When an AI sees that, it appears to assume the coder has the expertise of a 3-year-old, so produces a PhD dissertation as to why you should add quotes.  Reviewing the review becomes 10x more burdensome than it should.

Hi,

I played around with the Claude code github action again and added an 
additional system prompt to do less verbose messages. They should also 
be cheaper. ;-)

It now also should do inline comments. See here my test review:
https://github.com/hauke/openwrt/pull/10

The inline comments are also nice, you can answer on each of them and 
then mark then as resolved.
