receiving-code-review

A decision guide for evaluating automated code-review findings before changing the code. It covers reading, checking, judging, responding to, and implementing review suggestions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when a bot reports a code issue and you need to verify whether the finding is valid before fixing or declining it.
Why use it?
It helps prevent developers from applying review comments that are incorrect, incomplete, or inconsistent with the codebase.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

receiving-code-review scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 122 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Receiving Code Review — Judgment Layer

Code review requires technical evaluation, not emotional performance. This skill guides the EVALUATE step that sits between reading a bot finding and touching any code.

Core principle: Verify before implementing. Technical correctness over performative compliance.

Scope note: This file is the judgment layer. The mechanical loop — polling endpoints, batching fixes, replying to threads, resolving via GraphQL — belongs to cr-github-review.md. Do not duplicate that loop here.

The Six-Step Response Pattern

WHEN a bot reviewer (coderabbitai[bot], cursor[bot], greptile-apps[bot],
     codeant-ai[bot], graphite-app[bot]) posts a finding:

1. READ:        Complete the finding without reacting
2. UNDERSTAND:  Restate the requirement in your own words (or flag if unclear)
3. VERIFY:      Check against codebase reality — open the actual file
4. EVALUATE:    Is this finding technically sound FOR THIS codebase?
5. RESPOND:     Technical acknowledgment or reasoned decline with evidence
6. IMPLEMENT:   Only valid findings, one at a time, per cr-github-review.md

STOP before step 6 if you have not completed steps 3 and 4. Incomplete verification = incomplete review.

Step 3 — VERIFY maps to our verification step

"Check against the actual file" in step 3 is the same verification step described in cr-local-review.md. Specifically: open the file the finding references, read the surrounding context, confirm whether the code matches the reviewer's claim. Do not rely on memory or the diff alone.

Step 5 — RESPOND respects reply conventions

How you reply depends on the reviewer:

  • coderabbitai[bot]: Replies teach CodeRabbit's model. Use @coderabbitai in a PR-level comment for general context; inline replies for thread-specific responses.
  • cursor[bot] (BugBot) / greptile-apps[bot]: Plain text only. Do NOT include @cursor or @greptileai in reply comments — each mention triggers a new paid review. For the exact reply-format table see .claude/reference/greptile-reply-format.md.
  • codeant-ai[bot] / graphite-app[bot]: Plain text inline replies.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

receiving-code-review is a skill published in the GitHub repository auerbachb/claude-code-config (5 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 59 tokens to every session and 1,564 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
