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 Part of the tutorial: Claude Code and GitLab: Three Workflows That Ship: https://about.gitlab.com/blog/claude-code-and-gitlab/ - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JH4Sae3eDpw - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q8XWnmdIaI0 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tw0wNet1HCc Questions?
