How does the skill handle unclear feedback?

It enforces a full stop on implementation. Claude is instructed to ask for clarification on all items before proceeding to ensure related changes aren't implemented incorrectly.

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

To ensure technical rigor over social performance. The goal is to verify the technical correctness of a suggestion against the codebase rather than providing performative agreement.

When should Claude push back on a reviewer?

Pushback is required when a suggestion breaks functionality, lacks full context, violates YAGNI, or conflicts with established architectural decisions.

What is the YAGNI check in this context?

YAGNI stands for 'You Ain't Gonna Need It.' The skill requires checking the codebase for actual usage before implementing 'proper' features that might be unnecessary bloat.

Processes code review feedback with technical rigor and objective verification to ensure architectural integrity and YAGNI compliance.

This skill optimizes how Claude handles code review feedback by prioritizing technical correctness over social politeness. It establishes a structured response pattern that mandates verification against the codebase, rigorous evaluation of suggestions, and specific protocols for pushing back against incorrect or out-of-context recommendations. By eliminating performative agreement and focusing on actionable, tested implementation, it ensures that only verified and necessary changes are integrated into the codebase while maintaining strict adherence to the project's source of truth.
