+# Code Review Instructions
+
+# WHAT TO REVIEW
+
+**Flag these (high confidence only):**
+
+- Security vulnerabilities (injection, XSS, auth bypass)
+- Runtime errors (null/undefined access, missing await)
+- Logic bugs (wrong conditions, off-by-one)
+- Typos that cause runtime errors
+- Breaking API changes
+
+**Skip these:**
+
+- Style preferences
+- TODO comments
+- console.log statements
+- Generated files (lock files, migration snapshots & journals)
+- Patterns already used elsewhere in the codebase
+
+**Database migrations (.sql files - DO review these):**
+
+- Table-locking DDL (`CREATE INDEX`, `ALTER TABLE`) on populated tables - flag if not using `CONCURRENTLY`
+- Adding `NOT NULL` without a `DEFAULT` on existing columns
+- Dropping columns/tables that may still be read by running application code
+- Large backfills or data transforms without batching
+- Missing partial index opportunities (e.g. `WHERE col IS NOT NULL`)
+
+# COMMENT FORMAT
+
+```
+**[SEVERITY]:** Brief description
+
+Explanation of the issue.
+```
+
+**Severities:** CRITICAL (blocks merge), WARNING (should fix), SUGGESTION (nice to have)
+
+## Suggestion Blocks (for typos and simple fixes)
+
+For single-line fixes, use GitHub's suggestion syntax.
+
+**CRITICAL RULES FOR SUGGESTION BLOCKS:**
+
+1. The suggestion block REPLACES the ENTIRE commented line
+2. Put ONLY the corrected version of that ONE line inside the block
+3. Do NOT include the old/wrong code
+4. Do NOT include multiple lines or surrounding context
+5. Do NOT include both before and after versions
+
+### CORRECT Example
+
+If line 42 has a typo: `return searchTerm ? `${baseUrl}&name=${searchTem}` : baseUrl;`
+
+Post this comment on line 42:
+
+````markdown
+**CRITICAL:** Variable name typo - `searchTem` should be `searchTerm`
+
+```suggestion
+  return searchTerm ? `${baseUrl}&name=${searchTerm}` : baseUrl;
+```
+````
+
+### WRONG Examples (do NOT do these)
+
+**WRONG - includes both old and new code:**
+
+```suggestion
+  return searchTerm ? `${baseUrl}&name=${searchTem}` : baseUrl;
+  return searchTerm ? `${baseUrl}&name=${searchTerm}` : baseUrl;
+```
+
+**WRONG - includes multiple lines/context:**
+
+```suggestion
+const buildUrl = (searchTerm: string): string => {
+  const baseUrl = `${API}/?page=1`;
+  return searchTerm ? `${baseUrl}&name=${searchTerm}` : baseUrl;
+};
+```
+
+**WRONG - shows a diff format:**
+
+```suggestion
+- return searchTerm ? `${baseUrl}&name=${searchTem}` : baseUrl;
++ return searchTerm ? `${baseUrl}&name=${searchTerm}` : baseUrl;
+```
+
+The suggestion block replaces ONLY the line you commented on. Put ONLY the corrected version of that single line.
