SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps developers avoid performative agreement when code review feedback is unclear or potentially technically questionable, by enforcing a verification-first approach and structured clarification.

Core Features & Use Cases

READ: Absorb feedback completely without reacting, preserving context.
UNDERSTAND: Restate the requirement in your own words or ask clarifying questions.
VERIFY: Check feedback against the current codebase and project constraints.
EVALUATE: Assess technical feasibility and correctness for THIS codebase.
RESPOND: Provide technical acknowledgment or reasoned pushback, not praise.
IMPLEMENT: Tackle items one at a time, with targeted tests after each change.
Handling Unclear Feedback: If any item is unclear, STOP and request clarification before proceeding.

Quick Start

When feedback arrives, READ, UNDERSTAND, and VERIFY in order; 2) If items are unclear, ASK for clarification; 3) Implement items one at a time, testing after each change.

FAQPage Schema

When should I pushback on a code review suggestion?▼

Handle code review feedback by verifying suggestions against the current codebase first. Evaluate technical soundness for your specific project constraints, then respond with reasoned pushback or targeted implementation.

How do I handle code review feedback that seems technically incorrect?▼

What is the best way to process pull request comments without performative agreement?▼

Process pull request comments by reading completely, restating requirements in your own words, and verifying against the codebase. Provide technical acknowledgment or reasoned pushback instead of praise to ensure technical rigor.

How do I ask for clarification on unclear code review items?▼

Ask for clarification on unclear code review items by stopping immediately when feedback is ambiguous. Request specific details before proceeding to ensure changes align with actual technical requirements.

How to implement code review changes one item at a time?▼

Implement code review changes one item at a time by tackling each suggestion sequentially. Apply targeted tests after each individual change to verify technical correctness before moving to the next item.

When should I pushback on a code review suggestion?▼

Pushback on a code review suggestion when verification against the codebase reveals technical infeasibility or incorrectness. Provide clear rationale explaining why the proposed change does not fit project constraints.
