What does this change touch?
Your checklist
Correctness & scope
- The change does what the description claims - nothing more, nothing less
- Edge cases and error paths are handled (empty, null, timeout, failure)
- No dead code, debug logging, or commented-out blocks left behind
- Naming is clear; the diff reads top-to-bottom without surprises
Tests (missing)
- Confirm whether this change is genuinely testable - if so, ask for tests
- If untested by design, verify the reason is documented in the PR
- Manually reproduce the intended behavior before approving
Ship readiness
- Rollback plan is obvious if this misbehaves in production
- Observability in place - logs/metrics to confirm it works after deploy
- Commit history is clean and the PR description explains the "why"
Right-size your code review
A one-size checklist either drowns trivial PRs in ceremony or waves risky ones through. The fix is context: an auth change, a schema migration, and a copy tweak deserve very different scrutiny. This generator adds a focused block for each area a change actually touches, so reviewers spend attention where escaped defects hide.
The output is plain Markdown with checkbox items - paste it into the PR description so approvers can tick through it, or print it for a live walkthrough. Everything runs client-side; nothing leaves your browser. For the reasoning behind each item, see our code review best practices guide and the companion piece on reducing PR review time.
Checklists shape behavior, but only measurement tells you whether they work. Pair this with AI code review and PR quality analytics to see if tighter reviews actually cut rework - and try the PR quality estimator on your next change.
