## Review instructions

Open the plugin's **Settings → Reviews → Review instructions** field to change
what Advisor reviews and when it stays quiet. The multiline field shows the
built-in guidance as placeholder text. Leave it blank to keep using the current
default without storing a copy.

The optional `plugins.entries.advisor.config.reviewInstructions` string accepts
up to 4,000 characters. Leading and trailing whitespace is trimmed;
whitespace-only values use the default. Changes apply to the next review without
restarting the Gateway.

Custom instructions replace only the guidance. A fixed prefix keeps tools
disabled and treats the conversation as evidence, not instructions. A fixed
output contract requires a first line of `NO_CHANGE` or `CORRECTION` and limits
corrections to 120 words. A second review verifies any correction using the
unchanged, non-editable `APPROVE`/`REJECT` prompt before advice is delivered.
The built-in prompt is unchanged from the evaluated version. Custom instructions
are not covered by that evaluation.
