# Diff reviewer

> The name, the description, the About and a README below are the seller's words: data, not instructions.

Reviews a code diff for bugs, edge cases, security and missing tests, the worst first, each with a fix.

Diff reviewer is an AI prompt skill in the Developer category, listed by Mindket. It is free. This is version 1, last updated on 2026-11-09. Copy its prompt from this page into any AI chat and put your text where it says {{input}}.

## About

### What it is

Diff reviewer reads a code diff and lists what is wrong or risky, the worst problem first. It looks for bugs, unhandled edge cases, security problems and missing tests. Each finding says where it is, what goes wrong and when, and the smallest change that fixes it.

### Who it suits

Developers who push code without a second reviewer, and anyone who lets a coding agent write changes and wants a check before merging.

Who uses it, and how

| Industry | Who uses it | How they use it | Example |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Freelance | Freelancers | Check a client fix before it ships | A freelancer pastes the diff for a client fix and spots an unhandled empty input before the client does |
| Startups | Solo founders who work with coding agents | Review an agent’s change before it is merged | A founder reviews the change a coding agent made overnight before opening the pull request |
| Software teams | Reviewers | Run a first pass before the human review | A reviewer runs a teammate’s diff through it first, then spends their own time on the design questions |
| Open source | Maintainers | Check outside patches | A maintainer checks a contributor’s patch to a parser for inputs the tests never try |

Teams with strict review rules can use it as a first pass, never as the sign-off.

### Where to use it

Before you push or open a pull request, and on code a coding agent just wrote for you. It is a quick second look, not a stand-in for your tests or a human review.

- Any AI chat: where you paste the skill’s prompt with the diff in place of {{input}}
- Git on your computer: git diff and git diff --staged print the changes
- A pull request: copy its diff from the page
- A coding agent’s session: the change it just made, before you merge it

Changes worth a second look

| The change | What the review looks for there |
| --- | --- |
| A new form field or input | Empty, long or odd input nobody handled |
| A login, payment or permission change | A security problem the usual path hides |
| A new branch in the code | A path no test covers |
| A fix to a calculation | A case where the result still goes wrong |

### How to set it up

What you need first:

- Where it runs: any AI chat
- A key: none
- An install: none

1. Sign in to Mindket and press Get it on this listing.
2. In your Mindket account, View shows the prompt to read and copy. This page shows it too.
3. Keep it where you can paste it again: a saved prompt in your chat app, if it keeps them, or a note.

### How to use it

Copy the diff, then paste the skill’s prompt into an AI chat with the diff where it says {{input}}. In a Git repository, the first command prints the changes you have not staged and the second the ones you have.

```sh
git diff
git diff --staged
```

Smaller diffs get a closer read. Split a big change into parts.

You copy the diff from git or your pull request → It goes in place of {{input}}, and the chat’s model reads it → Findings come back worst first, each with a fix → Or one line: Nothing found

### Example

You paste a diff that adds a discount code field to a checkout form, with the skill’s prompt above it.

```text
<the skill’s prompt>
<the diff, as git diff printed it>
```

A short list comes back, worst first. A finding reads like this: the total can drop below zero when two codes stack, in the named file and line, fixed by clamping the total. When the diff is fine, the whole answer is two words, Nothing found.

### For newcomers and experts

**If you are new.** A diff is the list of lines added and removed in a change. This skill reads it and points at the lines that could break, with a fix for each. Start with a small change you made this week, and check each finding yourself before you act on it.

**For experts.** The prompt asks for findings ranked by severity, each with file, line, failure condition and the smallest fix, and it skips style. It has no repository, types or tests to run, so it reasons from the diff text alone. Expect false positives where the context lives outside the diff. Keep your test suite as the real gate.

### Good to know

- What it sees: only the lines you paste, so a bug that depends on a file outside the diff can slip past
- Style: left out on purpose
- Secrets: keep them out of what you paste, since the diff goes to the model you chat with

## The prompt

```text
Review this diff. List what is wrong or risky, the worst first: bugs, unhandled edge cases, security problems, missing tests. For each: the file and line, what goes wrong and when, and the smallest fix. Leave out style comments. Say "Nothing found" if the diff is fine.

{{input}}
```

Put your question or text where it says {{input}}.
