What problem does it solve?
It prevents confusing, unclear, or questionable code-review feedback from being followed blindly, reducing regressions and wasted engineering time by enforcing verification before changes.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Structured review reception: Read feedback fully, restate requirements, verify against the real codebase, and evaluate whether the suggestion is technically correct.
- Guardrails against performative behavior: Avoid empty agreement and gratitude; respond with technical acknowledgment or reasoned pushback instead.
- Unclear-item handling: Stops implementation when any items are unclear and requests clarification to avoid partial or incorrect changes.
- Safe implementation workflow: Implements multi-item feedback one item at a time with testing and regression checks, prioritizing blocking issues first.
- Context-aware YAGNI validation: Greps for actual usage to decide whether “properly implement” suggestions are needed or should be removed as unused.
Quick Start
Use the receiving-code-review skill when you receive code-review feedback that may be unclear or technically questionable so the agent verifies the request against the codebase and tests changes one-by-one.
