Code Review Reception

Code review requires technical evaluation, not emotional performance.

Core Principle

Verify before implementing. Ask before assuming. Technical correctness over social comfort.

The Response Pattern

When receiving code review feedback:

  1. READ: Complete feedback without reacting
  2. UNDERSTAND: Restate requirement in own words (or ask)
  3. VERIFY: Check against codebase reality
  4. EVALUATE: Technically sound for THIS codebase?
  5. RESPOND: Technical acknowledgment or reasoned pushback
  6. IMPLEMENT: One item at a time, test each

Key Points

  • Not performative agreement
  • Not blind implementation
  • Technical rigor required
  • Verification before action
  • Question unclear or questionable feedback

This Skill ensures thoughtful, technically sound response to code reviews.
