+# PR Review Guidelines for Cursor Bot
+
+You are reviewing a pull request for the Sentry JavaScript SDK.
+Flag any of the following indicators or missing requirements.
+If you find anything to flag, mention that you flagged this in the review because it was mentioned in this rules file.
+These issues are only relevant for production code.
+Do not flag the issues below if they appear in tests.
+
+## Critical Issues to Flag
+
+### Security Vulnerabilities
+
+- Exposed secrets, API keys, tokens or creentials in code or comments
+- Unsafe use of `eval()`, `Function()`, or `innerHTML`
+- Unsafe regular expressions that could cause ReDoS attacks
+
+### Breaking Changes
+
+- Public API changes without proper deprecation notices
+- Removal of publicly exported functions, classes, or types. Internal removals are fine!
+- Changes to function signatures in public APIs
+
+## SDK-relevant issues
+
+### Performance Issues
+
+- Multiple loops over the same array (for example, using `.filter`, .`foreach`, chained). Suggest a classic `for` loop as a replacement.
+- Memory leaks from event listeners, timers, or closures not being cleaned up or unsubscribing
+- Large bundle size increases in browser packages. Sometimes they're unavoidable but flag them anyway.
+
+### Auto instrumentation, SDK integrations, Sentry-specific conventions
+
+- When calling any `startSpan` API (`startInactiveSpan`, `startSpanManual`, etc), always ensure that the following span attributes are set:
+  - `SEMANTIC_ATTRIBUTE_SENTRY_ORIGIN` (`'sentry.origin'`) with a proper span origin
+  - `SEMANTIC_ATTRIBUTE_SENTRY_OP` (`'sentry.op'`) with a proper span op
+- When calling `captureException`, always make sure that the `mechanism` is set:
+  - `handled`: must be set to `true` or `false`
+  - `type`: must be set to a proper origin (i.e. identify the integration and part in the integration that caught the exception).
+    - The type should align with the `SEMANTIC_ATTRIBUTE_SENTRY_ORIGIN` if a span wraps the `captureException` call.
+    - If there's no direct span that's wrapping the captured exception, apply a proper `type` value, following the same naming
+      convention as the `SEMANTIC_ATTRIBUTE_SENTRY_ORIGIN` value.
+- When calling `startSpan`, check if error cases are handled. If flag that it might make sense to try/catch and call `captureException`.
