SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Receiving code review feedback often leads to performative agreement, blind implementation of questionable suggestions, or partial fixes when items are unclear. This Skill enforces a disciplined response pattern: verify feedback against the codebase before implementing, ask for clarification on unclear items, and push back with technical reasoning when suggestions are wrong. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Structured Response Pattern: Read, understand, verify, evaluate, respond, and 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 and Correction Guidance: Concrete scripts for disagreeing with reviewers using technical reasoning and for gracefully correcting your own wrong pushback. - Use Case: A reviewer asks you to remove legacy code. Instead of agreeing immediately, you check the build target, discover the API requires a newer OS version, and respond with the compatibility constraint and a question about dropping old platform support. ## Quick Start Use the receiving-code-review skill to evaluate and respond to the review comments on my pull request before implementing any changes.

FAQPage Schema
How should I respond to code review feedback before implementing it?

Read the complete feedback, restate the requirement in your own words, verify it against the actual codebase, then implement one item at a time with individual testing. Avoid performative agreement phrases and start with technical acknowledgment or action.

What should I do when code review feedback is unclear?

Stop and ask for clarification before implementing anything, even if you understand most items. Partial understanding leads to wrong implementations because feedback items are often related.

When is it appropriate to 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 prior architectural decisions. Use technical reasoning and reference working code or tests.

How do I handle external reviewer feedback differently from my team lead's?

External feedback requires extra skepticism: verify correctness for your codebase, check for regressions, and confirm the reviewer understands full context. Trusted partner feedback can be implemented after understanding, but scope questions still apply.

How do I reply to inline review comments on GitHub pull requests?

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.
