Lesson 3 of 8 · AI Code Review That Catches Real Issues
In this lesson. Never paste secrets; ask for OWASP-ish checks you then verify.
What you will learn
- Redaction
- Leads not gospel
- Verify
Walkthrough
You will redact, use private models if required, and treat security comments as leads. AI will both miss vulns and invent them. You verify. This lesson is hygiene plus skepticism.
Work through the ideas in order. After each point, pause and connect it to a task you already do — a document, a workflow, or a feature you own. The goal of AI Code Review That Catches Real Issues is usable skill, not a pile of notes.
If something is unclear, rewrite it in your own words before you continue. Teaching the step back to yourself is the fastest way to see gaps.
Practice
Make a redaction checklist for diffs you would send to a model.
Keep the first attempt small. A finished example you can reuse beats a perfect plan you never run.
