In this demonstration we will add an agentic code-review step that runs automatically whenever a pull request is opened or updated. You may begin from the sample iOS repository that has been used throughout the program, or from module materials https://github.com/kodecocodes/m3-aici-materials. This repository already contains a basic CI workflow that builds and tests the app; we will extend it with a dedicated review job. I will be using files from 01-integrating-agentic-review-into-ci/Starter. If you are using your own repo, copy the .github folder to start — it already contains workflows/ci.yml and the shared helpers under .github/scripts/. We will add two markdown files at the repository root, CODE_REVIEW.md and CI_GUIDANCE.md, plus the new review workflow.
