Diff Risk Review
A second pair of eyes on your uncommitted changes. No signup required.
Prerequisites
- None. Pure Claude Code — works in any git repo, no MCP required.
Trigger
- "Review my diff"
- "Risk-review these changes before I commit"
- "Anything wrong with what I just changed?"
Workflow
- Get the changes:
- Uncommitted:
git diff and git diff --staged
- Branch vs base:
git diff origin/main...HEAD (or the repo's default branch)
- For each changed hunk, review against the checklist below. Only report real findings —
do not pad. If a hunk is clean, say so.
What to look for
Correctness
- Off-by-one, inverted conditions, wrong operator (
= vs ==, && vs ||)
- Null/undefined deref on newly accessed fields
- Changed function signature with un-updated callers
- Async: missing
await, unhandled rejection, race on shared state
Security
- User input flowing into SQL, shell,
eval, file paths, or HTML without sanitization
- New secrets/tokens hardcoded (defer deep scans to
secret-scan)
- AuthZ: new route/handler missing an ownership or permission check
- Logging that now prints tokens, passwords, or PII
Performance
- New N+1 query or loop-with-IO
- Unbounded fetch/allocation on user-controlled size
- Work moved onto a hot path or request thread
Rank findings: BLOCKER (will break / is exploitable) · WARNING (likely bug or risk)
· NIT (style/clarity). Cite file:line.
Output:
## Diff Risk Review — 3 files, +84 / -12
**1 blocker, 2 warnings, 1 nit**
### BLOCKER
- `auth/routes.py:142` — new `GET /api/runs/{id}` returns the run without
checking `run.user_id == current_user.id`. BOLA: any user can read any run.
Fix: add the ownership guard before serializing.
### WARNING
- `services/sync.py:88` — `await` missing on `flush_cache()`; the cache write
races the response. Add `await`.
- `repositories/user.py:51` — loops issuing one query per id (N+1). Batch
with a single `WHERE id = ANY(...)`.
### NIT
- `utils/format.py:12` — dead `import json`, no longer used.
