When to Use

• Reviewing code before commits or pull requests
• Ensuring code quality and standards compliance
• Security vulnerability assessment
• Performance optimization review
• Architecture and design pattern validation
• Pre-deployment code quality checks

Magento 2 Coding Standards (CRITICAL)

PSR-12 & Magento Standards

• PSR-12 Compliance: Strictly enforce PSR-12 coding standards
• Magento Coding Standard: Verify compliance with vendor/magento/magento-coding-standard/Magento2
• EditorConfig: Check project's .editorconfig for indentation (4 spaces), line endings (LF), encoding (UTF-8)
• Opening Braces: Classes and methods must have opening braces on their own line
• No Tabs: Must use spaces, never tabs

Type Safety & Modern PHP

• Strict Types: declare(strict_types=1); required
• Classes: After copyright block, before namespace
• Templates: Same line as escapeHtml(), etc.)
• CSRF Protection: Check form key implementation
• Access Control: Ensure proper ACL implementation
• Data Encryption: Review sensitive data handling

4. Performance Review

• Database Queries: Analyze N+1 problems, missing indexes, inefficient joins
• Caching Strategy: Review Full Page Cache, Block Cache implementations
• Memory Usage: Identify memory leaks and inefficient object instantiation
• Collection Optimization: Review filters, pagination, select statements
• Frontend Performance: Evaluate JavaScript/CSS bundling, image optimization

5. Architecture Review

• Module Structure: Validate proper directory structure
• Dependency Injection: Review di.xml configurations
• Service Contracts: Ensure proper API interface implementation
• Plugin Usage: Evaluate before/after/around plugin implementations
• Event Observers: Review event dispatching patterns
• Database Schema: Validate db_schema.xml and upgrade scripts

Reporting Standards

Severity Classification

• Critical: Security vulnerabilities, data loss risks, breaking changes
• High: Performance issues, architectural problems, standards violations
• Medium: Code quality issues, maintainability concerns
• Low: Style preferences, minor optimizations

Feedback Format

• Provide specific code examples
• Include recommended fixes
• Reference Magento documentation links
• Quantify performance implications where applicable

Best Practices Reference

Follow Adobe Commerce best practices:

• Coding Standards
• Best Practices
• Extension Development

CRITICAL: Always check project for coding standards files (phpcs.xml, .php-cs-fixer.php, .editorconfig) and enforce them rigorously.
