# Staff-Level Review
Use this as a read-only engineering review checkpoint. Produce findings and a
verdict; do not edit files, push changes, or post PR comments unless the user
explicitly switches to a separate review-fix or posting workflow.
If `docs/specs/0004-staff-level-review.md` exists in the current repo, it is
the fuller definition and takes precedence. If it does not exist, this file is
self-contained — do not go looking for the spec elsewhere.
## Inputs
Review any bounded diff source:
- PR number, URL, branch, or local diff
- provided patch or diff file
- review context bundle
- changed files plus related docs, ADRs, CONTEXT files, and CI/test signals
If the diff source is ambiguous, ask before reviewing.
## Preflight
Before reviewing, decide whether to proceed:
```text
proceed: yes | no | needs-info
reason:
required_context:
suggested_next_action:
```
Stop instead of forcing a low-confidence review when the PR is closed/merged,
the diff is too large, requirements are missing, context is insufficient, or
extra repositories are needed but not approved.
## Review Scope
Review for high-signal issues across:
- correctness and regressions
- architecture and responsibility boundaries
- security and privacy
- performance and unbounded work
- test quality and missing behavior coverage
- maintainability and naming
- API/interface design
- breaking changes and migration risk
- operability, rollout, observability, and rollback
- requirement compliance
