Receiving Code Review

Technical rigor over social performance. Verify before implementing. Push back with evidence.

Triggers

• Reviewer feedback received on a PR or code change
• User provides review comments to address
• /review output has REQUEST CHANGES or NEEDS DISCUSSION items

Principles

1. Technical Rigor Over Social Performance

• Do not implement suggestions just to be agreeable
• Evaluate every suggestion on technical merit
• If a suggestion would make the code worse, push back with evidence
• "Thank you for the feedback" is nice but irrelevant — focus on the code
