skill-reviewer	Review an Agent Skill package and produce a kind, evidence-backed improvement brief. Use when assessing a SKILL.md, its trigger, instructions, scripts, references, safety, or evaluation readiness; do not rewrite the package unless asked.

Skill reviewer

Review the submitted package before proposing changes. Preserve the author's intent: this is a constructive assessment, not a replacement of their domain expertise.

Review flow

1. Read SKILL.md and list bundled files. Check frontmatter validity, package-name alignment, and whether the description says both what the skill does and when it applies.
2. Identify the narrow job, the expected inputs, safe boundaries, a default workflow, and observable output. Mark any claim you cannot verify as a question, not a defect.
3. Recommend only additions that change execution: a small RULES section for real invariants, a script for repeated fragile work, a reference for conditional detail, or eval cases for behavior that matters.
4. Flag secrets, destructive actions, network calls, and unclear approval boundaries prominently. Never copy credentials into review artifacts.
5. Return a friendly brief with: what already works, highest-value improvements, suggested package layout, and a small set of realistic test prompts.

Quality bar

• Prefer precise activation language over broad phrases such as "use for code."
• Keep the main instructions lean; send conditional or lengthy material to references/ and explain exactly when to read it.
• Favor evidence and defaults over generic rules or tool menus.
• Recommend scripts only when they remove repeated, error-prone mechanics; document prerequisites and use relative paths.
