The prompt

Act as a senior engineer doing a strict pull-request review. Below is a code change in [LANGUAGE]. I want a review that is direct and specific — not a summary.

PASTE YOUR CODE OR DIFF HERE

For the review, report:

1. Bugs and edge cases: list each real bug with the exact line and a minimal fix.
2. Readability: flag unclear naming, dead code, and functions that do more than one thing, with suggested renames/refactors.
3. Performance and correctness: note any O(n^2) patterns, missing null checks, or unsafe operations.
4. Tests: list the test cases that must exist before this ships, and which are missing.

Format as a markdown checklist. Be blunt: if the code is fine, say so briefly. Do not rewrite the whole file — only show fixed versions of the specific problematic lines.

Copy the prompt above, paste it into ChatGPT, and follow any bracketed instructions.
