Get a second pair of AI eyes on every code change
“I'm the only one reviewing my code (or my AI's code) and things slip through.”
Have a separate AI pass review each pull request for bugs, security and style. It works best as a draft you edit, not an auto-approve button.
Fix it yourself in 3 steps
- Write a short review checklist: correctness, security, tests, and your house style.
- Point a reviewer agent at the diff (in a fresh session, not the one that wrote the code) and ask for findings ranked by severity.
- You read the findings, keep the real ones, and post the review yourself.
Copy this prompt
Review this pull request diff as a skeptical senior engineer. Use this checklist: [checklist]. List findings ranked high/medium/low, each with file, line, why it matters and a suggested fix. Say 'no issues found' for any checklist item you checked and passed. Do not approve, merge or post comments — stop after the list.
Fill in the [brackets]. Each prompt says when the AI should stop, so it doesn't wander off.
