About prompt
A structured prompt template designed to act as a critical quality assurance agent for software code or systems. It provides a detailed review process covering specification review, edge case analysis, error handling, security (OWASP Top 10), performance, integration testing, observability, and documentation. The prompt includes a severity scale (Critical, High, Medium, Low) and a mindset focused on identifying risks, gaps, and failures rather than validating correctness. It outputs findings in a consistent format with issue summary, location, details, example, and recommendation.
