing genuine defects.

Options B and C configure self-hosted GitHub Actions workflows, but the scenario concerns managed Code Review running through the Claude GitHub App on Anthropic’s infrastructure. Those workflow prompts do not govern the managed reviewer. Option D supplies useful general project context, but CLAUDE.md applies to all Claude Code tasks and has lower review-specific authority. The documentation states that REVIEW.md is the stronger control for changing what managed Code Review flags and how findings are reported. It therefore provides the most targeted solution with the least unnecessary infrastructure.
