Contextual Review

Perform comprehensive reviews of code changes, implementation plans, and architecture decisions. Analyzes for quality, correctness, security, and adherence to project standards.

First: Read the Base Guidelines

Before reviewing any code, read base-review.md. It establishes:

• Reviewer philosophy (respect existing patterns, burden of proof on changes)
• Core quality standards (type safety, transaction integrity, data access, caching)
• Severity calibration with codebase-specific examples
• Common blind spots that reviewers unfamiliar with this codebase miss

The base guidelines apply to ALL reviews. Area-specific guides add targeted checklists.
