GitLab and Claude Code: External agent as reviewer (Java Spring Boot API feature development)
Code review feedback is waiting in a GitLab merge request for a Java Spring Boot API. Instead of addressing each comment manually, a Claude-powered external agent is mentioned directly in the MR. It reads the diff and review comments, applies the requested changes, commits them, and leaves a summary — all inside GitLab, with every action traceable.
Presented by Michael Friedrich, Principal Developer Advocate at GitLab.
What you'll learn:
- How to enable Claude Code as an external agent in GitLab Duo Agent Platform
- How to trigger the agent from an MR comment using @mention
- How the agent reads review feedback and applies code changes autonomously
- How to validate the agent's work before approving and merging
