name: review-reception description: Use when receiving code review feedback before implementing suggestions, especially if unclear or questionable. allowed-tools: ["shell", "read_file", "apply_patch", "update_plan"] metadata: short-description: Evaluate and apply review feedback rigorously

Review Reception

Read these references:

• ~/.config/agent/core/behavior.md - Evidence-based reasoning
• ~/.config/agent/domain/review/priorities.md - Review focus areas

Overview

Code review requires technical evaluation, not performative agreement.

Core principle: Verify before implementing. Ask before assuming.

Response Pattern

1. Read all feedback without reacting
2. Understand each item (or ask for clarification)
3. Verify against codebase reality
4. Evaluate whether it is correct for this codebase
5. Respond with technical acknowledgment or reasoned pushback
6. Implement one item at a time and test each

Handling Unclear Feedback

If any item is unclear, stop and ask for clarification before implementing anything.

Implementation Order

1. Blocking issues (breaks, security)
2. Simple fixes (typos, imports)
3. Complex fixes (refactors, logic)
4. Test each change and verify no regressions

When to Push Back

Push back when:

• Suggestion breaks existing behavior
• Reviewer lacks context
• Violates YAGNI
• Conflicts with prior architectural decisions

Use technical reasoning and evidence.
