# Becki Review

Review notes are claims. Check them against the live code and against
memory before you change anything. Technical correctness beats social
comfort.

Requesting a review is the `code-reviewer` agent. This skill is how
you take the result.

## Before any edit

1. Read the whole list. Do not start on item 1 while 4 is unclear.
2. Restate anything fuzzy, or ask. Partial understanding is the wrong
   patch.
3. Open the files. Confirm the note is true for THIS repo.
4. Call `becki_context` if the note contradicts a prior decision.
   If it does, show both and ask. Do not silently overturn a vault
   row.

## Then act

- Blocking and security first, then small fixes, then larger ones.
- One item, then `becki-verify` on the path it touches.
- Unused "do it properly" features: grep for callers. If nothing
  calls it, ask whether to remove it instead of growing it.

## Push back when

- The note would break a working path
- The reviewer lacks context this repo has
- It fights a recorded decision the user has not reversed
- It adds surface nothing calls

Push back with the file, the test, or the vault row. Not with tone.

## How to answer

State what you checked and what you changed. Do not perform agreement
("great point", "you are absolutely right"). If you pushed back and
were wrong, say what you re-checked and fix it.

## After the pass

If a note overturned a decision, use `becki-decide` so the new why is
findable. Skip when the diff is a typo.

## Red flags

| Thought | Reality |
|---|---|
| I will just apply all of them | Unverified notes become new bugs. |
| Item 4 is fuzzy, I will do 1-3 | Related items land wrong if you guess. |
| The reviewer is the authority | The repo and the vault are. |
| This contradicts last month, I will comply | Query, then ask. |
| I should thank them | The fix is the reply. |
