Amp decoupled its code review agent from any user interface, making it a composable and extensible subroutine invocable from the command line or via natural language requests in threads. It also introduced customizable Checks defined in .agents/checks/ directories, which allow teams to define review criteria scoped to specific parts of the codebase.
