SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Receiving code review feedback often triggers performative agreement or blind implementation, leading to broken code, wasted effort on unnecessary features, and missed clarification on ambiguous items. This Skill enforces a verify-first workflow so feedback is evaluated against the actual codebase before any changes are made. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Structured Response Pattern: Read, understand, verify, evaluate, respond, then implement feedback one item at a time with individual testing. - Source-Specific Handling: Different rules for trusted human partner feedback versus external reviewer suggestions, including YAGNI checks for unused features. - Pushback Guidance: Provides technical reasoning patterns for disagreeing with incorrect suggestions and gracefully correcting your own wrong pushback. - Use Case: A reviewer asks you to remove legacy code. Instead of agreeing immediately, you check build targets, discover backward-compatibility requirements, and respond with the technical constraint before acting. ## Quick Start Use the receiving-code-review skill to evaluate and respond to the review comments on my current pull request.

FAQPage Schema
How should I respond to code review feedback as a developer?

Read the full feedback, restate the requirement, verify it against the codebase, then implement one item at a time with individual testing. Avoid performative agreement like "great point" and instead state the fix or ask clarifying questions.

How do I handle unclear code review comments?

Stop and ask for clarification before implementing anything, even if other items are clear. Partial understanding leads to wrong implementations because related items may interact, so clarify all ambiguous points first.

When should I push back on a code review suggestion?

Push back when a suggestion breaks existing functionality, violates YAGNI for unused features, is technically incorrect for your stack, or conflicts with architectural decisions. Use technical reasoning and reference working code rather than being defensive.

Should I implement every suggestion from external reviewers?

No. External feedback is a suggestion to evaluate, not an order. Check whether it is technically correct for your codebase, breaks existing functionality, and whether the reviewer understands the full context before implementing.

How do I reply to inline GitHub review comments?

Reply within the comment thread using the GitHub API endpoint for pull request comment replies, not as a top-level PR comment. This keeps the discussion attached to the specific code line being reviewed.
