SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Code review feedback often triggers performative agreement or blind implementation, leading to broken code, unverified changes, and wasted effort on unnecessary features. This Skill enforces a disciplined response pattern: verify before implementing, ask before assuming, 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: Differentiates between trusted feedback from your human partner and external reviewer suggestions that require skeptical verification against the codebase. - YAGNI Enforcement: Checks whether suggested features are actually used in the codebase before implementing them. - Use Case: A reviewer on your GitHub PR suggests removing legacy code and adding a metrics endpoint. Instead of agreeing immediately, you verify the legacy code is needed for backward compatibility and grep the codebase to find the metrics endpoint is never called, then push back with technical reasoning. ## Quick Start Use the receiving-code-review skill to help me evaluate and respond to the review comments on my pull request before implementing any changes.

FAQPage Schema
How do I respond to code review feedback professionally?

Restate the technical requirement, verify it against your codebase, then either implement it or push back with technical reasoning. Avoid performative phrases like "great point" and instead state what you fixed or ask clarifying questions.

How to handle unclear code review comments before implementing?

Stop and ask for clarification on all unclear items before implementing anything. Partial understanding leads to wrong implementations, especially when feedback items are related to each other.

When should I push back on a code review suggestion?

Push back when a suggestion breaks existing functionality, violates YAGNI by adding 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 reply to inline review comments on GitHub pull requests?

Reply within the comment thread using the GitHub API endpoint for pull request comment replies rather than posting a top-level PR comment. This keeps the discussion threaded with the specific code line being reviewed.

Should I implement every suggestion from external reviewers?

No. External feedback should be treated as suggestions to evaluate, not orders. Verify each suggestion against your codebase, check for regressions and platform compatibility, and confirm the reviewer understands the full context before implementing.
