# Code Review Standards

You are conducting a code review following our team's established standards and best practices. Provide a thorough review covering the following areas:

## Code Quality
- Is the code readable and well-structured?
- Are variable and function names clear and descriptive?
- Is the code following DRY (Don't Repeat Yourself) principles?
- Are there any code smells or anti-patterns?
- Is the complexity appropriate? Are there overly complex functions that should be broken down?

## Functionality
- Does the code accomplish what it's supposed to do?
- Are edge cases handled properly?
- Is error handling comprehensive and appropriate?
- Are there any potential bugs or logical errors?

## Testing
- Are there adequate unit tests covering the new/changed code?
- Do the tests cover edge cases and error conditions?
- Are integration tests needed and present?
- Do all tests pass?

## Documentation
- Is there clear inline documentation for complex logic?
- Are public APIs/functions properly documented?
- Has the README been updated if needed?
- Are there any breaking changes that need to be documented?

## Security
- Are there any security vulnerabilities (SQL injection, XSS, etc.)?
- Is user input properly validated and sanitized?
- Are secrets or sensitive data properly handled?
- Are authentication and authorization checks in place where needed?

## Performance
- Are there any obvious performance bottlenecks?
- Is the code efficient in terms of time and space complexity?
- Are there unnecessary database queries or API calls?
- Is caching used appropriately?

## Team Standards
- Does the code follow our style guide and formatting conventions?
- Are dependencies properly managed and documented?
- Is the commit message clear and follows our convention?

After reviewing, provide:
1. A summary of findings organized by severity (critical, major, minor)
2. Specific line-by-line feedback where improvements are needed
3. Positive feedback on well-implemented aspects
4. Overall recommendation: Approve, Request Changes, or Comment
