Making Allies with Adverserial Review
Learn how adversarial reviews, paired with spec-driven development, can significantly improve code quality and security in your projects. Discover practical implementation strategies and helpful plugins.
I’ve built Pairwise, an app that helps organizations run mentorship and networking programs with high-quality matches. Through building it, I’ve refined a system for deeply-researched spec-driven development, coordinated multi-agent implementation, and multi-model adverserial reviews to improve code quality and security.

In this talk, Duncan Schouten addresses the issue of AI agents agreeing too easily with their own outputs by introducing the concept of adversarial review. He demonstrates a multi-agent system where opposing models, such as Claude and Gemini, systematically challenge each other's assumptions, specifications, and code to find mismatches and unstated constraints. Through a live demo of building an SSO module, he shows how this process works iteratively from initial spec generation to final pull request review. The audience learns that front-loading development time on multi-layered, cross-model adversarial reviews significantly improves code quality while avoiding infinite loops of diminishing returns.

- ClaudeClaude is Anthropic's flagship family of large language models (LLMs): a high-performance, Constitutional AI system built for safety, complex reasoning, and expert-level collaboration.Claude is a next-generation AI assistant developed by Anthropic, a research firm prioritizing AI safety. The models (including Opus, Sonnet, and Haiku) leverage Constitutional AI to ensure helpful, honest, and harmless outputs, a key differentiator from competitors. Claude excels at complex enterprise tasks: processing massive context windows for in-depth data analysis, generating and reviewing code, and providing expert-level summarization for documents up to 200,000 tokens. It is deployed as a conversational chatbot and via API, offering scalable AI solutions for developers and businesses.
- GPTGenerative Pre-trained Transformer (GPT): The large language model (LLM) family, pioneered by OpenAI, uses a Transformer architecture to generate human-quality text, code, and multimodal content.GPT is an advanced neural network architecture: specifically, a Generative Pre-trained Transformer. It operates as a foundation model, pre-trained on massive internet-scale datasets to learn grammar, context, and world knowledge (e.g., hundreds of billions of parameters). This pre-training enables its core function: predicting the next most probable word in a sequence. Models like GPT-4 and GPT-4o leverage this capability to execute diverse tasks—from generating complex software code and translating languages to creating coherent, contextually relevant dialogue for applications like ChatGPT.
- GeminiGoogle's natively multimodal AI model: understands and operates across text, code, audio, image, and video.Gemini is Google's most capable and general AI model, engineered from the ground up to be natively multimodal: it seamlessly understands and combines information across text, code, audio, image, and video inputs. The technology is optimized for flexibility, running efficiently on everything from data centers to mobile devices. It is deployed in three key sizes: Ultra (for highly complex tasks), Pro (for broad scaling), and Nano (for efficient on-device tasks). Developers access this power via the Gemini API to build next-generation applications.
- Claude CodeAnthropic's agentic coding tool: Unleash Claude's raw power directly in your terminal or IDE to turn complex, hours-long workflows into a single command.Claude Code is Anthropic’s powerful agentic coding assistant, designed for high-velocity development. It operates natively within your terminal, IDE (VS Code, JetBrains), or via a web interface, allowing you to delegate complex tasks like feature building, bug fixing, and codebase navigation. The agent plans, edits files, executes commands, and creates commits, maintaining awareness of your entire project structure. Internally, Anthropic engineers using Claude Code reported a 67% increase in productivity, demonstrating its capacity to deliver significant gains for Pro and Max plan users.
- Gemini CLIGemini CLI is your open-source AI agent: it brings the power of Gemini models directly into your terminal.The Gemini CLI is an open-source, terminal-first AI agent providing direct, lightweight access to the Gemini model capabilities. It operates as an interactive Read-Eval-Print Loop (REPL), enabling developers to execute complex tasks like code generation, project analysis, and bug fixing through natural language prompts. The CLI leverages a Reason and Act (ReAct) loop, orchestrating built-in tools (file system operations, shell commands, web search) and custom extensions via the Model Context Protocol (MCP). Users can access powerful models, including Gemini 2.5 Pro and Gemini 3 Pro, for high-performance agentic coding and streamlined workflows, all managed from the command line.
