What problem does it solve? Code review feedback often triggers two failure modes: performative agreement ("You're absolutely right!") or blind implementation of suggestions that may be wrong for the codebase. This Skill enforces technical rigor when receiving review comments, ensuring every suggestion is verified against the actual codebase before being implemented. ## 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 protocols for trusted human partner feedback versus external reviewer suggestions, including pushback with technical reasoning when suggestions break functionality or violate YAGNI. - Unclear Feedback Protocol: Stops all implementation when any item is unclear and requests clarification before proceeding, preventing partial or wrong implementations. - Use Case: A reviewer on your GitHub PR suggests removing legacy code and adding a metrics endpoint. Instead of agreeing, you verify the legacy code is needed for backward compatibility and grep the codebase to find nothing calls the metrics endpoint, then reply in the comment thread with reasoned pushback. ## Quick Start Apply the receiving-code-review skill to evaluate and respond to the review comments on my current pull request.
