Code Review Reception

About

This skill equips Claude with a structured framework for handling code review feedback from both human partners and external reviewers. Instead of blind implementation or social pleasantries, it enforces a verify-then-act workflow that includes restating requirements, checking codebase reality, and providing reasoned technical pushback. It is particularly useful for maintaining architectural integrity, avoiding unnecessary YAGNI features, and ensuring that unclear feedback is clarified before any code changes are made.

Key Features

• Provides specific protocols for handling unclear or conflicting feedback
• Eliminates performative agreement to focus on technical correctness
• Enforces a structured multi-item implementation and testing order
• Verifies feedback against the actual codebase before implementation
• 0 GitHub stars
• Identifies and pushes back on YAGNI (You Ain't Gonna Need It) suggestions

Use Cases

• Processing complex pull request comments from external team members
• Evaluating whether suggested best practice refactors are necessary for current project scope
• Clarifying ambiguous instructions from a human partner before modifying critical logic
