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 be technically wrong for the codebase. This Skill enforces a disciplined response pattern so feedback is evaluated, clarified, and implemented correctly. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Structured Response Pattern: Read, understand, verify against the codebase, evaluate, respond, then implement one item at a time with testing. - Source-Specific Handling: Different rules for trusted human partner feedback versus external reviewer suggestions, including pushback guidance and YAGNI checks. - Use Case: A reviewer suggests removing legacy code. Instead of agreeing immediately, you check build targets and platform requirements, discover backward-compatibility constraints, and respond with technical reasoning before changing anything. ## Quick Start Use the receiving-code-review skill to evaluate and respond to the review comments on my pull request before implementing any changes.

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

Read the full feedback, restate the requirement in your own words, verify it against the actual codebase, then respond with technical acknowledgment or reasoned pushback. Implement one item at a time and test each change individually.

How do I handle unclear code review comments?▼

Stop and ask for clarification before implementing anything, even if other items are clear. Partial understanding leads to wrong implementations because feedback items are often related.

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.

Should I treat external reviewer feedback differently from my team lead's feedback?▼

Yes. Trusted partner feedback can be implemented after understanding, while external suggestions require verification against the codebase first. If external feedback conflicts with prior decisions, discuss with your partner 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 code line being reviewed.
