SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? After receiving a code review, an agent must decide which findings are technically valid, implement accepted fixes, and document the reasoning for every accept or reject decision. This Skill enforces a rigorous, anti-sycophancy evaluation protocol so responses are grounded in the actual codebase rather than the reviewer's framing. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Finding evaluation protocol: Parses numbered findings (F, W, T, R, S, and legacy -L variants) and applies hard-gate rules requiring verification against the actual code before acceptance. - Structured change summary artifact: Produces a coder_change-summary markdown artifact with YAML frontmatter, per-finding ACCEPT/REJECT/PARTIAL dispositions, rationale, and action taken, saved into the run directory. - Diff audit and commit integration: Verifies implemented fixes against the diff before writing the response and commits accepted changes via the create-commit skill. - Use Case: A reviewer flags that a constant should move to a config module; the agent reads the destination file's stated doctrine, accepts or rejects with cited evidence, implements accepted fixes, and saves a dispositioned change summary. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to respond to the most recent code review for the current ticket, or pass a path to a specific review file to disposition its findings.

FAQPage Schema
How do I respond to a code review with this skill?

Invoke the skill with no arguments to auto-locate the most recent reviewer_review artifact in the active run, or pass a file path to respond to a specific review. The agent evaluates each finding, implements accepted fixes, and saves a change summary.

What dispositions can be assigned to review findings?

Each finding receives ACCEPT, REJECT, or PARTIAL based on technical substance verified against the codebase. Legacy findings with an -L suffix only support ACCEPT or REJECT, and ACCEPT (follow-up) is not a valid disposition.

How does the skill decide whether to accept a review finding?

The agent reads the actual referenced code, checks the claim's correctness, treats hedged language as an unverified hypothesis, and requires affirmative evidence for structural move recommendations. Acceptance requires verification; rejection is the default when premises cannot be confirmed.

Where is the review response saved?

The response is saved as a timestamped coder_change-summary markdown file in the same run directory where the review was found, with dispositions embedded in the document rather than in a separate artifact.

What happens if the review contains no findings?

The skill produces a change summary noting that no findings require disposition and omits the Dispositions section. No commit is created when the response implements no fixes.
