See setup guidance ↓Original source ↗ SOURCE REVIEW Reviewed 2026-09-21 Evidence 6 linked sources Publisher Jesse Vincent / Superpowers Licence MIT ↗ Revision 5bf4e7801107 Read what was—and wasn’t—checked ↓ “Use when receiving code review feedback, before implementing suggestions, especially if feedback seems unclear or technically questionable - requires technical rigor and verification, not” Jesse Vincent / Superpowers · upstream description ↗ Our analysis follows below. 01 / THE REASONING ## Why this made the selection. - Treats reviewer suggestions as hypotheses to verify, with explicit checks for existing behavior, platform constraints and unused functionality. - Encourages evidence-based pushback and one change at a time with verification, instead of changing code merely to satisfy a comment. ### A good fit for - Working through a pull-request review - Deciding whether a suggested refactor or fix is actually appropriate ### Weigh up before choosing - Its conversational tone rules are a style preference, and its pause-on-ambiguity rule may be too restrictive for independent review items. - It does not supply a test harness or prove a reviewer is wrong; source evidence and the project’s own checks remain necessary. - The GitHub reply example names an endpoint but omits the request method and body; use current GitHub CLI/API guidance before posting. 02 / THE REVIEW RECORD ## What we actually inspected. Source review has boundaries. A clear record is more useful than a “safe” badge. ### Material inspected - skills/receiving-code-review/SKILL.md - README.md (installation, compatibility and licence sections) - LICENSE ### Our findings - The complete definition distinguishes clarification, technical disagreement and implementation, and asks the agent to state what it cannot verify. - Replying to GitHub comments is an external write, separate from inspecting feedback or preparing code changes. ### Not established by this review - No review comments were acted on and no GitHub replies were sent. The review applies to the material and revision named here. A newer upstream release can change its behavior. 03 / PUT IT TO WORK ## Add a skill to your workflow. Upstream setup instructions ↗ DOCUMENTED COMMAND npx skills add https://github.com/obra/superpowers/tree/5bf4e78011075bcfc0dc295f0724994cd123ee71/skills/receiving-code-review Copy command ↗ Copying does not execute this command. It may retrieve a newer version than the reviewed source. - Install the receiving-code-review directory. - Provide the review and its target revision, then authorize the desired code changes or posted replies separately as appropriate. - Choose the intended host and project scope in the installer. The source revision is pinned; the installer itself is not executed or version-pinned by this review. ### Before you start - Node.js/npm and git for the documented Skills installer - Review comments and the relevant current code - Project test tools; GitHub access only if you authorize posting a response ### Compatibility Claude Code · Codex ### Review comments, code and tests - Read feedback and repository behavior - Edit and test accepted fixes - Post review replies only when requested ### Cost model MIT-licensed instructions; agent, test infrastructure and optional GitHub service usage are separate. 04 / FOLLOW THE EVIDENCE ## The source trail. Our notes are separate from the original resource. Check upstream before adopting a new version. - Skill definition at reviewed revision ↗ Checked 2026-09-21 https://github.com/obra/superpowers/blob/5bf4e78011075bcfc0dc295f0724994cd123ee71/skills/receiving-code-review/SKILL.md Supports: summary, upstreamDescription, whySelected, bestFor, limitations, review, access - Publisher installation, compatibility and licensing guidance ↗ Checked 2026-09-21 https://github.com/obra/superpowers/blob/5bf4e78011075bcfc0dc295f0724994cd123ee71/README.md Supports: install, compatibility, access, license - Upstream licence at reviewed revision ↗ Checked 2026-09-21 https://github.com/obra/superpowers/blob/5bf4e78011075bcfc0dc295f0724994cd123ee71/LICENSE Supports: license, access.cost - Skills installer: source formats and repeated skill selection ↗ Checked 2026-09-21 https://github.com/vercel-labs/skills/blob/7407f3893ad4dceab546ac002c3ef806e4000c73/README.md Supports: install - Skills installer: full commit SHA checkout support ↗ Checked 2026-09-21 https://github.com/vercel-labs/skills/blob/7407f3893ad4dceab546ac002c3ef806e4000c73/src/git.ts Supports: install - Skills installer: tree revision and subdirectory parsing ↗ Checked 2026-09-21 https://github.com/vercel-labs/skills/blob/7407f3893ad4dceab546ac002c3ef806e4000c73/src/source-parser.ts Supports: install KEEP COMPARING ## Other approaches to consider.
