# What’s a good way to ask DeepSeek to review a large pull request?

I’m considering DeepSeek for first-pass reviews of larger pull requests. The obvious issues are easy to spot, but I care more about whether a change in one file breaks an assumption somewhere else in the patch.

For people using DeepSeek on code review, what review format or prompt helps it focus on **cross-file behavior changes** rather than produce a long list of style suggestions? Do you provide the whole diff at once, or split it into related sections?
