PR Self-Review

Review your own diff like a senior reviewer, fix issues, and repeat for three passes before opening the PR.

by Trooper

Kickoff prompt
Start the "PR Self-Review" loop.

Goal: three clean self-review passes on the current diff
Max iterations: 3
Between iterations run: git diff main...HEAD
Exit when: three passes complete with no critical findings

Step 1: Review the diff like a senior reviewer. Fix findings, then re-review.

Self-pace this loop. After each iteration, run the check command, read the output, and only continue if the exit condition is not met. Stop when the exit condition passes or max iterations is reached. Give a short status update each pass.

Paste the kickoff prompt into Cursor, Claude Code, or Codex. Deeplinks do not install hook files.

Steps

1. Review diff

Read the diff like a senior reviewer — correctness, edge cases, naming, tests.

2. Fix findings

Address critical and high findings before the next pass.

3. Re-review

Run another pass on the updated diff.

Guardrails

Rules the agent must follow so it cannot cheat the exit condition.

  • Do not rubber-stamp the diff to hit the iteration count
  • Report critical findings honestly even on the final pass
