Working solo means no one reviews your code before it goes out. This recipe fills that gap — give AI your code and specific context, and get the kind of feedback a senior developer would give in a thorough review.

The Recipe

Please review this code as a senior [language] developer with a strong focus on [your priorities — e.g., security, performance, readability, maintainability].

Context:
- What this code does: [brief description]
- Where it runs: [production / prototype / internal tool / etc.]
- My experience level: [approximate]
- Languages/frameworks: [relevant stack]

Code:
[paste your code]

Review it for:
1. Correctness — will this actually do what I think it does?
2. Edge cases — what inputs or states could break it?
3. [Your priority — e.g., security vulnerabilities / performance / readability]
4. Anything I'll regret in 6 months

Be specific. For each issue, tell me the line or section and exactly what to change.

Example priorities for the review

ContextPriority to add
User-facing production”Security vulnerabilities and input validation”
Performance-sensitive”Inefficiencies and N+1 queries”
Long-term codebase”Maintainability and what will be confusing to the next dev”
Prototype”Correctness — are there any logic errors?”

🔁 Leftover Remixes

🌶️ Spicy: “After the review, rewrite the worst part in a way that fixes all the issues you identified.”

🧊 Mild: “Just tell me the single most serious issue in this code. One thing.”

💰 Budget: “Read this code and tell me: what’s the most likely bug that will show up in production?”
