+        Avalonia 11.3 desktop app using code-behind pattern (not MVVM).
+        Watch for: null reference risks, proper disposal of resources,

+    - path: "src/PlanViewer.Core/**/*.cs"
+      instructions: >
+        Core library with execution plan analysis (PlanAnalyzer), XML parsing,
+        and shared services. Watch for: XML parsing safety, null handling,
+        and performance with large execution plans.
+    - path: "src/PlanViewer.Mcp/**/*.cs"
+      instructions: >
+        MCP (Model Context Protocol) server integration for AI tools.
+        Watch for: input validation, proper error responses, and serialization safety.
+    - path: "tests/**/*.cs"
+      instructions: >
+        Unit and integration tests. Watch for: test isolation,
+        meaningful assertions, and proper test data setup.
