Claude Code Workflows: Automated Code, Security, and Design Review
A battle-tested collection of three production-grade workflows for automating code review, security scanning, and design review using Claude Code agents and GitHub Actions. Built by an AI-native startup based on real usage since Claude Code's launch, these workflows integrate dual-loop agent architecture with slash commands to eliminate routine review tasks. Business owners can use this to reduce engineering bottlenecks, catch security vulnerabilities before deployment, and maintain UI consistency without manual QA overhead.
MISSION OBJECTIVES
- 01Clone the repository (git clone https://github.com/OneRedOak/claude-code-workflows) and navigate to the code-review folder to read the setup README and identify which GitHub Actions secrets and slash commands you need to configure for your repo.
- 02Install the Security Review Workflow into an existing GitHub repo by copying the workflow YAML into your .github/workflows directory, then open a test PR with a known dummy secret to confirm the automated scanner flags it correctly.
- 03Add the Design Review Workflow to a front-end project by installing the Playwright MCP dependency and wiring the provided slash command into your Claude Code setup, then trigger it on a recent UI PR to generate your first automated accessibility and design consistency report.
FIELD OPERATIONS
AI-Gated PR Merge Pipeline
Build a GitHub Actions pipeline that blocks PR merges until all three workflows (code, security, design) return a passing score. Use Claude Code agents to generate a consolidated review summary comment on every PR, giving developers a single actionable checklist before human reviewers even look at the code.
Weekly Security Posture Dashboard
Schedule the Security Review Workflow to scan your entire codebase every Monday morning and pipe the severity-classified findings into a Slack channel or Notion database. Track OWASP Top 10 coverage over time and auto-assign remediation tickets to the engineer who introduced each vulnerability.
STRATEGIC APPLICATIONS
- →A SaaS startup with a small engineering team uses the Code Review and Security Review workflows to automatically screen every PR for bugs and exposed API keys, freeing their two senior engineers from routine review work and cutting time-to-merge by half.
- →A digital agency managing multiple client front-end projects deploys the Design Review Workflow with Playwright MCP to enforce brand consistency and WCAG accessibility standards across all repos, catching visual regressions before client demos without hiring a dedicated QA engineer.
