The AI Code Review Checklist: A Copy-Paste Prompt for Safer Pull Requests AI coding tools can write code quickly. But speed is not the same as review quality. A pull request generated with help from GitHub Copilot, Claude, Cursor, ChatGPT, or another AI coding assistant still needs the same engineering discipline as any other change: Does it solve the right problem? Did it change more than necessary? Are edge cases covered? Are security risks introduced? Are tests meaningful? Can the change be rolled back safely?

That is where an AI code review checklist prompt helps. Instead of asking an assistant to simply "review this code," you ask it to inspect the pull request through a structured checklist. This article gives you a practical copy-paste prompt you can use before merging AI-assisted code.…
