review-implementing

name	review-implementing
description	Process and implement code review feedback systematically. Use when user provides reviewer comments, PR feedback, code review notes, or asks to implement suggestions from reviews. Activates on phrases like "implement this feedback", "address review comments", "fix review issues", "apply these suggestions", or when user pastes reviewer notes.

Review Feedback Implementation

Systematically process and implement changes based on code review feedback.

When to Use

Automatically activate when the user:

• Provides reviewer comments or feedback
• Pastes PR review notes
• Mentions implementing review suggestions
• Says "address these comments" or "implement feedback"
• Shares a list of changes requested by reviewers

Systematic Workflow

1. Parse Reviewer Notes

Identify individual feedback items:

• Split numbered lists (1., 2., etc.)
• Handle bullet points or unnumbered feedback
• Extract distinct change requests
• Clarify any ambiguous items before starting

2. Create Todo List

Use TodoWrite tool to create actionable tasks:

• Each feedback item becomes one or more todos
• Break down complex feedback into smaller tasks
• Make tasks specific and measurable
• Mark first task as in_progress before starting

Example:

- Add type hints to extract function
- Fix duplicate tag detection logic
- Update docstring in chain.py
- Add unit test for edge case

3. Implement Changes Systematically

For each todo item:

Locate relevant code:

• Use Grep to search for functions/classes
• Use Glob to find files by pattern
• Read current implementation

Make changes:

• Use Edit tool for modifications
• Follow project conventions (CLAUDE.md)
• Preserve existing functionality unless changing behavior

Verify changes:

• Check syntax correctness
• Run relevant tests if applicable
• Ensure changes address reviewer's intent

Update status:

• Mark todo as completed immediately after finishing
• Move to next todo (only one in_progress at a time)

4. Handle Different Feedback Types

Code changes:

• Use Edit tool for existing code
• Follow type hint conventions (PEP 604/585)
• Maintain consistent style

New features:

• Create new files with Write tool if needed
• Add corresponding tests
• Update documentation

Documentation:

• Update docstrings following project style
• Modify markdown files as needed
• Keep explanations concise

Tests:

• Write tests as functions, not classes
• Use descriptive names
• Follow pytest conventions

Refactoring:

• Preserve functionality
• Improve code structure
• Run tests to verify no regressions

5. Validation

After implementing changes:

• Run affected tests
• Check for linting errors: uv run ruff check
• Verify changes don't break existing functionality

6. Communication

Keep user informed:

• Update todo list in real-time
• Ask for clarification on ambiguous feedback
• Report blockers or challenges
• Summarize changes at completion

Edge Cases

Conflicting feedback:

• Ask user for guidance
• Explain the conflict clearly

Breaking changes required:

• Notify user before implementing
• Discuss impact and alternatives

Tests fail after changes:

• Fix tests before marking todo complete
• Ensure all related tests pass

Referenced code doesn't exist:

• Ask user for clarification
• Verify understanding before proceeding

Important Guidelines

• Always use TodoWrite for tracking progress
• Mark todos completed immediately after each item
• Only one todo in_progress at any time
• Don't batch completions - update status in real-time
• Ask questions for unclear feedback
• Run tests if changes affect tested code
• Follow CLAUDE.md conventions for all code changes
• Use conventional commits if creating commits afterward

Example

User: "Implement these review comments:

1. Add type hints to the extract function
2. Fix the duplicate tag detection logic
3. Update the docstring in chain.py"

Actions:

1. Create TodoWrite with 3 items
2. Mark item 1 as in_progress
3. Grep for extract function
4. Read file containing function
5. Edit to add type hints
6. Mark item 1 completed
7. Mark item 2 in_progress
8. Repeat process for remaining items
9. Summarize all changes made
