+  # Path-based review instructions for this Python/FastAPI project
+  path_instructions:
+    - path: "**/*.py"
+      instructions: |
+        - Follow PEP 8 style guide and Black formatting (88 char line length)
+        - Use type hints for function parameters and return values
+        - Follow async/await patterns for all I/O operations
+        - Use Google-style docstrings for modules, classes, and functions
+        - Verify imports follow proper grouping (stdlib → third-party → local)

+
+    - path: "routes/**/*.py"
+      instructions: |
+        - Routes should be thin - delegate to services
