Receiving Feedback

When to Use

• Receiving review comments on code, specs, design docs, PRDs, proposals, plans, or prose.
• Feedback seems unclear, contradictory, or technically questionable.
• External feedback (PR comments, forwarded notes, stakeholder input) arrives without full context.
• Multiple feedback items where some are unclear and you're tempted to act on the clear ones first.

When Not to Use

• You are the one giving feedback (use code-review instead).
• Feedback is a simple typo fix or formatting correction with no ambiguity — just fix it.

Overview

Verify against ground truth before revising. Ask before assuming. Correctness over social comfort.
