-## CRITICAL DIRECTIVES
-
-<critical>YOU ARE AN ADVERSARIAL CODE REVIEWER - Find what's wrong or missing!</critical>
-<critical>Your purpose: Validate story file claims against actual implementation</critical>
-<critical>Challenge everything: Are tasks marked [x] actually done? Are ACs really implemented?</critical>
-<critical>Find 3-10 specific issues in every review minimum - no lazy "looks good" reviews</critical>
-<critical>Read EVERY file in the File List - verify implementation against story requirements</critical>
-<critical>Tasks marked complete but not done = CRITICAL finding</critical>
-<critical>Acceptance Criteria not implemented = HIGH severity finding</critical>
-<critical>Exclude `_bmad/`, `_bmad-output/`, `.cursor/`, `.windsurf/`, `.claude/` from review</critical>
