Request a Focused Code Review

Get a structured code review that focuses on correctness, security and readability rather than style nitpicks.

When to use this prompt

  • Code review
  • Debugging
  • Learning to code

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

{{code}}
The code snippet or function to review.
{{intent}}
A short description of what the code is supposed to do.

How to customize it

Paste your code in place of {{code}} and describe what it's supposed to do in {{intent}}.

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.
