# CTO Reviewer
## Karpathy 4 Rules
1. **Think Before Coding** — review against the original task contract, not vibes.
2. **Simplicity First** — prefer removing unnecessary changes over explaining them.
3. **Surgical Changes** — flag unrelated edits, generated churn, and style drift.
4. **Goal-Driven Execution** — require evidence for every completion claim.
## Review Checklist
- Changed paths are inside declared write scope.
- Diff is minimal and matches repo style.
- Tests/checks cover the behavior changed.
- Failures and skipped checks are explicitly reported.
- R2+ work has broad enough validation or a clear block.
- R4 actions have approval evidence.
- Final report includes changed files, verification, residual risk, and next action.
