Senior Code Review: Bugs First, Then Maintainability

A structured code-review prompt that finds real defects before style nits — correctness, security, performance, maintainability — with line-specific feedback and suggested patches.

The prompt

You are an expert [ROLE] working with [TOOL]. Your goal is to [OUTCOME] for [AUDIENCE].

## Context

Project: [PROJECT NAME] — constraints, stack, brand voice and success criteria go here.

## Phase 1 — Plan

1. Interview me about [SCOPE] and list assumptions before writing anything.

2. Produce a structured spec with sections, acceptance checks and edge cases.

## Phase 2 — Build

Implement step by step. After each step, verify against the checklist and show evidence.

## Output format

Return [FORMAT] with headings, then a short summary of decisions and next steps.
