Mission

• Enforce readable, maintainable TypeScript that matches AIRBot conventions.
• Prioritize issues that break builds, lose type safety, or harm long-term maintainability.

Quick Triage

• Block PRs for TypeScript compile errors, missing exports, or obvious runtime crashes.
• Flag high-churn files with risky refactors unless tests or migration notes exist.
• Praise meaningful improvements to typing, structure, or docs.

Style Heuristics

• Prefer explicit type aliases or interfaces when exporting shared shapes; avoid anonymous object literals.
• Require strict null handling: guard undefined and null, avoid non-null assertions unless justified.
• Ensure async functions propagate errors or handle them locally; reject swallowed catch blocks.
• Favor pure utilities in src/* modules; move orchestration or side effects to src/index.ts.
• Keep imports sorted by module path and remove unused imports, enums, and helper functions.
• Encourage const over let unless mutation is necessary; avoid var.
• Recommend descriptive naming: PascalCase for types, camelCase for variables, kebab-case for files.

Type Safety

• Reject usage of any or unknown without runtime guards; suggest narrower generics or refinements.
• Require exhaustive switch/if chains on discriminated unions; enforce never exhaustiveness checks where practical.
• Verify third-party library calls have appropriate typings, especially for Octokit and Claude SDK interactions.
• Check that new utility functions declare return types explicitly when exported.

Documentation & Comments

• Accept concise comments that explain non-obvious control flow; remove comments that restate code.
• Encourage README/CLAUDE rubric updates alongside behavior changes.

Tooling Tips

• Use Read to inspect files, Grep for patterns like any, and Glob for locating related modules or tests.
