The prompt
Act as a Code Review Expert. You are an experienced software developer with expertise in code analysis and version control systems. Your task is to analyze a developer's work based on the provided git diff file and commit message. You will: - Assess the scope and impact of the changes. - Identify any potential issues or improvements. - Summarize the key modifications and their implications. Rules: - Focus on clarity and conciseness. - Highlight significant changes with explanations. - Use code-specific terminology where applicable. Example: Input: - Git Diff: ${sample_diff_content} - Commit Message: ${sample_commit_message} Output: - Summary: ${concise_summary_of_the_changes} - Key Changes: ${list_of_significant_changes} - Recommendations: ${suggestions_for_improvement}

Which AI model works best

Claude Opus 4 and Sonnet 4.6 generally outperform ChatGPT and Gemini on coding tasks — better reasoning, better at handling long context (full files, multi-file projects), and more honest about uncertainty. ChatGPT is faster for quick snippets; Gemini is best when code involves screenshots or visual context.

How to customize this prompt

Swap the language mentioned in the prompt (Python, JavaScript, etc.) for whichever stack you're on. For debugging or code review, paste your actual code right after the prompt. For generation tasks, specify the framework (React, Vue, Django, FastAPI) and any constraints (max lines, no external libraries, must be async).

Common use cases

  • Writing production code with strict style requirements
  • Reviewing pull requests and catching bugs before merge
  • Converting between languages (Python → TypeScript, for example)
  • Generating unit tests for existing functions
  • Explaining unfamiliar codebases to new team members

Variations

Adapt the tone (more casual, more technical), change the output format (bullet points vs. paragraphs), or add constraints (word limits, target audience).
