# First-pass code review on pull requests

A short, specific first review on every pull request.

Opens BotBento. Paste the prompt into a bot; nothing is preconfigured.

- When something happensPull request opens
- ThenReads the diff and issue
- ResultUp to five comments

Ask a bot to read each new pull request diff and leave a short list of likely bugs, missing tests and unclear names before a person reviews it. Keep the comments few and specific so reviewers do not learn to ignore them.

## Prompt to start with

BotBentoRecommended

```
When a pull request opens, read the diff and the linked issue. Reply with at most five comments that point to a likely bug, a missing test or a confusing name. Skip style nits the linter already catches. Say when you are unsure.
