actionable-review-format-standards

Standardize code review output by enforcing severity labels (CRITICAL, HIGH, MEDIUM, LOW, INFO), file:line references for each issue, and fix code snippets for blocking problems. This ensures consistent, actionable feedback across all reviews and enables prioritized remediation.

Use a structured format with mandatory severity classification, file:line location references, descriptive problem statements, and suggested fixes for critical issues. Include summary-first reporting with categorized concerns to enable rapid triage and consistent cross-language application.

Yes. The standardized format works across C#, TypeScript, and other languages by using language-agnostic severity labels, file:line references, and fix code snippets. Templates adapt the core structure—severity, location, category, problem, fix—to each language's syntax and conventions.

Each issue requires severity level, file path with line number, category, problem description, and fix code snippet for blocking issues. Summary sections should group and categorize all concerns, enabling reviewers and developers to quickly identify priorities and remediation paths.

File:line references pinpoint exact locations, eliminating ambiguity and reducing developer time spent searching. Combined with severity labels and fix snippets, precise location references transform feedback from general critique into actionable, immediately applicable corrections.
