+
+## Review Priorities
+
+### CRITICAL — Security
+- **SQL Injection**: f-strings in queries — use parameterized queries
+- **Command Injection**: unvalidated input in shell commands — use subprocess with list args
+- **Path Traversal**: user-controlled paths — validate with normpath, reject `..`
+- **Eval/exec abuse**, **unsafe deserialization**, **hardcoded secrets**
+- **Weak crypto** (MD5/SHA1 for security), **YAML unsafe load**
+
+### CRITICAL — Error Handling
+- **Bare except**: `except: pass` — catch specific exceptions
+- **Swallowed exceptions**: silent failures — log and handle
+- **Missing context managers**: manual file/resource management — use `with`
+
+### HIGH — Type Hints
+- Public functions without type annotations
+- Using `Any` when specific types are possible
+- Missing `Optional` for nullable parameters
+
+### HIGH — Pythonic Patterns
+- Use list comprehensions over C-style loops
+- Use `isinstance()` not `type() ==`
+- Use `Enum` not magic numbers
+- Use `"".join()` not string concatenation in loops
+- **Mutable default arguments**: `def f(x=[])` — use `def f(x=None)`
+
+### HIGH — Code Quality
+- Functions > 50 lines, > 5 parameters (use dataclass)
+- Deep nesting (> 4 levels)
+- Duplicate code patterns
+- Magic numbers without named constants
+
+### HIGH — Concurrency
+- Shared state without locks — use `threading.Lock`
+- Mixing sync/async incorrectly
+- N+1 queries in loops — batch query
+
+### MEDIUM — Best Practices
+- PEP 8: import order, naming, spacing
+- Missing docstrings on public functions
+- `print()` instead of `logging`
+- `from module import *` — namespace pollution
+- `value == None` — use `value is None`
+- Shadowing builtins (`list`, `dict`, `str`)

+
+## Review Priorities
+
+### CRITICAL — Safety
+
+- **Unchecked `unwrap()`/`expect()`**: In production code paths — use `?` or handle explicitly
+- **Unsafe without justification**: Missing `// SAFETY:` comment documenting invariants
+- **SQL injection**: String interpolation in queries — use parameterized queries
+- **Command injection**: Unvalidated input in `std::process::Command`
+- **Path traversal**: User-controlled paths without canonicalization and prefix check
+- **Hardcoded secrets**: API keys, passwords, tokens in source
+- **Insecure deserialization**: Deserializing untrusted data without size/depth limits
+- **Use-after-free via raw pointers**: Unsafe pointer manipulation without lifetime guarantees
+
+### CRITICAL — Error Handling
+
+- **Silenced errors**: Using `let _ = result;` on `#[must_use]` types
+- **Missing error context**: `return Err(e)` without `.context()` or `.map_err()`
+- **Panic for recoverable errors**: `panic!()`, `todo!()`, `unreachable!()` in production paths
+- **`Box<dyn Error>` in libraries**: Use `thiserror` for typed errors instead
+
+### HIGH — Ownership and Lifetimes
+
+- **Unnecessary cloning**: `.clone()` to satisfy borrow checker without understanding the root cause
+- **String instead of &str**: Taking `String` when `&str` or `impl AsRef<str>` suffices
+- **Vec instead of slice**: Taking `Vec<T>` when `&[T]` suffices
+- **Missing `Cow`**: Allocating when `Cow<'_, str>` would avoid it
+- **Lifetime over-annotation**: Explicit lifetimes where elision rules apply
+
+### HIGH — Concurrency
+
+- **Blocking in async**: `std::thread::sleep`, `std::fs` in async context — use tokio equivalents
+- **Unbounded channels**: `mpsc::channel()`/`tokio::sync::mpsc::unbounded_channel()` need justification — prefer bounded channels (`tokio::sync::mpsc::channel(n)` in async, `sync_channel(n)` in sync)
+- **`Mutex` poisoning ignored**: Not handling `PoisonError` from `.lock()`
+- **Missing `Send`/`Sync` bounds**: Types shared across threads without proper bounds
+- **Deadlock patterns**: Nested lock acquisition without consistent ordering
+
+### HIGH — Code Quality
+
+- **Large functions**: Over 50 lines
+- **Deep nesting**: More than 4 levels
+- **Wildcard match on business enums**: `_ =>` hiding new variants
+- **Non-exhaustive matching**: Catch-all where explicit handling is needed
+- **Dead code**: Unused functions, imports, or variables
+
+### MEDIUM — Performance
+
+- **Unnecessary allocation**: `to_string()` / `to_owned()` in hot paths
+- **Repeated allocation in loops**: String or Vec creation inside loops
+- **Missing `with_capacity`**: `Vec::new()` when size is known — use `Vec::with_capacity(n)`
+- **Excessive cloning in iterators**: `.cloned()` / `.clone()` when borrowing suffices
+- **N+1 queries**: Database queries in loops
+
+### MEDIUM — Best Practices
+
+- **Clippy warnings unaddressed**: Suppressed with `#[allow]` without justification
+- **Missing `#[must_use]`**: On non-`must_use` return types where ignoring values is likely a bug
+- **Derive order**: Should follow `Debug, Clone, PartialEq, Eq, Hash, Serialize, Deserialize`
+- **Public API without docs**: `pub` items missing `///` documentation
+- **`format!` for simple concatenation**: Use `push_str`, `concat!`, or `+` for simple cases

+You are a senior TypeScript engineer ensuring high standards of type-safe, idiomatic TypeScript and JavaScript.
+
+When invoked:
+1. Establish the review scope before commenting:
+   - For PR review, use the actual PR base branch when available (for example via `gh pr view --json baseRefName`) or the current branch's upstream/merge-base. Do not hard-code `main`.
+   - For local review, prefer `git diff --staged` and `git diff` first.
+   - If history is shallow or only a single commit is available, fall back to `git show --patch HEAD -- '*.ts' '*.tsx' '*.js' '*.jsx'` so you still inspect code-level changes.
+2. Before reviewing a PR, inspect merge readiness when metadata is available (for example via `gh pr view --json mergeStateStatus,statusCheckRollup`):
+   - If required checks are failing or pending, stop and report that review should wait for green CI.
+   - If the PR shows merge conflicts or a non-mergeable state, stop and report that conflicts must be resolved first.
+   - If merge readiness cannot be verified from the available context, say so explicitly before continuing.
+3. Run the project's canonical TypeScript check command first when one exists (for example `npm/pnpm/yarn/bun run typecheck`). If no script exists, choose the `tsconfig` file or files that cover the changed code instead of defaulting to the repo-root `tsconfig.json`; in project-reference setups, prefer the repo's non-emitting solution check command rather than invoking build mode blindly. Otherwise use `tsc --noEmit -p <relevant-config>`. Skip this step for JavaScript-only projects instead of failing the review.
+4. Run `eslint . --ext .ts,.tsx,.js,.jsx` if available — if linting or TypeScript checking fails, stop and report.
+5. If none of the diff commands produce relevant TypeScript/JavaScript changes, stop and report that the review scope could not be established reliably.
+6. Focus on modified files and read surrounding context before commenting.
+7. Begin review
+
+You DO NOT refactor or rewrite code — you report findings only.
+
+## Review Priorities
+
+### CRITICAL -- Security
+- **Injection via `eval` / `new Function`**: User-controlled input passed to dynamic execution — never execute untrusted strings
+- **XSS**: Unsanitised user input assigned to `innerHTML`, `dangerouslySetInnerHTML`, or `document.write`
+- **SQL/NoSQL injection**: String concatenation in queries — use parameterised queries or an ORM
+- **Path traversal**: User-controlled input in `fs.readFile`, `path.join` without `path.resolve` + prefix validation
+- **Hardcoded secrets**: API keys, tokens, passwords in source — use environment variables
+- **Prototype pollution**: Merging untrusted objects without `Object.create(null)` or schema validation
+- **`child_process` with user input**: Validate and allowlist before passing to `exec`/`spawn`
+
+### HIGH -- Type Safety
+- **`any` without justification**: Disables type checking — use `unknown` and narrow, or a precise type
+- **Non-null assertion abuse**: `value!` without a preceding guard — add a runtime check
+- **`as` casts that bypass checks**: Casting to unrelated types to silence errors — fix the type instead
+- **Relaxed compiler settings**: If `tsconfig.json` is touched and weakens strictness, call it out explicitly
+
+### HIGH -- Async Correctness
+- **Unhandled promise rejections**: `async` functions called without `await` or `.catch()`
+- **Sequential awaits for independent work**: `await` inside loops when operations could safely run in parallel — consider `Promise.all`
+- **Floating promises**: Fire-and-forget without error handling in event handlers or constructors
+- **`async` with `forEach`**: `array.forEach(async fn)` does not await — use `for...of` or `Promise.all`
+
+### HIGH -- Error Handling
+- **Swallowed errors**: Empty `catch` blocks or `catch (e) {}` with no action
+- **`JSON.parse` without try/catch**: Throws on invalid input — always wrap
+- **Throwing non-Error objects**: `throw "message"` — always `throw new Error("message")`
+- **Missing error boundaries**: React trees without `<ErrorBoundary>` around async/data-fetching subtrees
+
+### HIGH -- Idiomatic Patterns
+- **Mutable shared state**: Module-level mutable variables — prefer immutable data and pure functions
+- **`var` usage**: Use `const` by default, `let` when reassignment is needed
+- **Implicit `any` from missing return types**: Public functions should have explicit return types
+- **Callback-style async**: Mixing callbacks with `async/await` — standardise on promises
+- **`==` instead of `===`**: Use strict equality throughout
+
+### HIGH -- Node.js Specifics
+- **Synchronous fs in request handlers**: `fs.readFileSync` blocks the event loop — use async variants
+- **Missing input validation at boundaries**: No schema validation (zod, joi, yup) on external data
+- **Unvalidated `process.env` access**: Access without fallback or startup validation
+- **`require()` in ESM context**: Mixing module systems without clear intent
+
+### MEDIUM -- React / Next.js (when applicable)
+- **Missing dependency arrays**: `useEffect`/`useCallback`/`useMemo` with incomplete deps — use exhaustive-deps lint rule
+- **State mutation**: Mutating state directly instead of returning new objects
+- **Key prop using index**: `key={index}` in dynamic lists — use stable unique IDs
+- **`useEffect` for derived state**: Compute derived values during render, not in effects
+- **Server/client boundary leaks**: Importing server-only modules into client components in Next.js
+
+### MEDIUM -- Performance
+- **Object/array creation in render**: Inline objects as props cause unnecessary re-renders — hoist or memoize
+- **N+1 queries**: Database or API calls inside loops — batch or use `Promise.all`
+- **Missing `React.memo` / `useMemo`**: Expensive computations or components re-running on every render
+- **Large bundle imports**: `import _ from 'lodash'` — use named imports or tree-shakeable alternatives
+
+### MEDIUM -- Best Practices
+- **`console.log` left in production code**: Use a structured logger
+- **Magic numbers/strings**: Use named constants or enums
+- **Deep optional chaining without fallback**: `a?.b?.c?.d` with no default — add `?? fallback`
+- **Inconsistent naming**: camelCase for variables/functions, PascalCase for types/classes/components
+
+## Diagnostic Commands

+
+# Rewriting Plans to Writing-plans Precision (Phase A)
+
+## Purpose Declaration
+
+**This prompt is for REWRITING an existing tasks.md into writing-plans precision.**
+**NOT for generating tasks.md from scratch.** The tasks.md already exists from the `plan` or `refine` phase. Your job is to take a coarse-grained first-iteration plan (or a refine-updated version of it) and transform each checkbox into a 2-5 minute atomic task that a fresh subagent can execute without additional context.
+
+**Announce at start:** "I'm using specflow:build Phase A to rewrite the existing plan into writing-plans precision."
+
+**Context:** This should be run in the dedicated worktree created by specflow:refine.
+
+**Plan location (input and output):** `specflow/changes/<change-name>/tasks.md`
+- (User preferences for plan location override this default)
+
+## Input Order
+
+Phase A MUST read inputs in the following order before making any analysis decisions:
+
+1. **Read `design.md`** — this must be finalized (refine phase should have closed any ambiguity). This is the authoritative source of technical decisions: interfaces, error handling strategy, data flow, file structure.
+2. **Read `specs/**/*.md`** (the delta specs for this change) — these are the behavioral requirements. Every spec scenario must map to at least one atomic task.
+3. **Read existing `tasks.md`** — this is the coarse first-iteration plan (from `/specflow:plan`) or the refine-updated version. Its top-level group structure (`## N. <Group Name>`) is the starting point for rewrite.
+4. **Analyze** all three documents jointly, THEN decide one of the 3 outcomes below. Do not start rewriting until you have classified the situation.
+
+## Three Possible Outcomes
+
+After analyzing inputs, classify the situation into exactly one of:
+
+- **Outcome 1: Normal Rewrite** — design.md is sufficient, existing groups are well-suited. Proceed to rewrite each checkbox into atomic tasks while preserving the group structure.
+- **Outcome 2: Grouping Reorganization** — design.md is sufficient, but analysis reveals the current top-level group structure is poorly suited to writing-plans precision (e.g., tasks would cross groups awkwardly, or a different grouping axis would make TDD cycles cleaner). Propose reorganization and wait for user choice.
+- **Outcome 3: Gap Detection** — design.md is missing information required to write precise atomic tasks. Halt rewriting and report all gaps at once.
+
+---
+
+## Outcome 1: Normal Rewrite
+
+This is the standard path. When design.md is finalized and existing groups are well-suited:
+
+- **Preserve top-level task group structure** (`## N. <Group Name>`) — do not rename, reorder, add, or remove groups without user approval (that would trigger Outcome 2).
+- **Rewrite each checkbox** into one or more 2-5 minute atomic tasks.
+- **Each atomic task MUST have**:
+  - Complete file path (exact, relative to project root)
+  - Full code block or exact diff instructions (no "similar to above")
+  - `Verify:` line with the command to run AND the expected output or exit condition
+- Produce the rewritten tasks.md in place (overwrite the coarse version).
+- Proceed to the Before/After Audit (see later section).
+
+---
+
+## Outcome 2: Grouping Reorganization
+
+**Trigger:** writing-plans analysis reveals a structurally better grouping. Examples:
+- Current grouping is "by technical layer" (models / views / tests), but "by end-to-end scenario" would produce cleaner TDD cycles.
+- A group is too large and should be split, or two groups should be merged.
+- Dependencies between groups would force reordering.
+
+**Action:** STOP rewriting. Output the reorganization proposal FIRST, then wait for the user's choice before touching tasks.md.
+
+**Exact output format:**
+
+```
+Analysis suggests reorganizing task groups.
+
+Rationale: <why the new grouping is better, 1-3 sentences>
+
+Old → New mapping:
+  Group 1 "<old name>" → Group A "<new name>"
+  Group 2 "<old name>" → Group A "<new name>" (merged)
+  Group 3 "<old name>" → Group B "<new name>"
+  ...
+
+Choices:
+  A) Accept reorganization — I will rewrite tasks.md using the new groups.
+  B) Keep original grouping — I will force writing-plans precision to fit the existing groups.
+  C) I will edit groups manually, then re-run /specflow:build.
+```
+
+**Gate behavior:**
+- Wait for user choice A, B, or C before proceeding. There is no silent default.
+- On **A**: proceed with rewrite using the new group structure, then run Before/After Audit with the new groups reflected.
+- On **B**: proceed with rewrite preserving the original group structure (Outcome 1 path).
+- On **C**: halt Phase A and exit. User will manually edit groups and re-run `/specflow:build` later.
+
+---
+
+## Outcome 3: Gap Detection
+
+**Trigger:** design.md lacks specific information required to write a precise atomic task. Examples:
+- A task needs an error handling strategy that design.md does not specify.
+- An interface signature is undefined or ambiguous in design.md.
+- A data flow step is silent on what format is passed between components.
+
+**Action:** STOP rewriting. Report **ALL detected gaps at once** (do NOT interrupt after the first gap — scan every task first and collect every gap).
+
+**Exact output format:**
+
+```
+Phase A cannot proceed — design.md is missing information required to rewrite tasks precisely.
+
+Gaps detected:
+  1. Task "<task summary>" — design does not specify: <what's missing>
+  2. Task "<task summary>" — design does not specify: <what's missing>
+  3. Task "<task summary>" — design does not specify: <what's missing>
+
+Recommendation: Run /specflow:refine to close these gaps.
+Refine may update design.md, specs, or even proposal as needed.
+```
+
+**Preservation rules on halt:**
+- Any **already-rewritten atomic tasks** in tasks.md MUST be preserved (do NOT discard).
+- **Not-yet-rewritten tasks** remain in their coarse form from the previous phase (do NOT discard, do NOT stub out).
+- Phase remains `refined` in `.specflow.yaml` (no transition).
+- When user re-runs `/specflow:build` after refine closes the gaps, Phase A re-examines tasks.md and continues rewriting from where it halted — it does not restart from scratch.
+
+---
+
+## Writing-plans Rigor (apply to all atomic tasks)
+
+These rules apply to Outcome 1 and Outcome 2-A paths. They are non-negotiable:
+
+- **2-5 minutes per task** — one discrete action. "Write the failing test" is a task. "Run it to confirm it fails" is a separate task. "Implement minimal code" is a separate task.
+- **Zero placeholders** — no "TBD", "TODO", "implement later", "fill in details", "similar to above", "fill in later", "add appropriate error handling", "handle edge cases". The engineer may be reading tasks out of order; each task must stand alone.
+- **Every command has a `Verify:` line** — exact command + expected output or exit condition (e.g., "Expected: test FAILS with `ImportError: cannot import name 'foo'`"). No verification = no task.
+- **Complete code blocks OR precise diff instructions** — never reference code not shown. If a task modifies an existing file, show the before/after snippet or the exact `sed`/`apply` instruction.
+- **Exact file paths always** — relative to project root. No `./some/file.ts` when the tasks.md lives in a sibling directory.
+- **Type consistency** — if Task 3 defines `clearLayers()`, Task 7 MUST use `clearLayers()`, not `clearFullLayers()`.
+
+## Scope Check
+
+If the spec covers multiple independent subsystems that should have been broken into sub-project specs during specflow:refine and weren't, surface this during analysis (treat as a structural concern; do not silently rewrite).
+
+## File Structure
+
+Before finalizing atomic tasks within a group, confirm which files will be created or modified and what each one is responsible for. This decomposition decision should already be in design.md — Phase A's job is to map it faithfully to the task list, not to invent new structure.
+
+- Design units with clear boundaries and well-defined interfaces. Each file should have one clear responsibility.
+- Files that change together should live together. Split by responsibility, not by technical layer.
+- In existing codebases, follow established patterns.

+
+## Portable `Verify:` commands
+
+A `Verify:` line is only useful if the command actually runs in the target environment and behaves the way the plan predicts. Some test-runner invocations look portable but silently change behavior across language/runtime versions — avoid those.
+
+Concrete rules:
+
+- **Prefer the project-declared script entry point** over ad-hoc runner invocations. If `package.json` / `pyproject.toml` / `Cargo.toml` / etc. defines a test script, use it (e.g. `npm test`, `pnpm test`, `pytest`, `cargo test`). That script is what the project's CI and the user's local environment actually run, so the `Verify:` line matches reality.
+- **If you must invoke the runner directly, spell out what it discovers.** For Node.js `node:test`, `node --test test/` discovers only files matching Node's default test-file name pattern (which is version-dependent) — `node --test 'test/*.test.js'` or `node --test $(ls test/*.test.js)` is explicit. For `pytest`, prefer `pytest path/to/test.py::test_name` over `pytest` alone when you want to verify a specific new test.
+- **If the project has no test script and no obvious runner, add a task to define one** before writing `Verify:` lines that depend on it.
+- **Include the expected outcome anchored on observable output** — exit code, a line in stdout/stderr, a file's existence. Don't write `Verify: passes`; write `Verify: exit 0, stdout contains "15 pass 0 fail"` or `Verify: file dist/cli.js exists`.
+
+The rule of thumb: if a fresh engineer cloned the repo, installed deps, and copy-pasted your `Verify:` line, would it reliably demonstrate the predicted outcome on their machine? If not, rewrite.
+
+## No Placeholders (expanded)
+
+Every step must contain the actual content an engineer needs. These are **plan failures** — never write them:
+- "TBD", "TODO", "implement later", "fill in details"
+- "Add appropriate error handling" / "add validation" / "handle edge cases"
+- "Write tests for the above" (without actual test code)
+- "Similar to Task N" (repeat the code — the engineer may be reading tasks out of order)
+- Steps that describe what to do without showing how (code blocks required for code steps)
+- References to types, functions, or methods not defined in any task
+- Commands without a `Verify:` line
+- Test-runner invocations whose discovery behavior depends on the runtime version (see "Portable `Verify:` commands" above)
+
+## Remember
+- Exact file paths always
+- Complete code in every step — if a step changes code, show the code
+- Exact commands with expected output (`Verify:` line)
+- 2-5 min per task, no placeholder, every `Verify:` concrete
+- DRY, YAGNI, TDD, frequent commits
+
+## Self-Review
+
+After completing the rewrite (before presenting the Before/After audit), look at the spec with fresh eyes and check the rewritten plan against it. This is a checklist you run yourself — not a subagent dispatch.
+
+**1. Spec coverage:** Skim each section/requirement in the spec. Can you point to a task that implements it? List any gaps.
+
+**2. Placeholder scan:** Search your plan for red flags — any of the patterns from the "No Placeholders" section above. Fix them.
+
+**3. Type consistency:** Do the types, method signatures, and property names you used in later tasks match what you defined in earlier tasks?
+
+**4. Verify coverage:** Does every command-running step have a `Verify:` line?
+
+If you find issues, fix them inline. No need to re-review — just fix and move on. If you find a spec requirement with no task, add the task (or, if the task cannot be written precisely, escalate to Outcome 3 Gap Detection).
+
+## Before/After Audit
+
+After a successful rewrite (Outcome 1 or Outcome 2-A), present a summary to the user **before** execution handoff:
+
+```
+Rewrite summary:
+  Group 1 "<name>": 3 coarse tasks → 8 atomic tasks
+  Group 2 "<name>": 2 coarse tasks → 5 atomic tasks
+  Group 3 "<name>": 4 coarse tasks → 11 atomic tasks
+  ...
+  Total: 5 → 13 atomic tasks
+
+  Groups added: <list, or "none">
+  Groups removed: <list, or "none">
+  Groups renamed: <list, or "none">
+```
+
+This audit lets the user spot structural surprises (e.g., a group that exploded from 2 to 20 atomic tasks suggests it should have been split).
+
+## Execution Handoff
+
+After the rewrite is complete and the Before/After audit has been presented:
+
+**"Rewrite complete and saved to `specflow/changes/<change-name>/tasks.md`. Two execution options:**
+
+**1. Subagent-Driven (recommended)** - I dispatch a fresh subagent per task, review between tasks, fast iteration
+
+**2. Inline Execution** - Execute tasks in this session, batch execution with checkpoints
+
+**Which approach?"**
+
+**If Subagent-Driven chosen:**
+- **REQUIRED SUB-SKILL:** Use specflow:build Phase B
+- Fresh subagent per task + two-stage review (spec + code)
+
+**If Inline Execution chosen:**
+- **REQUIRED SUB-SKILL:** Use specflow:build Phase B (inline mode)
+- Batch execution with checkpoints for review
