The code review skill (/code-review) now runs a dedicated "conventions" finder angle that checks changed code against the CLAUDE.md files governing those files.
Details
Looks at user-level ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md, repo-root CLAUDE.md, and any ancestor-directory CLAUDE.md or CLAUDE.local.md relevant to changed files
Only flags a violation when the exact rule can be quoted and the exact violating line identified — no vague style inferences
Total finder angles increase: high effort goes from 7 to 8 independent angles; max effort goes from 9 to 10
Cleanup/altitude/conventions candidates share the same finding shape; correctness bugs always rank higher when output cap forces a cut
Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
