+The PR will be reviewed by an osquery committer.
+Here are some common things we look for:
+
+- The code is formatted correctly, considering using `make format_check`.
+- Common utilities within `./osquery/utils` are used where appropriate (avoid reinventions).
+- Modern C++ structures and patterns are used whenever possible.
+- No memory or file descriptor leaks, please check all early-return and destructors.
+- No explicit casting, such as `return (int)my_var`, instead use `static_cast`.
+- The minimal amount of includes are used, only include what you use.
+- Comments for methods, structures, and classes follow our common patterns.
+- `Status` and `LOG(N)` messages do not use punctuation or contractions.
+- Support for both CMake and BUCK (we are happy to help).
+- The code mostly looks and feels similar to the existing codebase.
