Reviews Claude Code skills against official best practices, with modes for self-review, external repo evaluation, and automated improvement PRs.

What it does

  • Runs the bundled review_skill.py reviewer to check frontmatter quality, directory structure, SKILL.md size, hardcoded paths and secrets, script hygiene, and subagent_type validity.
  • Uses clear exit codes (0 clean, 1 warnings, 2 review errors, 3 runtime failure) so results are easy to automate.
  • Offers three modes: self-review before publishing, external review of someone else's repo, and auto-PR (fork → improve → submit).
  • Enforces an "additive only" contribution principle plus PR tone guidance and required PR sections.

Who it's for

  • Authors publishing Claude Code skills or marketplace plugins
  • Team leads standardizing skill quality across a repo
  • Open-source contributors sending improvement PRs to skill repos

Examples

  1. "Review my pdf-extractor skill before I publish it" → flags a non-third-person description and missing trigger conditions.
  2. "Evaluate this GitHub skills repo" → clones to /tmp, reads all docs, runs the checklist, produces an improvement report.
  3. "Open a PR improving this skill's description" → forks with gh, branches, applies additive edits, passes the respect checklist, drafts the PR.

Paste this into Claude to use the skill without installing anything.

Read the instructions in this file and follow them to help me:

What I want: (describe your task here)

If Claude can't open the link, open it yourself and paste the contents instead.

If it works for you, download the ZIP below and install it. Then it runs on its own — no pasting each time.

Install in the Claude app (no terminal)
  1. Download the ZIP with the button below.
  2. In Claude, open Settings → Capabilities and turn on 'Code execution and file creation'. (one time)
  3. Go to Customize → Skills → + → 'Upload a skill' and upload the ZIP.

Install in Claude Code

Let Claude do it — paste this into Claude Code

Install the skill I found on Claude Skill Mart.
Copy the daymade-skill/skill-reviewer folder from the GitHub repo daymade/claude-code-skills into my ~/.claude/skills/skill-reviewer/.
When it's done, tell me in one line what this skill can do.

Install with a command instead

git clone https://github.com/daymade/claude-code-skills.git /tmp/ccs && mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills && cp -r /tmp/ccs/daymade-skill/skill-reviewer ~/.claude/skills/

This is a third-party skill. Check the source repository before installing.

  1. Open a terminal.
  2. Clone the repository: git clone https://github.com/daymade/claude-code-skills.git /tmp/ccs
  3. Create the skills directory: mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
  4. Copy this skill: cp -r /tmp/ccs/daymade-skill/skill-reviewer ~/.claude/skills/
  5. Also copy the sibling validator it depends on: cp -r /tmp/ccs/daymade-skill/skill-creator ~/.claude/skills/
  6. Install uv if you don't have it: curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh
  7. Restart Claude Code and ask something like "review my skill" to trigger it.
