What problem does it solve?
This Skill prevents blind or performative acceptance of code review feedback by guiding developers to verify, clarify, and evaluate suggestions before implementation, reducing regressions and wasted work.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Structured Response Pattern: A six-step flow to read, restate, verify, evaluate, respond, and implement feedback safely.
- Unclear Feedback Handling: Rules to stop, ask clarifying questions, and avoid partial or incorrect implementations when items are ambiguous or interdependent.
- Source-Specific Handling & YAGNI Checks: Different verification and pushback strategies for human partners versus external reviewers, including grepping for usage before adding features.
- Prioritization & Safety: Instruction to implement blocking fixes first, then simple fixes, then complex refactors, with testing and regression checks after each change.
- Communication Guidance: Templates for technical acknowledgments, reasoned pushback, graceful corrections when wrong, and proper GitHub thread behavior.
Quick Start
Ask the assistant to restate each code review item, highlight anything unclear, verify proposed changes against the codebase, and suggest a prioritized, test-first implementation plan.
