# Conventional Comments
Review comments from the code, security, and docs reviewers use the
Conventional Comments format (https://conventionalcomments.org) — the
ux-reviewer's live-verification report uses its own Working/Broken/Could
Improve format instead. Every comment MUST include a specific `file:line`
reference.
## Comment Style
Critique the code, not the coder. Assume competence. The same finding can
read as collaborative or hostile depending on phrasing:
| Avoid (person-directed) | Prefer (code-directed) |
|-------------------------|------------------------|
| "Your approach is adding unnecessary complexity." | "The complexity this adds is not worth the result." |
| "You are not handling the null case." | "The null case is not handled here." |
| "This does not make any sense." | "I cannot follow what this branch is doing — clarify?" |
- Explain *why* the change is requested. A finding without a reason loses
the rationale for the next reader of the diff.
- Reserve `issue:` for findings that materially affect correctness,
security, or maintainability. Use `suggestion:` or `nitpick:` for
preferences.
- A high comment density on a single change is a design signal, not just a
style problem. When the count climbs past ~10 substantive comments,
propose splitting the change or escalating the design conversation out
of the review tool.
## Comment Types
Every comment body MUST begin with the label and decoration wrapped in
`**...**` so GitHub renders it bold.
