PR Reviewer

Reviews pull requests by detecting logic bugs, security risks, test gaps, API changes, and style issues, providing a structured report prioritizing block mer...

Description

Review pull requests and code diffs across any language. Finds logic bugs, missing tests, security holes, breaking API changes, and naming problems before they merge. Returns a structured report: block-merge issues first, then warnings, then style suggestions.

Use when

• "review my PR"
• "check this diff"
• "is this PR mergeable"
• "what's wrong with this change"
• "code review"
• Any git diff, patch file, or PR description paste

Supported languages

Any language with a git diff. Specialised checklist for: Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, C#, Go, Rust, Java/Kotlin, SQL migrations.

Input

Paste one of:

• A git diff (git diff main...feature-branch)
• A GitHub/GitLab PR URL (if accessible)
• Raw code with a description of what it changes

Optionally specify: target branch, framework, whether this is a library (breaking changes matter more) or an app.

## PR Review

### Block Merge
- [Finding] — [why this must be fixed before merging]
  ✗ Problem: [problematic code]
  ✓ Fix:     [corrected code]

### Warnings (fix before next release)
- [Finding] — [explanation]

### Suggestions (style / future-proofing)
- [Finding] — [explanation]

### Approved
- [Specific patterns done right — always include at least one]

### Summary
[2–3 sentences: biggest risk, top fix, overall verdict (merge / fix first / needs major work)]

Review checklist

Logic & correctness

• Off-by-one errors in loops or slices
• Null/nil dereference without guard
• Incorrect error handling (swallowed, wrong type checked)
• Wrong variable captured in closure/lambda
• Race condition introduced (shared mutable state, no lock)
• Missing edge case (empty input, zero value, max value)

Security

• User input used without sanitisation (SQL, shell, HTML)
• Secret or credential added to source (API key, password, token)
• Insecure deserialization
• Overly permissive CORS / auth bypass
• Path traversal risk

Tests

• New behaviour with zero test coverage
• Test that only tests the happy path (no error case)
• Mock that makes the test vacuously pass
• Missing assertion (test calls but never asserts)

API / interface

• Public method signature changed without deprecation
• Required parameter added to existing public function
• Return type narrowed or widened unexpectedly
• Serialised field renamed (breaks existing clients)

Performance

• N+1 query introduced
• Unbounded loop over user-supplied collection
• Synchronous I/O in async context
• Large allocation in hot path

Style

• Inconsistent naming with surrounding code
• Dead code left in (commented-out blocks, unused variables)
• TODO left without ticket reference
• Misleading variable/function name

Severity definitions

• Block Merge: Correctness bug, security hole, data loss risk, or breaking API change — must be fixed
• Warning: Performance issue, missing test coverage, or hard-to-debug behavior — fix before release
• Suggestion: Style, clarity, or maintainability improvement — up to the author

Self-improvement instructions

After each review, note the most common finding category (logic, security, tests, API, performance, style). After 20 reviews, surface the top 3 patterns as "Most common PR issues in [language]" to help users learn, not just fix.
