What is the YAGNI check in this context?

Claude will grep the codebase for actual usage before implementing 'proper' features suggested by reviewers to ensure the code remains lean and doesn't add unused complexity.

Why does this skill discourage saying 'Great point' or 'Thank you'?

The skill prioritizes technical actions over social performance. It aims to reduce noise in development threads by focusing strictly on the technical fix rather than performative agreement.

How does Claude handle feedback that seems incorrect?

Instead of blind compliance, this skill instructs Claude to provide reasoned technical pushback based on codebase reality, such as checking for breaking changes or compatibility issues.

What happens if code review feedback is unclear?

Claude will stop implementation immediately and request specific clarification. This prevents partial understandings that lead to wrong implementations or regressions.

Processes code review feedback with technical rigor by prioritizing verification over performative agreement.

About

This skill establishes a disciplined framework for Claude to handle code review feedback, ensuring that suggestions are technically validated before implementation. It shifts the interaction from social compliance to engineering excellence by mandating a verify-first approach, enforcing YAGNI (You Ain't Gonna Need It) principles, and providing protocols for reasoned pushback. This is particularly useful for maintaining codebase integrity when dealing with complex refactors, external contributions, or ambiguous instructions from human partners.
