handbook: Skill for Claude Code

.claude/skills/receiving-feedback/SKILL.md

receiving-feedback is a skill for Claude Code from nicograef/handbook. It costs 63 tokens per session (722 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for handling code-review comments from people or automated reviewers.

In plain words
What is it for?
Review feedback, restate it as concrete changes, verify whether it matches the existing code, and implement confirmed fixes.
Why use it?
It prevents blindly applying suggestions by checking each point against the codebase and identifying unclear requests first.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: installed under .claude/.

This is nicograef/handbook's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on handbook itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything handbook configures →

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-feedback 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 3d 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.

Receiving Feedback

Adapted from the MIT-licensed superpowers plugin.

Workflow

  1. Read all feedback first. Do not reply or start fixing item by item.
    • Items are often related; a partial read leads to a wrong fix.
  2. Restate each item as a concrete technical requirement in your own words.
    • Genuinely ambiguous item — mark it unclear instead of guessing.
  3. Any item unclear — ask about all unclear items before implementing anything.
    • Never implement the clear items first and ask later.
    • Resolving the unclear ones can change how the clear ones should be done.
  4. Verify each clear item against the actual codebase:
    • Does it match current behavior, or is the reviewer assuming something false?
    • Would the change break existing tests or other callers?
    • Is there a reason the code is the way it is?
    • Such reasons: compatibility, a prior decision, a constraint the reviewer may not see.
    • Is the suggestion actually used, or does it add something nothing calls (YAGNI)?
  5. Evaluate technical soundness for this stack.
    • A suggestion can be generically reasonable and still wrong for Nico's stack.
    • Judge it in that context, never in the abstract.
    • That context: the stack of the repo in hand, discovered per task.
  6. Push back with reasoning when a suggestion is wrong.
    • State the specific technical reason: a failing assumption, a broken test, a compatibility constraint.
    • Then propose an alternative, or ask which tradeoff to take.
  7. Implement one item at a time, in this order: blocking issues (bugs, security), then simple fixes, then complex/structural fixes.
    • Verify each one (tests, build, manual check) before moving to the next.
  8. Report back factually.
    • Implemented — what changed and where.
    • Not implemented — the item, plus the technical reason it was rejected.
    • Wrong pushback — you pushed back and were wrong: say so plainly, then fix it.

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.
