Do coding-agent workflows replace pull requests, code review, or CI?

No. A coding-agent workflow adds repository-level task and evidence structure; pull requests, review, and CI keep their existing roles.

Direct answer

Coding-agent workflows do not replace pull requests, code review, or CI. They make agent work easier to review by recording intent, scope, validation, and implementation evidence before the existing repository controls evaluate and approve the change.

Practical guidance

Make the next review decision easier.

Pull requests carry change review

A pull request remains the collaborative surface for diff discussion, approval, ownership, and merge decisions.

CI executes repository checks

Continuous integration remains the independent system that runs configured checks. The task contract tells reviewers which checks are necessary for the specific work.

Workflow artifacts explain the handoff

Task definitions and summaries give reviewers a durable explanation of the intended boundary and observed evidence before they evaluate the change.
