Below is how to structure AI code review across four categories: correctness, security, performance, readability. Priority is in exactly that order. For each category: a checklist, an LLM prompt, and real finding examples. At the end — CI pipeline integration. Why Category Order Matters A typical code review starts at the surface.

A fixed order solves this problem: Correctness — does the code do what it claims? Are edge cases handled? Security — any injections, data leaks, or authorization issues?…
