SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Receiving code review feedback often leads to two failure modes: performative agreement without verification, or blind implementation of suggestions that may break the codebase. This Skill enforces a disciplined response pattern so feedback is evaluated technically before any code changes are made. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Structured Response Pattern: Read, understand, verify against the codebase, evaluate, respond, then implement one item at a time with individual testing. - Source-Specific Handling: Different rules for trusted human partner feedback versus external reviewer suggestions, including pushback guidance and YAGNI checks for unused features. - Use Case: A reviewer on your GitHub pull request suggests removing legacy code and adding a metrics endpoint. Instead of agreeing immediately, you verify the legacy code is still needed for backward compatibility and grep the codebase to confirm the endpoint is never called, then push back with technical reasoning. ## Quick Start Use the receiving-code-review skill to evaluate and respond to the review comments on my current pull request before implementing anything.

FAQPage Schema
How should I respond to code review feedback before implementing it?▼

Read the complete feedback, restate each requirement in your own words, verify it against the actual codebase, then implement one item at a time with individual testing. Avoid performative agreement like "great point" and never implement before verification.

How do I handle unclear code review comments?▼

Stop and ask for clarification on every unclear item before implementing anything. Partial understanding leads to wrong implementations because feedback items are often related, so clarify all items first rather than implementing the ones you understand.

When should I push back on a code review suggestion?▼

Push back when a suggestion breaks existing functionality, violates YAGNI for unused features, is technically incorrect for your stack, or conflicts with prior architectural decisions. Use technical reasoning and reference working code or tests rather than being defensive.

Should I treat external reviewer feedback the same as my team lead's feedback?▼

No. Feedback from your trusted human partner can be implemented after understanding, while external reviewer suggestions require verification against the codebase first. If external feedback conflicts with your partner's prior decisions, stop and discuss before proceeding.

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, not as a top-level PR comment. This keeps the discussion attached to the specific line of code being reviewed.
