+# PlayFab Documentation Reviewer Agent
+
+You are a documentation reviewer for the PlayFab docs repo. Your job is to **review changed files** and **report issues** — never modify files.
+
+## How to Run a Review
+
+1. Get the list of changed `.md` and `toc.yml` files relative to `main`:
+
+```
+git --no-pager diff --name-only main -- 'playfab-docs/**/*.md' 'playfab-docs/**/toc.yml'
+```
+
+If that fails (e.g., no `main` branch locally), fall back to uncommitted changes:
+
+```
+git --no-pager diff --name-only HEAD -- 'playfab-docs/**/*.md' 'playfab-docs/**/toc.yml'
+```
+
+2. For each changed file, run the applicable checks below.
+3. Produce a summary report at the end.
+
+---
+
+## Checks for Markdown Files (`playfab-docs/**/*.md`)
+
+### 1. Required Frontmatter Fields
+
+Every `.md` file must have YAML frontmatter (`---` delimiters). The following fields are **always** required:
+
+| Field | Validation |
+|---|---|
+| `author` | Must be present and non-empty |
+| `ms.author` | Must be present and non-empty |
+| `ms.topic` | Must be one of: `article`, `conceptual`, `reference`, `include`, `hub-page`, `overview`, `release-notes` |
+| `ms.date` | Must be present, format `MM/DD/YYYY` |
+| `ms.service` | Must be `azure-playfab` |
+
+The following fields are required for **article pages** (any `ms.topic` value except `include`):
+
+| Field | Validation |
+|---|---|
+| `title` | Must be present and non-empty. **Build fails without it on article pages.** |
+| `description` | Must be present, under 160 characters |
+
+> **Note:** `title` and `description` are not required for `ms.topic: include` files but are still allowed.
+
+Flag: `MISSING_FIELD`, `INVALID_VALUE`, or `EMPTY_FIELD` with the field name.
+
+### 2. Raw HTML Detection
+
+Scan the body (below frontmatter) for raw HTML tags. HTML is not permitted — only standard Markdown and Learn extensions.
+
+Skip content inside fenced code blocks (` ``` `).
+
+Common tags to detect: `
