Prompt
Review the following code. It's intended to: {{intent}}
Focus your review on:
1. Correctness — does it do what it's intended to do, including edge cases?
2. Security — any injection, validation or data-exposure issues?
3. Readability — only flag naming/structure issues that would genuinely confuse another engineer, not personal style preferences.
For each issue, explain the concrete failure scenario, not just "this could be improved."
Code:
{{code}}Variables

- The code snippet or function to review.

Frequently asked questions
- How much code can I paste in at once?
- Keep it to one focused function, file, or logical change rather than an entire codebase — the review quality drops sharply once the model has to track too much unrelated context at once.
- Will this catch every bug?
- No — it's a structured first pass focused on correctness, security and readability, not a substitute for tests or a human reviewer's judgment on business logic.
- Can I use this to review someone else's pull request?
- Yes — paste the diff or changed code and describe the PR's stated intent in the intent field, the same way you would for your own code.
