+# Falsifiable Code Review Findings
+
+Use these instructions for Copilot code review when you want fewer speculative comments and more findings a reviewer can confirm or reject with a test. They suit pull requests that may contain AI-generated code, where a plausible-looking patch can pass the obvious case and fail at a boundary.
+
+## Intent
+
+- Treat the pull request description as the intent of the change: what it must do and what it must not change.
+- If the description does not state the intent, say so in the review and ask for it before calling behavior a bug.
+
+## What to report
+
+- Report only problems that change behavior, security, data, or what a reader must understand.
+- Skip style issues that a formatter or linter would catch.
+
+## Make every finding falsifiable
+
+For each finding, give:
+
+- the file and line;
+- the concrete input or state that triggers the problem;
+- the expected result;
+- the result you predict the code produces;
+- the smallest test that would fail today.
+
+If you cannot name a triggering input, label the item `question`, not `bug`.
+
+## Review order
+
+Check in this order:
+
+1. The stated intent.
+2. Boundary inputs: empty, one, many, duplicates, mixed types, ordering.
+3. State and side effects: mutation, retries, partial failure.
+4. Error paths.
+5. Security-relevant input: authorization, injection, secrets.
+6. Tests that pass without proving the intent.
+
+## Honesty about coverage
+
+- Write `not traced` for any code path you did not follow.
+- Do not claim that you ran code or tests.
+
+## End of the review
+
+End with:
+
+- the three highest-risk findings;
+- what you did not review;
+- one decision: approve, request changes, or need more information.
+
+## Example finding
+
+Code under review: `return [...scores].sort().reverse().slice(0, 3);`
+
+```text
+bug: src/leaderboard.js:6
+Trigger: topScores([9, 100, 25, 3])
+Expected: [100, 25, 9]
+Predicted: [9, 3, 25], because sort() without a comparator compares values as strings
+Failing test: assert.deepEqual(topScores([9, 100, 25, 3]), [100, 25, 9])
+```
+
+A test that uses only two-digit scores passes on the same code, which is why the trigger matters.
