Rigorous Code Review Reception

About

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.

Key Features

• Strict verification-first workflow to prevent incorrect or breaking changes.
• 1 GitHub stars
• Structured clarification process for ambiguous or multi-part feedback.
• Context-aware handling of external vs. internal reviewer suggestions.
• Elimination of performative language to maintain professional technical focus.

Use Cases

• Providing reasoned technical pushback when suggested changes conflict with existing architecture.
• Processing detailed technical feedback from senior developers on GitHub PRs.
• Handling ambiguous 'fix this' instructions by requiring total clarity before implementation.
