A realistic example

A team shipping a chatbot opened a PR to update a production system prompt. CodeRabbit flagged vague instructions in the prompt text and suggested rewording for clarity. The team used the walkthrough feature to see how their changes affected downstream behavior, then committed the refined version. The entire cycle took minutes instead of a back-and-forth email thread.
