Review a change for correctness and maintainability | DevPrompt Lab

A general engineering review that prioritizes defects and concrete maintainability problems over style preference.

Reusable content

Review the change against its product intent and local conventions. Trace the affected user paths and data states. Look for incorrect behavior, edge cases, error handling gaps, race conditions, compatibility breaks, and complexity that makes the next change unsafe. Report only actionable findings with severity, location, scenario, and a specific correction. Separate blockers from optional improvements. If the change is sound, state that plainly and note any meaningful limits to the review.
