Inline comments:
In @.coderabbit.yaml:
- Around line 217-220: The glob pattern "**/*.{py}" uses redundant
single-element brace expansion; update the pattern string used in the YAML (the
value currently set to "**/*.{py}") to a simpler equivalent "**/*.py" wherever
it appears so the Python file matching is clearer and consistent (look for the
pattern value in the YAML mapping under the Python instructions).
- Around line 170-173: The "Ensure that 'use client' is being used" rule is too
broad when applied to path "**/*.{ts,tsx,js,jsx}"; narrow the target so it only
checks actual Next.js client components (for example change the path to
something like "app/**/*.{tsx,jsx}" or "components/**/*.{tsx,jsx}") and exclude
server-only files (api routes, utils, scripts, tests) by adding explicit exclude
globs or separate rules for server-side patterns; update the rule block in
.coderabbit.yaml (the instructions entry that currently targets
"**/*.{ts,tsx,js,jsx}") to limit scanning to client component locations or add
an allowlist/exclude to avoid false positives.
- Around line 67-68: The inline note saying "just leave comments" is misleading
because request_changes_workflow: true actually posts GitHub "Request Changes"
reviews (which can block merges when combined with error pre-merge checks) and
interacts with the assertive profile; so either change request_changes_workflow
to false if you want advisory-only behavior, or update the comment next to the
request_changes_workflow setting to accurately state that enabling it will
submit formal "Request Changes" reviews and may block PRs when error-mode checks
or assertive behavior are enabled.
- Around line 259-271: The glob pattern "**/*.test.{sol}" does not match
Foundry-style Solidity tests; replace that entry so it matches files like
"Counter.t.sol" (e.g., change the pattern to "**/*.t.sol" or add a pattern for
"**/*.t.sol" instead of "**/*.test.{sol}") so Foundry test files are picked up;
update the pattern string in the .coderabbit.yaml section that currently
contains "**/*.test.{sol}".
- Around line 153-165: The YAML has an invalid top-level key
reviews.instructions which will be ignored; move that freestanding instructions
string into a catch-all entry under reviews.path_instructions (e.g., add a path:
"**" entry with the instructions text) so the directives are applied globally,
and remove or scope the line that discourages "NatSpec" to non-Solidity paths
(or delete that discouragement) so NatSpec remains allowed for .sol files;
reference the reviews.instructions key, reviews.path_instructions section, and
the NatSpec/.sol guidance when making the change.

Misleading comment — request_changes_workflow: true does more than "just leave comments"
The inline comment contradicts the setting's actual effect. With request_changes_workflow: true, CodeRabbit submits GitHub's formal "Request Changes" review status on PRs with open issues — not just passive comments. If the request-changes workflow is enabled, error mode pre-merge checks can block the PR until the check passes. More broadly, this also means CodeRabbit will auto-approve only once all its own comments are resolved. Combined with the assertive profile, this can become an aggressive gate on every PR.
If the intent is just to post advisory comments without gating merges, set this to false (the default).
⚙️ Suggested correction
- # Automatically request changes on the PR (just leave comments)
- request_changes_workflow: true
+ # Enables GitHub "Request Changes" status; CodeRabbit will block merges until its comments are resolved.
+ # Set to false if you only want advisory comments without blocking merges.
+ request_changes_workflow: false📝 Committable suggestion
‼️ IMPORTANT
Carefully review the code before committing. Ensure that it accurately replaces the highlighted code, contains no missing lines, and has no issues with indentation. Thoroughly test & benchmark the code to ensure it meets the requirements.

CodeRabbit coderabbit.yaml schema v2 reviews.instructions field specification
💡 Result:
reviews.instructions is not a valid field in CodeRabbit’s .coderabbit.yaml schema v2 (it does not exist under the reviews object in schema.v2.json).[1][2]
To provide “review instructions” in schema v2, use one of these instead:
- Path-based review instructions:
reviews.path_instructions— an array of objects with:path(string; glob pattern, e.g.**/*.ts)instructions(string;maxLength: 20000)- Default:
[][1][3]
Example:
reviews:
path_instructions:
- path: "**/*.py"
instructions: "Prefer type hints; flag any public function without docstrings."- Global tone guidance (not review-only):
tone_instructions(string;maxLength: 250).[1]
🌐 Web query:
CodeRabbit path_instructions catch-all pattern **/* global instructions
💡 Result:
To apply global (catch‑all) path_instructions in CodeRabbit, use a minimatch glob that matches the whole repo, e.g. **/* (or **). CodeRabbit’s path_instructions.path uses minimatch glob patterns. [1]
Example:
reviews:
path_instructions:
- path: "**/*"
instructions: |
Global review rules for all files (then add more specific rules below).
- path: "**/*.js"
instructions: |
JS-specific rules...Notes:
**is minimatch “globstar” (matches across directories). [2]- Minimatch patterns like
**/*typically don’t match dotfiles/dirs unless you explicitly pattern them (eg**/.*) or the matcher enables thedotoption. [2]

NatSpec Solidity EIP standard documentation format
💡 Result:
Solidity NatSpec (Natural Language Specification Format)
NatSpec is a comment/tag format used in Solidity source to generate user docs and developer docs. Use either /// per line or /** ... */ blocks above contracts/functions/events/etc. (docs.soliditylang.org)
Common tags (all optional): @title, @author, @notice (end-user), @dev (developer), @param <name>, @return <name>, @inheritdoc <BaseContract>, and tool-specific tags via @custom:<name>. (docs.soliditylang.org)
Example:
/// `@title` Simple Vault
/// `@notice` Stores ETH and lets users withdraw.
/// `@dev` For integrators: emits Withdraw on success.
contract Vault {
/// `@notice` Withdraw `amount` wei to the caller.
/// `@param` amount Amount of wei to withdraw.
/// `@return` ok True if the withdrawal succeeded.
function withdraw(uint256 amount) external returns (bool ok) { ... }
}EIP “standard documentation format” (how EIPs are written)
EIPs themselves follow EIP-1’s Markdown template: a YAML-like header “preamble” (--- … ---) with fields like eip, title, description, author, status, type, etc., followed by sections such as Abstract, Motivation (optional), and Specification. (eips.ethereum.org)

reviews.instructions is not a valid schema key — these global instructions will be silently ignored
The reviews object in the CodeRabbit schema v2 has additionalProperties: false, and there is no top-level instructions property defined under reviews. Path-based instructions are configured in the .coderabbit.yaml file under the reviews.path_instructions section; each instruction consists of a path glob and an instructions string. A freestanding reviews.instructions key is unrecognised and will be dropped without error.
To apply instructions globally, add a catch-all entry inside reviews.path_instructions:

NatSpec is the standard documentation format for Solidity contracts and should not be discouraged for .sol files.

"Ensure that use client is being used" is too broad for all TS/JS files
This instruction applies to **/*.{ts,tsx,js,jsx}, which includes Next.js server components, API routes (app/api/…), utility libraries, Node.js scripts, and test files — none of which should carry use client. Blanket enforcement will generate false-positive warnings on every non-client file.
💡 Suggested tightening
- - Ensure that "use client" is being used
- - Ensure that only features that allow pure client-side rendering are used
+ - For React component files intended as client components, verify "use client" is declared where needed.
+ - Server components, API routes, and utility modules should NOT use "use client".
+ - Ensure client-side APIs (window, document, localStorage) are not used in server components.🤖 Prompt for AI Agents

Redundant single-element brace expansion in Python glob
"**/*.{py}" is equivalent to "**/*.py"; the curly braces serve no purpose with a single extension.

Correct the Solidity test file glob pattern to match actual test file naming conventions
The pattern **/*.test.{sol} will not match real Solidity test files. Foundry, the dominant Solidity testing framework, uses the .t.sol suffix (e.g., Counter.t.sol), while Hardhat tests are written in JavaScript/TypeScript and are already covered by the **/*.test.{ts,tsx,js,jsx} entry.
