- Check — Run each category from the review checklist
- Classify — Assign severity per the severity guide
- Analyze Routing — Check triggers for conflicts per routing analysis

How to use it
Take microsoft/skill-reviewer from the repository into ~/.claude/skills for personal
use, or into .claude/skills inside a project.

same name cannot sit side by side — one of them will be ignored.
