VS Code Code Review Preparation: Self-Review Checklist Before Pushing
Check your own changes before others see them.
The Open buttons send the prompt text as currently shown below to that site only when you click. Fill in the placeholders first.
Help me review my own changes before I open a pull request, using VS Code. Language and project: [LANGUAGE_AND_PROJECT]. The change in a sentence: [CHANGE_SUMMARY]. The diff or a description of what changed: [DIFF_OR_DESCRIPTION]. Our team's conventions: [CONVENTIONS]. Provide a short checklist and apply it to my description; do not invent details about my code, and ask for what is missing. Checks: does the change do only one thing, are names clear, is there leftover debug code or commented-out code, are tests added or updated, are error cases handled, are secrets or personal data absent, are comments useful, and does the formatter run. Explain how to use the diff view, search for leftover debug statements, and run the tests from the editor [VERIFY menu names]. Split the change if it is larger than a reviewer can read in 30 minutes. List the three questions a reviewer is most likely to ask and how to answer them in advance, and write a pull request description of under 150 words.
