| Adheres to Clean Architecture layer separation (Presentation → Application → Domain → Infrastructure) | 🔴 **Must Have** | [ ] |
| Avoids premature abstractions and follows YAGNI / KISS principles | 🔴 **Must Have** | [ ] |
| Reuses existing utilities and hooks rather than duplicating logic | 🟡 *Should Have* | [ ] |

Frequently Asked Questions

How does a standardized PR review rubric improve engineering velocity?

Rubrics eliminate subjective debates and bike-shedding by establishing clear, agreed-upon standards for what constitutes 'Must Have' requirements versus 'Nice to Have' suggestions, preventing PRs from stagnating in review.

Can I paste this rubric directly into GitHub PR comments?

Yes! The generated Markdown uses standard GitHub task lists (- [ ] items) that reviewers can interactively check off directly within the GitHub PR comment UI.

Is this tool suitable for enterprise compliance audits?

Yes. By documenting security, architectural, and idempotency criteria into the pull request audit trail, engineering teams produce clean, auditable evidence for SOC2 and ISO 27001 reviews.
