Receiving code review skill

Receiving code review is part of Superpowers, Jesse Vincent's development method. Its job is to verify review feedback before acting on it, and push back when it is wrong. It loads on its own when a request matches its description, and you can also call it by name.

When the agent reaches for it

The agent keeps every installed skill's description in view and loads the full instructions when a request matches. This is the description it reads:

Use when receiving code review feedback, before implementing suggestions, especially if feedback seems unclear or technically questionable - requires technical rigor and verification, not performative agreement or blind implementation
