# Path-specific review instructions
path_instructions:
# API layer
-
path:
"src/api/**"
instructions:
|
Review for:
- Input validation on all request parameters
- Proper HTTP status codes (don't use 200 for errors)
- Auth middleware applied to protected routes
- Error response format (consistent structure)
- Rate limiting on public endpoints
Flag: missing error handling, unvalidated input, SQL injection
# Database layer
-
path:
"src/db/**"
instructions:
|
Review for:
- Parameterized queries (no string concatenation in SQL)
- Transaction boundaries on multi-table mutations
- Connection cleanup (no connection leaks)
- Index usage for complex queries
Flag: N+1 query patterns, raw SQL with user input
# Authentication
-
path:
"src/auth/**"
instructions:
|
SECURITY-CRITICAL. Review for:
- Password hashing (bcrypt/argon2 only, never MD5/SHA)
- Token expiry configuration
- Session management and fixation prevention
- CSRF protection on state-changing operations
- Brute force protection
|
Review for:
- Assertion completeness (not just checking status codes)
- Edge case coverage (null, empty, boundary values)
- Proper async handling (await, done callbacks)
- Test isolation (no shared mutable state)
Do NOT comment on: test naming conventions, import order
# CI/CD pipelines
-
path:
".github/workflows/**"
instructions:
|
Review for:
- Pin action versions to SHA commit hash (not tags)
- No secrets in step names, echo, or log output
- timeout-minutes on all jobs
- Use OIDC for cloud provider auth
- Minimal permissions on GITHUB_TOKEN
# Infrastructure
-
path:
"**/*.tf"
instructions:
|
Review for:
- No hardcoded credentials or keys
- Encryption enabled on storage and databases
- Security groups: no 0.0.0.0/0 ingress except 443
- IAM: least privilege, no wildcard actions

Step 2: Project-Specific Templates
Node.js/TypeScript Backend:
# Add to path_instructions:-path:"src/middleware/**"instructions:"Review for proper error propagation, request/response typing."-path:"src/services/**"instructions:"Review for dependency injection, proper error handling, testability."-path:"prisma/migrations/**"instructions:"Verify: backward compatibility, rollback safety, no data loss."
React/Next.js Frontend:
# Add to path_instructions:-path:"src/hooks/**"instructions:"Review for: cleanup in useEffect, dependency arrays, race conditions."-path:"src/pages/**"instructions:"Review for: SSR/SSG correctness, SEO meta tags, performance."-path:"src/lib/**"instructions:"Review for: tree-shaking friendly exports, no side effects."
Python/Django Backend:
# Add to path_instructions:-path:"**/*.py"instructions:|
Review for: type hints, proper exception handling, no mutable default args.
Check: context manager usage, proper async patterns.
-path:"**/models.py"instructions:"Review for: index definitions, migration compatibility, field validation."-path:"**/views.py"instructions:"Review for: permission classes, serializer validation, query optimization."
Step 3: CI Pipeline Integration

jobs:# Your existing CI checkstest:runs-on:ubuntu-lateststeps:-uses:actions/checkout@v4-run:npmci-run:npmtest# CodeRabbit review gate (optional)coderabbit-gate:runs-on:ubuntu-latestif:github.event.action=='opened'steps:-name:CodeRabbitreviewexpecteduses:actions/github-script@v7with:script:|
core.info('CodeRabbit will review this PR automatically.');
core.info('Reviews typically post within 2-5 minutes.');
Step 4: Team Onboarding Document
# CodeRabbit Quick Reference for Developers## What happens when you open a PR:1. CodeRabbit reviews automatically (2-5 min)
2. Posts a walkthrough summary comment
3. Adds line-level suggestions
4. Sets review state (Approved / Changes Requested)
## Commands (post in any PR comment):
@coderabbitai full review - Re-review all files
@coderabbitai summary - Regenerate walkthrough
@coderabbitai resolve - Mark all comments resolved
@coderabbitai generate-docstrings - Auto-generate docstrings
@coderabbitai configuration - Show active config
@coderabbitai help - List all commands
## Tips:- Reply to comments to teach CodeRabbit your preferences
- Add "WIP" to PR title to skip review
- Keep PRs under 500 lines for best review quality
- Use @coderabbitai run <recipe> for finishing touches
