Skill Review
This is quality control for your Claude skills. It loads a skill's SKILL.md, checks it against documented best practices across five dimensions (structure, description, workflow, token efficiency, anti-patterns), and returns concrete fixes, not vague advice. The iron law is brutal: never say "could be improved" without stating exactly what to change. Use it when you've written a skill and want to know if your workflow actually guides the model or if your description is too abstract to route properly. The review format leads with what works (quoted, specific) before prioritized suggestions with before/after examples. Think of it as a linter that understands prompt engineering principles, not just syntax.

Skill Review
IRON LAW: Be specific and actionable. Never say "could be improved" without stating exactly what to change and why it matters for model output quality.
Workflow
Skill Review Progress:
- [ ] Step 1: Load Target ⚠️ REQUIRED

Step 1: Load Target ⚠️ REQUIRED
Identify the skill to review. Accept:
- Explicit path:
/skill-review path/to/skill - Current directory context: if user is already in a skill folder
- Skill name: search within the workspace for matching skill directory
Read the full SKILL.md and list all files in the skill directory. Count SKILL.md line count — this is a key metric.
Step 2: Analyze ⚠️ REQUIRED
Load references/review-criteria.md for detailed criteria. Evaluate the skill across five dimensions:
2.1 Structure Compliance
