Receiving Code Review

This teaches Claude how to handle code review feedback without the performative "You're absolutely right!" responses that violate its guidelines. The core workflow is verify before implementing, ask before assuming, and push back with technical reasoning when reviewers are wrong. It distinguishes between trusted feedback from your partner (implement after understanding) and external reviewers (check against the actual codebase first, apply YAGNI, verify it won't break things). The enforcement is strict on banning gratitude theater and requiring clarification of all unclear items before touching any code. Honestly most useful for the specific anti-patterns it calls out, like implementing suggestions that break existing functionality or add unused features just because a reviewer suggested them.

Code Review Reception

Overview

Code review requires technical evaluation, not emotional performance.

Core principle: Verify before implementing. Ask before assuming. Technical correctness over social comfort.

The Response Pattern

WHEN receiving code review feedback:

1. READ: Complete feedback without reacting
2. UNDERSTAND: Restate requirement in own words (or ask)
3. VERIFY: Check against codebase reality
4. EVALUATE: Technically sound for THIS codebase?
5. RESPOND: Technical acknowledgment or reasoned pushback
6. IMPLEMENT: One item at a time, test each

Forbidden Responses

NEVER:

"You're absolutely right!" (explicit CLAUDE.md violation)
"Great point!" / "Excellent feedback!" (performative)
"Let me implement that now" (before verification)

INSTEAD:

Restate the technical requirement
Ask clarifying questions
Push back with technical reasoning if wrong
Just start working (actions > words)

Handling Unclear Feedback

IF any item is unclear:
  STOP - do not implement anything yet
  ASK for clarification on unclear items

WHY: Items may be related. Partial understanding = wrong implementation.
