Skill PR Reviewer

Performs thorough, structured code reviews of skill PRs — severity-classified findings with actionable fixes, positive acknowledgment, and a summary table.

When to Use

  • Reviewing a PR that adds or modifies a skill under
    plugin/skills/
    or
    .github/skills/
  • Checking skill compliance before submitting a PR
  • Auditing an existing skill for quality issues

💡 Note:

.github/skills/
meta-skills have different conventions — checklist sections 8-9 apply only to
plugin/skills/
service skills.

Review Workflow

  1. Collect — Identify all changed skill files (SKILL.md, references, tests, scripts)
  2. Check — Run each category from the review checklist
  3. Classify — Assign severity per the severity guide
  4. Analyze Routing — Check triggers for conflicts per routing analysis
  5. Draft — Write the review per the output format
  6. Validate — Verify suggested fixes are actionable with accurate file/line references
