+ Add a root REVIEW.md file so Kilo applies repository-specific standards during + automated reviews. This keeps review policy with the codebase and gives teams a single + place to document what matters. +
++ Kilo reads REVIEW.md from the pull request or merge request base branch, not from + the feature branch. This prevents an unreviewed change from rewriting the review + policy that evaluates it. +
++ REVIEW.md works for GitHub and GitLab. If the file is disabled, missing, empty, or + unreadable, Kilo falls back to built-in review guidance. +
++ When REVIEW.md is used, Kilo adds a footer to the review summary. The footer notes + that guidance came from the base branch and indicates whether the file was + truncated. +
