Abstract
Agentic code review framework enhances AI-generated pull requests through iterative review and revision cycles, improving both code quality and issue resolution capabilities.
Coding agents increasingly generate pull requests (PRs) for real-world software issues, yet one-shot PR generation remains open-loop: the PR is proposed without systematic review, diagnosis, or revision. We introduce SWE-Review, a framework for closing this loop withagentic code review. Given an issue and an AI-generated PR, a reviewer agent explores the repository, decides whether the PR should be accepted, and provides structured feedback for revision. We evaluate this setting with our proposed SWE-Review-Bench to measure bothreview correctnessand downstreamrevision usefulness. We further curate SWE-Review-Traj dataset to study broader applications of agentic review and fill the data-scarcity gap for open reviewer training. Experiments show that agentic review continuously improves PRs through agenerate-review-revise loop, outperforms single-turn fixed-context review in both decision accuracy and resolve rate after revision, transfers beyond review to improve issue-resolution models, and enables effective and efficienttest-time scaling. These results positionagentic code reviewas a practical mechanism for moving AI coding agents from one-shot PR generation toward closed-loopissue resolution.
