  "version": "0.1.0",
  "title": "Turn repeated human corrections into guardrails with wider reach",
  "summary": "If humans repeat the same comment every week, the feedback is trapped at the wrong layer.",
  "kind": "heuristic",
  "body": "Classify the correction. If it is deterministic, encode it as a lint rule, test, schema or script. If it is a stable convention, put it in discoverable project documentation or a skill. If it needs judgment, create a focused review rubric or reviewer agent and keep human escalation. Aim to move recurring feedback from one artifact to the system that produces many artifacts.",
  "limits": [
    "Do not institutionalize a reviewer preference until the team agrees it is a real requirement."

      "role": "supports",
      "note": "Automated guardrails can encode a bad preference; keep ownership and review for consequential rules.",
      "locator": "Make quality legible and enforceable"

    "Reviewers keep making the same correction to AI-generated work."
  ],

    "Do not institutionalize a reviewer preference until the team agrees it is a real requirement."
  ],
  "example": "Instead of repeatedly telling an agent not to modify generated files, enforce the rule in repository instructions and CI.",
  "check": "The next similar task receives the correction before or during generation, not only after a human spots it again.",
