description: Use after completing meaningful implementation work in Cursor and before merging or declaring the change ready, so the result gets a focused review for bugs, regressions, and maintainability risks.

Requesting Code Review

Goal

Ask for a focused review at the right time, with the right scope.

When To Use

• After finishing a substantial feature or bug fix
• Before merging or creating a pull request
• After a risky refactor
• When local changes affect behavior, API contracts, or UI flows

How To Ask

Provide:

• what changed
• which files or diff should be reviewed
• what behavior matters most
• any specific concerns such as accessibility, regressions, or edge cases

Good Prompt Shape

• "Review the changed files for real bugs and regressions."
• "Review this branch diff and focus on API behavior and edge cases."
• "Review this UI change for accessibility and misleading interaction states."

After Review

• Fix high-severity issues first.
• Clarify or push back when a suggestion does not fit the codebase.
• Re-run relevant verification before declaring the work ready.
