Coding: Review a PR From a Senior Without Just Saying LGTM

Coding Code Review Intermediate 🤖 ChatGPT 👁 3 views

📝 The Prompt

I'm reviewing a PR from [SENIOR ENGINEER] who's more experienced than me: [DESCRIBE CHANGES]. The dynamic is I'll either rubber-stamp it or nitpick to look like I'm contributing. Help me review it well: what should a thoughtful junior actually look for (test coverage, blast radius, error paths they may have skipped because 'it won't happen,' assumptions about future maintainers), how to phrase questions that show curiosity rather than challenge, and which comments to drop in writing vs ask in DM. What good output looks like: a checklist tailored to senior code, 3 example comments using the right tone, and the cutoff for 'I've added value, time to approve.'

⚙️ Replace 2 placeholders: [SENIOR ENGINEER] [DESCRIBE CHANGES]

🚀 How to use this prompt

  1. Copy the prompt using the 📋 button above.
  2. Open ChatGPT (or Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, or your preferred LLM).
  3. Paste the prompt into a new chat. Replace 2 bracketed placeholders ([SENIOR ENGINEER] [DESCRIBE CHANGES] ) with your own details.
  4. Run the prompt and review the AI's response. Most outputs are usable immediately.
  5. Iterate if needed — if the tone, length, or structure isn't quite right, reply with "make it shorter", "use bullet points", or "make it more formal" and the AI will refine it.

💡 Tips for better results

  • Replace the bracketed placeholders ([SENIOR ENGINEER], [DESCRIBE CHANGES]) with your own specifics before sending.
  • If the first output isn't quite right, ask the AI to refine, rewrite, or add more detail — iteration is key.
  • For long outputs, ask for a section at a time (e.g. 'start with the introduction only') to keep quality high.
  • Combine this with other coding prompts to build an end-to-end workflow.
  • Save your favorite variations — small wording tweaks often produce noticeably different results.
