The Shape of Generated Code, Vol. 1: The Reviewer's Kit
The Reviewer's Kit: A Practical Method to Review AI-Generated Code
AI-assisted code often looks finished while resting on a premise nobody checked. A practical, evidence-based method for developers, tech leads and architects to find system-level defects before they ship.
About
About the Book
AI coding assistants produce code that compiles, passes its tests and reads well. The defects that matter are rarely in the lines you are shown — they sit in what is absent, in aggregates nobody bounded, and in premises nobody stated.
The Reviewer's Kit is a practical method for reviewing that code at system level:
- A repeatable reconnaissance pass (census.sh, fully listed in the book) that points review time where it pays.
- An evidence model on four axes — method, observed result, confidence, status — so every finding says what was actually verified.
- Techniques for the recurring shapes: identity premises, client-only limits, IDOR/ownership, unbounded reads, duplicated rules, error text used as control flow, guards after side effects, missing controls and contract drift.
- Webhooks done right: authenticity, replay, idempotency, per-provider redelivery and reconciliation.
- A complete, anonymised worked case, a plan to turn findings into fixes, and agent rules you can paste into your coding assistant.
- Exercises with an answer key and two sample reports.
For mid-level and senior backend developers, tech leads and architects comfortable with C#, TypeScript/Node or Python. Not a pentest or certification — a method that makes review evidence explicit.
Packages: The Book ($12) — the ebook in PDF and EPUB. Book + Correction Prompts ($19) — adds 36 ready-to-use prompts (investigate, fix + test, verify) for every finding class. Complete Kit ($29) — adds the full reviewer's toolkit: scripts, checklist, templates and prompts.
