10 AI Prompts That Make Code Review Actually Useful

Short summary

Structure AI code-review prompts like a senior engineer briefing a reviewer: specify role, prioritized checklist, hard constraints (e.g., 'every point must reference a specific line'), and output format. The author provides three production-ready prompts for standard review, adversarial QA, and security audit—each eliminates generic feedback. The same framework applies to debugging, refactoring, and test writing.
