How it works

Once installed, Claude Code can:

  • Review your code — just say "review my changes" and Claude runs the review for you

  • Compare branches — "review my branch against main" triggers a branch diff review

  • Review patch files — point it at any .patch or .diff file

  • Manage API keys — create, list, and delete keys for CI/CD

  • Fix issues — Claude reads the review feedback and offers to apply fixes directly

How to use Optibot with Claude

After installing the plugin, just ask Claude naturally:

What you say | What happens

"review my changes" | Reviews uncommitted local changes

"review my branch" | Compares current branch against main

"review this diff" | Reviews an arbitrary patch file

"set up optibot" | Walks you through auth setup

"create an API key for CI" | Creates and displays a new API key

Uninstalling

claude plugin uninstall optibot
