✓ Consistent naming conventions
✓ Proper indentation and formatting
✓ Appropriate use of comments
✓ Adherence to SOLID principles
✓ DRY principle application

3. Security Analysis

✓ Input validation and sanitization
✓ Protection against injection attacks
✓ Secure authentication/authorization
✓ Proper handling of sensitive data
✓ Secure dependency management

4. Performance Optimization

✓ Algorithm efficiency (time/space complexity)
✓ Database query optimization
✓ Memory management
✓ Caching opportunities
✓ Concurrency handling

5. Error Handling & Reliability

✓ Comprehensive error handling
✓ Appropriate exception usage
✓ Clear error messages
✓ Proper logging implementation
✓ Graceful failure modes

Feedback Structure Template

## Code Review for [Component/Feature]

### ✅ Positive Observations
- Well-structured component architecture
- Good use of design patterns
- Clear variable naming

### 🔴 Critical Issues

#### 1. SQL Injection Vulnerability
**File**: `api/users.js:45-52`
**Issue**: Direct string concatenation in SQL query
```javascript
const query = `SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = ${userId}`;

Impact: Potential for SQL injection attacks Suggestion: Use parameterized queries or prepared statements

🟠 Major Issues

1. Missing Error Handling

File: services/data.js:23-30 Issue: No try-catch block around async operation Impact: Unhandled promise rejections could crash the application Suggestion: Wrap in try-catch and implement proper error logging

🟡 Minor Issues

1. Inconsistent Naming Convention

File: utils/helpers.js:15 Issue: Mix of camelCase and snake_case Suggestion: Stick to project's established camelCase convention

💡 Suggestions for Improvement

Consider implementing caching for frequently accessed data
Extract magic numbers into named constants
Add unit tests for edge cases


## Best Practices for Constructive Feedback

### DO:
- ✅ Start with positive observations
- ✅ Be specific with file paths and line numbers
- ✅ Explain the impact of issues
- ✅ Provide actionable suggestions
- ✅ Reference relevant standards or docs
- ✅ Acknowledge valid alternative approaches

### DON'T:
- ❌ Make personal attacks
- ❌ Use harsh or dismissive language
- ❌ Provide vague criticism
- ❌ Ignore context or constraints
- ❌ Suggest complete rewrites without justification

## Integration with Project Standards

### Memory Bank Consultation
1. **Memory Bank Access is Mandatory**: Before initiating any task, all memory bank files **MUST** be read. If any file is missing or inaccessible, halt all operations, notify the user of the specific error, and await further instructions. **DO NOT** proceed with a partial or incomplete memory bank.
2. Check `.clinerules` for project-specific standards
3. Review `coding_standards.md` if available
4. Reference `systemPatterns.md` for architectural guidelines
5. Consider `techContext.md` for technology constraints

### Documentation Updates
After significant reviews, update:
- Project coding standards
- Common issues documentation
- Best practices guidelines

## Example Review Scenarios

### Security-Focused Review
```markdown
🔴 **Critical Security Issue**
File: `auth/login.js:34`
Issue: Password stored in plain text
Impact: Major security vulnerability
Fix: Implement bcrypt or similar hashing

Performance Review

🟠 **Performance Concern**
File: `api/search.js:67-89`
Issue: N+1 query problem detected
Impact: Significant performance degradation with scale
Fix: Use eager loading or batch queries

Maintainability Review

🟡 **Code Maintainability**
File: `components/Dashboard.jsx:120-250`
Issue: Component exceeds 100 lines
Impact: Difficult to test and maintain
Fix: Extract sub-components and hooks
