review-implementing_skill

Overview

This skill processes and implements code review feedback in a systematic, traceable way. It turns reviewer comments into discrete todos, applies changes following project conventions, runs validations, and keeps the requester informed throughout the process.

How this skill works

The skill parses reviewer notes into individual actionable items, creates a prioritized todo list, and marks the first task in_progress. For each todo it locates relevant code, makes edits or adds files, writes tests or docs when needed, and verifies changes by running tests and lint checks. Todos are marked completed immediately after verification and progress is reported in real time.

When to use it

• You have reviewer comments, PR feedback, or pasted code review notes to implement
• You ask to “address these comments” or “implement feedback” on a PR
• You need review suggestions broken into actionable development tasks
• You want code changes, tests, or docs updated to reflect reviewer requests

Best practices

• Parse and break feedback into small, specific todos before editing code
• Keep only one todo in_progress at a time and mark completed immediately after verification
• Preserve existing functionality unless the review explicitly requires behavior changes
• Run affected tests and linting (e.g., uv run ruff check) before marking tasks done
• Ask clarifying questions for ambiguous or conflicting feedback

Example use cases

• Convert a reviewer’s numbered PR comments into a TodoWrite task list and implement each change
• Fix a failing edge-case test requested in a code review, then add a new unit test
• Update docstrings and markdown per reviewer suggestions while following project conventions
• Refactor duplicate logic as requested and verify no regressions by running the test suite
• Add type hints and small API improvements cited in a review and commit with conventional commit messages
