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

  • 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

Error Handling

| Error | Remediation |

|-------|-------------|

| Cannot determine changed files | Ask user for the file list or PR number |

| Token counting unavailable | Estimate at ~4 chars per token |

How to use it

Copy the folder

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

Check the name does not clash

The agent identifies a skill by the name field in its header. Two skills with the same name cannot sit side by side — one of them will be ignored.
