How does this skill handle unclear feedback?

If any part of the feedback is unclear, the skill stops implementation entirely and asks for clarification. This prevents partial understandings from leading to wrong implementations.

Does this skill work with GitHub?

Yes, it includes specific patterns for replying to inline GitHub review comments via the API, ensuring replies stay within the correct discussion threads.

Why does this skill discourage saying 'You're absolutely right'?

To avoid performative agreement. The skill prioritizes technical correctness and verification over social validation, ensuring that code changes are made based on logic rather than compliance.

What is the 'YAGNI' check in this skill?

When a reviewer suggests 'implementing properly,' the skill greps the codebase for actual usage. If the feature is unused, it suggests removal rather than complex implementation.

How does it handle external reviewers vs. human partners?

It treats human partners as trusted but still requires clarity, while external feedback is treated with skepticism, requiring checks for breaking changes and platform compatibility before proceeding.

コラボレーションツール

Enforces a technical verification protocol for processing code review feedback without performative agreement or blind implementation.

This skill transforms how Claude handles code review feedback by prioritizing technical rigor over social compliance. It enforces a structured workflow—Read, Understand, Verify, Evaluate, Respond, and Implement—ensuring that suggestions are technically sound for the specific codebase before any changes are applied. By eliminating 'performative agreement' and expressions of gratitude, the skill focuses on objective verification, YAGNI (You Ain't Gonna Need It) principles, and clear communication. It is particularly effective for managing complex feedback loops where clarity and technical correctness are more important than social comfort.
