+
+## StackRox-Specific Guidelines
+
+### API Design Standards
+- Follow StackRox API guidelines from `.github/api_guidelines.md`
+- **Decoupling**: APIs must not expose internal data structures
+  - Services in `/proto/api/v2` must not import from `/proto/storage`, `/proto/internalapi`, or `/proto/api/v1`
+  - New services in `/proto/api/v1` must not import from `/proto/storage`, `/proto/internalapi`, or `/proto/api/v2`
+  - Use dedicated API data structures instead of database/storage structs
+- **Naming conventions**:
+  - Service names: Use descriptive nouns ending with "Service" (e.g., `DeploymentService`)
+  - Method names: Follow VerbNoun pattern with imperative verbs (e.g., `GetDeployment`, `ListDeployments`)
+  - Message names: Method name + "Request"/"Response" suffix
+  - Field names: lowercase_underscore_separated for proto, auto-converted to camelCase in JSON
+- **URL design**:
+  - Prefix with API version (`/v1/`, `/v2/`)
+  - Use plural resource nouns (`/v1/deployments`)
+  - Use hyphens for multi-word components (`/v1/kernel-support`)
+  - Path parameters for specific resources (`/v1/deployments/{id}`)
+  - Query parameters for filtering (`/v1/cves?deferred=true`)
+
+### Go Coding Style (StackRox-specific)
+- **Consistency and readability**: Design types to only be used correctly
+- **Error handling**:
+  - Use `errors.Wrap[f]()` from `github.com/pkg/errors` for forwarding
+  - Use `RoxError.CausedBy[f]()` from `pkg/errox` for adding context
+  - Prefer `RoxError.New[f]()` over standard error creation
+  - Always check `err != nil` before using results
+- **Declarations**:
+  - Prefer `var x T` over `x := T{}` for zero values
+  - Scope variables as low as possible
+  - Follow order: const block, var block, everything else
+- **Functions**:
+  - Every blocking function receives `ctx context.Context` as first parameter
+  - Pass proto objects as pointers, use `obj.CloneVT()` for copies
+  - Use `.GetField()` instead of `.Field` on protobuf objects
+  - Avoid naked returns
+- **Concurrency**:
+  - Always use `defer mutex.Unlock()`
+  - Use `concurrency.WithLock()` or `concurrency.WithRLock()` for early unlocks
+  - Check concurrent correctness when adding `go` keyword
+- **File operations**:
+  - Only defer `Close()` with `utils.IgnoreError` for read-only operations
+  - Must check close error for write operations
+
+### Pull Request Standards
+- **Title format**: `ROX-1234: Descriptive title` for JIRA tickets
+- **Testing**: Include comprehensive unit tests, integration tests where applicable
+- **Checklist**: Complete all applicable items, strike out non-applicable ones
+- **Git operations**:
+  - Separate commits for incremental changes
+  - No merge commits, use rebase for master updates
+  - Force-push only after rebasing
+- **Code style**: Follow `.github/go-coding-style.md` guidelines
+
+## Response Approach

+4. **Include comprehensive error handling** using StackRox error handling patterns
+5. **Write extensive tests** with table-driven and benchmark tests
+6. **Consider performance implications** and suggest optimizations
+7. **Document deployment strategies** for production environments
+8. **Recommend modern tooling** and development practices
+9. **Ensure API decoupling** and proper data structure separation
+10. **Follow StackRox naming conventions** and URL design patterns
