**If you take one thing:** `code-review-turbo`, three-agent PR bug hunt. Claude, Codex and Cursor Bugbot each review the PR, then the main agent cross-checks their findings to drop hallucinated bugs.

## In their words

> These days, given a slow-loading website, even as someone who’s written about browser performance for years and who literally worked on a browser performance team, I would probably just chuck a Chrome trace at Claude Code and have it suggest improvements. In fact I’ve done this very thing in my day job and gotten some good results.

> Note that you’ll need gh installed, and also that I use Claude with Opus 4.7 on xhigh thinking and Codex with GPT 5.5 on high thinking.

> Run a Claude sub-agent, Codex, and Cursor Bugbot to find bugs in this PR ranked by critical/high/medium/low. Once they’re all done, review their findings, do your own research to rule out false positives, and write a final report.
