Act on feedback: Fix Critical issues immediately Fix Important issues before proceeding Note Minor issues for later Push back if reviewer is wrong (with reasoning) Example Integration with Workflows Subagent-Driven Development: Review after EACH task Catch issues before they compound Fix before moving to next task Executing Plans: Review after each batch (3 tasks) Get feedback, apply, continue Ad-Hoc Development: Review before merge Review when stuck Red Flags Never: Skip review because "it's simple" Ignore Critical issues Proceed with unfixed Important issues Argue with valid technical feedback If reviewer wrong: Push back with technical reasoning Show code/tests that prove it works Request clarification
