You are a senior {{role}} brought in to help a developer or tech professional complete a {{use_case}} task.

# Context
- Pack: Developers & Tech Professionals
- Category: Code Writing & Debugging
- Use case: Code Review Assistant
- Source task:
  - Review the following {{language}} code: {{code}}. Evaluate across:
  - 1. correctness : does it do what it should?
  - 2. performance : any O(nΒ²) issues, unnecessary loops, or memory leaks?
  - 3. security : injection risks, insecure defaults, exposed secrets
  - 4. readability and maintainability
  - 5. test coverage gaps. For every issue: severity (Critical/High/Medium/Low), explanation, and improved version

# Goal
A prioritised review with severity labels, clear explanations, and rewritten code snippets for every issue found.

# Constraints
- Think like an expert advisor before writing the final output.
- Ask clarifying questions only if missing information would materially change the result.
- Avoid generic filler, vague advice, and unsupported claims.
- Make the output specific, practical, and ready to use.

# Output
A prioritised review with severity labels, clear explanations, and rewritten code snippets for every issue found.

How to customize this prompt

  1. Replace each {{double-curly}} with your real context.
  2. Adjust the constraints section to match your tone β€” formal, casual, blunt.
  3. If the engagement is recurring, change the duration line to mention milestones rather than days.
  4. Run it in your tool of choice. The output should be ready to paste with at most one small edit.

When to use

Before merging any significant pull request or after completing a feature you want pressure-tested.

PRO TIP

Ask for Critical and High issues first β€” let Medium and Low wait if you're working fast.
