Prompt Template for Understanding Code Diffs
mariofilhoml · x · 2026-07-17
This is a prompt template designed to help users understand code diffs generated by LLMs, aiming to prevent skipping code reviews due to overwhelming or incomprehensible output. The template instructs the model to explain modifications chunk-by-chunk on a **per-file X** basis, using a fixed output format: - `Lines: start–end` - `Explanation:` It is well-suited for code reviews, patch readings, or agent-assisted development workflows, helping to break down massive diffs into easily digestible, localized explanations.
