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
