Skill Reviewer

microsoft/github-copilot-for-azureOfficial

This reviews skill PRs the same way you'd want your own code reviewed: structured findings with severity ratings (blocking, should-fix, nit), specific file and line references, and actionable fixes. It checks token budgets, routing conflicts, required sections like error handling and references, and repo conventions. The workflow is straightforward: collect changed files, run the checklist, classify issues, analyze trigger routing for conflicts, then draft a review with a summary table. It distinguishes between service skills in plugin/skills/ and meta-skills in .github/skills/, which have different requirements. If you maintain a skill repository and want consistent, thorough PR feedback without manually cross-checking conventions every time, this handles the tedious parts.

Files

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 plugins/{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 plugins/{plugin}/skills/ service skills.

Review Workflow

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