What problem does it solve?
This Skill prevents performative or premature responses to code review by enforcing verification, clarification, and evidence-based decisions before implementation. It helps developers avoid blind acceptance, incorrect fixes, and scope creep when handling reviewer suggestions.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Structured Response Pattern: Follow the READ → UNDERSTAND → VERIFY → EVALUATE → RESPOND → IMPLEMENT workflow to process feedback reliably.
- Handling Unclear Feedback: Stop and ask clarifying questions when any item is ambiguous to avoid partial or incorrect implementation.
- Source-Specific Guidance: Differentiate trusted partner feedback from external reviewers and apply skepticism, context checks, and YAGNI reasoning as appropriate.
- Prioritization and Safety: Order fixes by severity (blocking, simple, complex), test each change individually, and verify no regressions before marking items done.
- Professional Pushback: Provide concise, technical pushback with evidence when suggestions are incorrect and escalate to your human partner for architectural conflicts.
Quick Start
Assess this code review thread and produce a verified action plan listing unclear items to clarify, checks to run against the codebase, prioritized fixes, and suggested reply text.
