name: review-feedback-schema description: Schema for tracking code review outcomes to enable feedback-driven skill improvement. Use when logging review results or analyzing review quality.

Review Feedback Schema

Purpose

Structured format for logging code review outcomes. This data enables:

1. Identifying rules that produce false positives
2. Tracking skill accuracy over time
3. Automated skill improvement via pattern analysis

Schema

date,file,line,rule_source,category,severity,issue,verdict,rationale

Field	Type	Description	Example Values
date	ISO date	When review occurred	2025-12-23
file	path	Relative file path	amelia/agents/developer.py
line	string	Line number(s)	128, 190-191
rule_source	string	Skill and rule that triggered issue	python-code-review/common-mistakes:unused-variables, pydantic-ai-common-pitfalls:tool-decorator
category	enum	Issue taxonomy	type-safety, async, error-handling, style, patterns, testing, security
severity	enum	As flagged by reviewer	critical, major, minor
issue	string	Brief description	Return type list[Any] loses type safety
verdict	enum	Human decision	ACCEPT, REJECT, DEFER, ACKNOWLEDGE
rationale	string	Why verdict was chosen	pydantic-ai docs explicitly support this pattern

Verdict Types

Verdict	Meaning	Action
ACCEPT	Issue is valid, will fix	Code change made
REJECT	Issue is invalid/wrong	No change; may improve skill
DEFER	Valid but not fixing now	Tracked for later
ACKNOWLEDGE	Valid but intentional	Document why it's intentional

When to Use Each

ACCEPT: The reviewer correctly identified a real issue.

2025-12-27,amelia/agents/developer.py,128,python-code-review:type-safety,type-safety,major,Return type list[Any] loses type safety,ACCEPT,Changed to list[AgentMessage]

REJECT: The reviewer was wrong - the code is correct.

2025-12-23,amelia/drivers/api/openai.py,102,python-code-review:line-length,style,minor,Line too long (104 > 100),REJECT,ruff check passes - no E501 violation exists

DEFER: Valid issue but out of scope for current work.

2025-12-22,api/handlers.py,45,fastapi-code-review:error-handling,error-handling,minor,Missing specific exception type,DEFER,Refactoring planned for Q1

ACKNOWLEDGE: Intentional design decision.

2025-12-21,core/cache.py,89,python-code-review:optimization,patterns,minor,Using dict instead of dataclass,ACKNOWLEDGE,Performance-critical path - intentional

Rule Source Format

Format: skill-name/section:rule-id or skill-name:rule-id

Examples:

• python-code-review/common-mistakes:unused-variables
• pydantic-ai-common-pitfalls:tool-decorator
• fastapi-code-review:dependency-injection
• pytest-code-review:fixture-scope

Use the skill folder name and identify the specific rule or section that triggered the issue.

Category Taxonomy

Category	Description	Examples
type-safety	Type annotation issues	Missing types, incorrect types, Any usage
async	Async/await issues	Blocking in async, missing await
error-handling	Exception handling	Bare except, missing error handling
style	Code style/formatting	Line length, naming conventions
patterns	Design patterns	Anti-patterns, framework misuse
testing	Test quality	Missing coverage, flaky tests
security	Security issues	Injection, secrets exposure

Writing Good Rationales

For ACCEPT

Explain what you fixed:

• "Changed Exception to (FileNotFoundError, OSError)"
• "Fixed using model_copy(update={...})"
• "Removed unused Any import"

For REJECT

Explain why the issue is invalid:

• "ruff check passes - no E501 violation exists" (linter authoritative)
• "pydantic-ai docs explicitly support this pattern" (framework idiom)
• "Intentional optimization documented in code comment" (documented decision)

For DEFER

Explain when/why it will be addressed:

• "Tracked in issue #123"
• "Refactoring planned for Q1"
• "Blocked on dependency upgrade"

For ACKNOWLEDGE

Explain why it's intentional:

• "Performance-critical path per CLAUDE.md"
• "Legacy API compatibility requirement"
• "Matches upstream library pattern"

How This Feeds Into Skill Improvement

1. Aggregate by rule_source: Identify which rules have high REJECT rates
2. Analyze rationales: Find common themes in rejections
3. Update skills: Add exceptions, clarifications, or verification steps
4. Track impact: Measure if changes reduce rejection rate

See review-skill-improver skill for the full analysis workflow.

Improvement Signals

Pattern	Skill Improvement
"linter passes" rejections	Add linter verification step before flagging style issues
"docs support this" rejections	Add exception for documented framework patterns
"intentional" rejections	Add codebase context check before flagging
"wrong code path" rejections	Add code tracing step before claiming gaps
