Why should an AI-generated code review pass on a pull request not be treated as sufficient sign-off on its own, without human review?
💻 Code Challenge | +75 XP
Write a configured AI review prompt that references a team-specific checklist, focuses feedback on correctness/security/architecture rather than style, and requests specific suggested fixes for any issue found.
A team's AI-assisted PR reviews were generating so many minor stylistic comments that reviewers started ignoring the review output entirely, missing a genuinely important security issue flagged among the noise. Reorder the steps to fix the review process.
Task: Reorder the blocks in logical sequence to solve the problem.

The Error //
Treating an AI-generated code review as sufficient approval for a pull request without human review
// Wrong: AI review treated as sufficient sign-off alone
// Correct: AI review as one input, human approval as the required gate
requiredApprovals: 1 // human, regardless of AI review outcomeThe Solution //
An AI reviewer working from a diff typically lacks the broader context needed to judge whether a change actually solves the stated problem, fits the system's intended direction, or contains a subtle domain-specific business logic error — judgments requiring human review remain a necessary, non-optional gate.
The Error //
Configuring AI review with no focus, resulting in excessive minor stylistic comments burying genuinely important issues
// Generates excessive noise, buries what matters
"Review this PR" (no focus specified)
// Correct: tuned toward genuinely significant issues
"Focus on correctness, security, and architecture — skip
stylistic issues already enforced by our linter"The Solution //
A review flooded with minor nitpicks (many already enforced automatically by a linter) makes it harder for a human reviewer to notice the few genuinely significant comments among the noise, reducing the review's actual usefulness. Tune the review's focus toward correctness, security, and architectural concerns.
