Acting on Report Feedback
Getting feedback is only valuable if you know how to use it. This guide helps you prioritize fixes, create an action plan, and turn feedback into long-term learning.

Start with the highest-impact issues
Not every finding carries the same weight. In your AI code review, work through them roughly in this order:
- Needs attention: clearer problems, like inaccessible markup or likely bugs, that affect how your solution works.
- Suggestions: improvements that raise the quality of your code, like clearer naming, better structure, or cleaner CSS.
- Strengths: nothing to fix here. Read these to see what's already working so you keep doing it.
In the automated checks, the same idea applies by severity: errors first, then warnings, then info.
Make a quick plan
You don't need anything fancy. A short list works well: a few must-fix items, a few worth doing, and a few nice-to-haves. Working through them in that order keeps you focused on what matters most.
When a finding looks wrong
Automated tools and AI review can occasionally misread context-specific code. If a finding genuinely doesn't apply, it's fine to move on. It's still worth a moment's thought, though. If a tool found your code confusing, another developer might too, and a small change could make your intent clearer.
Regenerate to check your work
After making changes, regenerate your report to confirm your fixes landed, catch anything they affected, and see your updated scores. Generating an AI code review uses one of your monthly credits if you're on the free plan, so it's worth batching your changes and regenerating once you've worked through them.
Aim for progress, not perfection
The goal of a report is learning, not a perfect score. Past a certain point, chasing the last few findings gives diminishing returns. Fix what teaches you something, then carry that into your next challenge.
Build habits over time
The real value shows up across challenges. Keep an eye on findings that recur, because those patterns point to the habits worth building. Fixing the same kind of issue once is useful. Noticing that you keep making it, and changing how you work, is where the growth happens.
