# Receiving code review
## Mindset
- Reviewers surface risk you may have missed; treat feedback as input, not orders.
- Verify technical claims before changing code (read code, run tests).
## Workflow
1. **Read fully** — understand intent, not only the literal suggestion.
2. **Clarify** — if feedback is vague, ask one focused question before partial implementation.
3. **Verify** — reproduce issue or confirm the concern in code; do not assume the reviewer is correct.
4. **Prioritize** — correctness and security before style.
5. **Respond** — agree + fix, or disagree with evidence (snippet, test, spec).
6. **Batch** related fixes; avoid drive-by changes outside review scope.
7. **Confirm** — run verification before marking threads resolved.
## When to push back
- Suggestion breaks API contract without migration plan.
- Fix is out of PR scope (offer follow-up issue).
- Reviewer assumption is wrong (show counter-evidence).
## When to accept quickly
- Naming/clarity that matches project conventions.
- Missing tests for changed behavior.
- Security or data-handling gaps.
## Anti-patterns
- Defensive replies without technical substance.
- Blindly applying every suggestion without understanding.
- Scope creep disguised as "while we're here".
- Implementing every comment without verifying technical accuracy.
