What it does
- Runs the bundled
review_skill.pyreviewer to check frontmatter quality, directory structure, SKILL.md size, hardcoded paths and secrets, script hygiene, andsubagent_typevalidity. - 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
- "Review my pdf-extractor skill before I publish it" → flags a non-third-person description and missing trigger conditions.
- "Evaluate this GitHub skills repo" → clones to /tmp, reads all docs, runs the checklist, produces an improvement report.
- "Open a PR improving this skill's description" → forks with gh, branches, applies additive edits, passes the respect checklist, drafts the PR.
