# pattern-reviewer-backend-standard
Backend implementation best-practice audit. This skill focuses on implementation patterns that aren't in the api / data-model contract — contract-conformance checks (paths, verbs, status codes, response/error shape, idempotency, rate-limit policy) are out of scope here.
## When to activate
- The dispatched caller is reviewing a `type:backend` task's production-code diff.
- A user says "review the queries / auth flow / error handling / log redaction / health endpoint".
## Project memory overlay
After loading this skill, also check `$MAIN_ROOT/.claude/memory/patterns/pattern-reviewer-backend-standard.md` in the consuming project (resolve `MAIN_ROOT="$(dirname "$(git rev-parse --path-format=absolute --git-common-dir)")"`). If present, load it as an **additive overlay** to the rules below; if absent, skip silently. See `memory-convention` for the full contract (additivity, severity floor, conflict surfacing).
## Iron rules
- **>80% confidence filter.** Report only when you are >80% confident. Skip stylistic preferences unless they violate a documented convention. Consolidate similar findings.
- **Cite `path/to/file.ext:line`.** Quote the offending snippet in a BAD block; show the fix in a GOOD block.
- **Severity is load-bearing.** CRITICAL / HIGH block the gate; MEDIUM / LOW are informational. Use the per-pattern severity assigned below.
- **Never refer to a finding as `#N`** — GitHub auto-links those to issues. Use a non-numeric handle
