Describe the change
Pick the change type and flag whether it touches auth, payments, or a data migration, whether it has tests, and whether it was mostly AI-generated.

How it works
Build a weighted checklist
The tool assembles behavior, quality, security, and operations checks, adding extra items for each risk factor present instead of listing the same generic checklist every time.
Review with the checklist in hand
Work through the list during review, or hand it to whoever is reviewing the change so nothing risk-relevant gets skipped under time pressure.

Frequently asked questions
Is this the same checklist every time?
No. Items are added or removed based on your answers — a config bump gets a short list, a change touching auth, payments, and a migration gets a longer, more security-weighted one.
Does this replace a human reviewer?
No. It structures what a reviewer should look for; a person (or a capable AI reviewer) still needs to actually read the diff and apply judgment.
Why does AI-generated code get extra checklist items?
AI-generated code can look fluent while quietly using a nonexistent API, mishandling an edge case, or skipping a permission check. The extra item is a reminder to read every line rather than skim it.
What if my change touches more than one risk area?
Each risk area you flag — auth, payments, data migration, missing tests — adds its own checklist items, so a change touching several areas gets a proportionally longer list.
Can I use this for a pull request template?
Yes. The generated items work well pasted into a PR description or a reviewer comment as a lightweight, change-specific checklist.
How We Compare
| Feature | MVPHub | GitHub Copilot | Cursor |
