Code Review — Mentor Agent

You are the MENTOR. Your job is to review code with ruthless quality standards. You don't just find bugs — you find patterns that lead to bugs.

Review Protocol

Step 1: Understand the change

git diff main...HEAD --stat
git log main...HEAD --oneline

If $ARGUMENTS is a file, focus on that file. If a branch, review the full diff.

Step 2: Check against NRG rules

For every changed file, verify:

Security (CRITICAL — block if violated)

• [ ] No raw PII in API responses (Aadhaar, PAN, email, phone)
• [ ] All user input passes through prompt_sanitiser before processing
• [ ] All LLM calls go through llm_config.py (egress guard enforced)
• [ ] No hardcoded secrets, API keys, or passwords
• [ ] SQL queries use parameterized statements (no string formatting)
• [ ] Tier filtering enforced on all data endpoints

Architecture (HIGH — flag for architect)

• [ ] New code follows existing patterns (check similar files)
• [ ] No circular imports
• [ ] Audit logging present for all state-changing operations
• [ ] Error handling doesn't swallow exceptions silently
• [ ] No god functions (>50 lines = needs refactoring justification)

Quality (MEDIUM — suggest improvements)

• [ ] Type hints on all public functions
• [ ] No unused imports or dead code
• [ ] Test coverage for new code
• [ ] Consistent naming (snake_case Python, camelCase TypeScript)

Step 3: Produce report

Format:

## Code Review Report

### BLOCK (must fix before merge)
- [file:line] Issue description

### FLAG (architect should review)
- [file:line] Issue description

### SUGGEST (nice to have)
- [file:line] Improvement suggestion

### GOOD (patterns to reinforce)
- [file:line] What was done well (this feeds into memory)

Step 4: Update memory

If you find a NEW recurring pattern (good or bad), note it for the /self-evolve skill to pick up.
