What it does

Superpowers Receiving Code Review is an agent skill from christopherarter/superpowers-reasonix. Got review feedback? Load BEFORE changing anything — verify each point, push back if wrong.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Development, covering Code review. The repository describes itself as: Superpowers skill port to Reasonix coding harness. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Code review

Example prompts

  • “/superpowers-receiving-code-review”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit d202ba4. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • gh

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use gh, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Superpowers Receiving Code Review loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 31 tokens; SKILL.md has 316 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~31
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.2k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Code Review Reception

Overview

Code review = technical evaluation. Not emotional performance.

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

The Response Pattern

WHEN receiving code review feedback:

1. READ: Full feedback, no 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 ack or reasoned pushback
6. IMPLEMENT: One item at a time, test each

Forbidden Responses

NEVER:

  • "You're absolutely right!" (performative agreement)
  • "Great point!" / "Excellent feedback!" (performative)
  • "Let me implement that now" (before verification)

INSTEAD: restate technical requirement; ask clarifying questions; push back with technical reasoning if wrong; or just start working (actions > words).

Handling Unclear Feedback

IF any item unclear:
  STOP - implement nothing yet
  ASK for clarification on unclear items

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

Example:

Partner: "Fix 1-6"
You understand 1,2,3,6. Unclear on 4,5.

❌ WRONG: Implement 1,2,3,6 now, ask 4,5 later
✅ RIGHT: "Understand items 1,2,3,6. Need clarification on 4 and 5 before proceeding."

Source-Specific Handling

From your human partner
  • Trusted — implement after understanding
  • Still ask if scope unclear
  • No performative agreement — skip to action or technical ack
From External Reviewers (or a reviewer subagent)
BEFORE implementing:
  1. Technically correct for THIS codebase?
  2. Breaks existing functionality?
  3. Reason for the current implementation?
  4. Works on all platforms/versions?
  5. Does the reviewer understand full context?

IF suggestion seems wrong: push back with technical reasoning
IF can't easily verify: "I can't verify this without [X]. Should I [investigate/ask/proceed]?"
IF conflicts with your human partner's prior decisions: stop and discuss first

Rule: External feedback — stay skeptical. Check carefully.

YAGNI Check for "Professional" Features

IF reviewer suggests "implementing properly":
  grep codebase for actual usage
  IF unused: "Endpoint isn't called. Remove it (YAGNI)?"
  IF used: implement properly

Implementation Order

FOR multi-item feedback:
  1. Clarify anything unclear FIRST
  2. Then implement in order:
     - Blocking issues (breaks, security)
     - Simple fixes (typos, imports)
     - Complex fixes (refactoring, logic)
  3. Test each fix individually
  4. Verify no regressions

When To Push Back

Push back when suggestion: breaks existing functionality; comes from reviewer lacking full context; violates YAGNI (unused feature); is technically incorrect for this stack; ignores legacy/compatibility reasons; conflicts with your human partner's architectural decisions.

How: technical reasoning, not defensiveness; ask specific questions; reference working tests/code; involve your human partner if architectural.

Acknowledging Correct Feedback

✅ "Fixed. [what changed]"
✅ "Good catch - [specific issue]. Fixed in [location]."
✅ [Just fix it; show it in code]

❌ "You're absolutely right!"  ❌ "Great point!"  ❌ "Thanks for catching that!"
❌ ANY gratitude expression

Why no thanks: actions speak. Just fix it — code shows you heard. Catch yourself writing "Thanks"? Delete it. State the fix.

Gracefully Correcting Your Pushback

Pushed back, but wrong:

✅ "You were right - checked [X], it does [Y]. Implementing now."
✅ "Verified, you're correct. My understanding was wrong because [reason]. Fixing."

❌ Long apology   ❌ Defending why you pushed back   ❌ Over-explaining

State correction factually. Move on.

Common Mistakes

MistakeFix
Performative agreementState requirement or just act
Blind implementationVerify against codebase first
Batch without testingOne at a time, test each
Assuming reviewer is rightCheck if it breaks things
Avoiding pushbackTechnical correctness > comfort
Partial implementationClarify all items first
Can't verify, proceed anywayState limitation, ask for direction

GitHub Thread Replies

Replying to inline GitHub review comments? Reply in the thread (gh api repos/{owner}/{repo}/pulls/{pr}/comments/{id}/replies), not as a top-level PR comment.

The Bottom Line

External feedback = suggestions to evaluate, not orders to follow.

Evaluate each item against the actual code before acting. Push back on what's wrong. No performative agreement. Technical rigor always.
