SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill addresses the risk of developers merging AI-generated code they do not fully comprehend, ensuring they remain accountable for the software they ship.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Reverse Code Review: Probes the developer's reasoning, assumptions, and understanding of consequences rather than just checking for syntax errors.
  • Risk-Based Triage: Focuses interrogation on high-stakes areas like authentication, security, migrations, and complex logic.
  • Accountability Attestation: Generates a structured report of the developer's understanding to be included in pull request descriptions or personal records.

Quick Start

Run the do-i-understand skill against the current pull request or branch to begin a guided interview about your changes.

FAQPage Schema
How do I ensure accountability for AI-generated code in pull requests?

Accountability for AI-generated code is ensured by validating developer comprehension of changes through targeted, non-adversarial questioning regarding logic, failure modes, and architectural assumptions.

What is reverse code review for software quality?

Reverse code review probes the developer's reasoning, assumptions, and understanding of consequences rather than just checking for syntax errors, focusing interrogation on high-stakes areas like authentication and migrations.

How do I validate my understanding of AI-generated commits and diffs?

Validate your understanding of AI-generated commits and diffs by running a guided interview against the changed lines, which anchors the interrogation to identify gaps in reasoning and produce an accountability report.

Can I use risk-based triage for AI-generated code changes?

Risk-based triage can be used for AI-generated code changes to focus interrogation on high-stakes areas like security, authentication, migrations, and complex logic, ensuring developers comprehend critical modifications.

Does accountability attestation work with pull request descriptions?

Accountability attestation generates a structured report of the developer's understanding that can be included directly in pull request descriptions or personal records to document comprehension of AI-generated code.

When should I not use automated code comprehension validation?

Automated code comprehension validation requires a concrete set of changed lines to anchor the interrogation, so it should not be used when no specific pull request, commit, or diff is available to review.
