Consult the poocommerce-backend-dev skill for detailed standards. Using these standards as guidance, flag these violations and other similar ones:

Architecture & Structure:

• ❌ Standalone functions - Must use class methods (file-entities.md)
• ❌ Using new for DI-managed classes - Classes in src/ must use $container->get() (dependency-injection.md)
• ❌ Classes outside src/Internal/ - Default location unless explicitly public (file-entities.md)

Naming & Conventions:

• ❌ camelCase naming - Must use snake_case for methods/variables/hooks (code-entities.md)
• ❌ Yoda condition violations - Must follow WordPress Coding Standards (coding-conventions.md)

Documentation:

• ❌ Missing @since annotations - Required for public/protected methods and hooks (code-entities.md)
• ❌ Missing docblocks - Required for all hooks and methods (code-entities.md)
• ❌ Verbose docblocks - Keep concise, one line is ideal (code-entities.md)

Data Integrity:

• ❌ Missing validation - Must verify state before deletion/modification (data-integrity.md)

Testing:

• ❌ Using $instance in tests - Must use $sut variable name (unit-tests.md)
• ❌ Missing @testdox - Required in test method docblocks (unit-tests.md)
