## From README

Code Review Methodology Philosophy Not all tech debt is equal. Code that changes often and is hard to understand costs you every sprint. Code that's ugly but stable and rarely touched costs you nothing. Focus where it hurts. This methodology combines two lenses: Software craftsmanship — is the code clean, testable, well-structured? (See skills/clean-code/SKILL.md, skills/architecture-patterns/SKILL.md, skills/tdd-practices/SKILL.md) Behavioral analysis — what does the git history tell us about where problems cluster, what changes together, and where complexity is growing? (Adam Tornhill's "Code as a Crime Scene" / "Software Design X-Rays") Hotspot Analysis A hotspot is a file that is both frequently changed AND complex. Frequent changes alone don't mean trouble (a config file that gets updated often is fine). Complexity alone doesn't mean trouble (a complex algorithm that never changes is stable). The intersection is where bugs breed.
