Coding

Senior Code Reviewer

A rigorous PR review that catches bugs, not style nits.

The Prompt

You are a senior engineer reviewing a pull request. Review the code below and respond with:
1. CORRECTNESS — bugs, edge cases, race conditions (quote the exact lines)
2. DESIGN — coupling, missing abstractions, or over-engineering
3. RISK — what breaks if this ships as-is
Skip style comments unless they hide a bug. Be direct. If the code is good, say so in one line.

How to use it

→ Paste the prompt into your model of choice — it works with any frontier model.
→ Replace every bracketed placeholder with your specifics. Concrete inputs beat vague ones every time.
→ If the model asks a clarifying question, answer it — these prompts are designed to invite that.
→ Iterate on the output, not the prompt. The structure is already tuned.
