Programming guide

Review and test AI-generated code before using it

Check AI-written code for correctness, security and fit with your project, then test it properly before it goes anywhere near real users or data.

Estimated time: 20–60 minutesUpdated: 28 September 2026

Use this guide every time an AI assistant gives you code to add to a project. Have the code, your project open in an editor, a way to run it locally and version control set up so you can undo changes.

Step by step

  1. Read it before running it

    Read through the code line by line and make sure you understand what each part does. Ask the AI to explain any section you do not follow. Be especially careful with code that deletes files, changes databases or sends data elsewhere.
