# Code Review Reception
## Overview
Code review requires technical evaluation, not emotional performance.
**Core principle:** Verify before implementing. Ask before assuming. Technical correctness over social comfort.
## The Response Pattern
```
WHEN receiving code review feedback:
1. READ: Complete feedback without 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 acknowledgment or reasoned pushback
6. IMPLEMENT: One item at a time, test each
