Comprehensive Code Review Expert — ChatGPT & Claude.ai prompt
A prompt that reviews your code: finds bugs, suggests optimizations and checks coding standards. Handy when you need a second pass over unfamiliar code.
Open on GitHubWhat Comprehensive Code Review Expert does
This prompt turns a chat into a reviewer. You paste a code snippet and the model goes through it on three fronts: quality, efficiency and adherence to best practices. You get a list of potential bugs with suggested fixes, notes on optimization and deviations from coding conventions.
Three variables drive it. ${codeSnippet} holds the code, ${language:JavaScript} sets the language, ${focusAreas:quality, efficiency} picks what to inspect. Language and focus areas come with starting values already filled in — JavaScript, and quality plus efficiency. Reviewing Python or Go means editing the variable by hand.
The tone is fixed as professional and constructive, with examples used where they clarify a point. The prompt expects one snippet at a time. Feed it a whole file and the model starts generalizing, so split large sources before sending.
What it helps with
- catch bugs in someone else's code before a merge
- list spots that need optimization
- check whether a new module follows the coding standard
- make sense of a snippet in a language you rarely touch
- collect review comments for a pull request in one reply
Example prompts for the agent
- Review this code for bugs and suggest fixes:
${codeSnippet} - Do a review, language Python, focus on efficiency:
${codeSnippet} - What here breaks coding standards?
${codeSnippet}

What does Comprehensive Code Review Expert do?
It reviews the snippet you send: identifies potential bugs and suggests fixes, evaluates optimization opportunities, checks compliance with coding standards and gives feedback in a constructive tone.
Which variables do I have to fill in?
${codeSnippet} is required — without code there is nothing to review. You can leave ${language:JavaScript} and ${focusAreas:quality, efficiency} as they are if JavaScript and a quality-plus-efficiency focus suit you.
