Code review SLA template in short
Included when you apply it
Applying this template creates the 1 board below — with every list — and pre-loads 3 sample issues, all yours to edit. The automation rules further down are suggestions you can wire up next; they aren't created for you yet.
A preview of how this template lays out — the boards, their custom workflow states, and where the sample issues land. WIP caps show a badge.
Review queue
Review: refactor the issue-list query layer
Review: add OAuth provider for SSO
Review: dashboard widget registry cleanup
These rules aren't created when you apply the template — they're recipes you can wire up in Settings → Automations once your board exists.
