SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides an automated, structured review of Claude Code skills to verify quality, adherence to best practices, and Progressive Disclosure Architecture (PDA) compliance. It helps maintain consistency across skill documentation and lowers review effort by surfacing concrete improvements.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Structured evaluation of YAML frontmatter, naming conventions, and descriptive clarity to ensure discoverability and safety.
  • PDA compliance checks that identify monolithic SKILL.md and suggest progressive disclosure with references and on-demand content.
  • Actionable recommendations covering organization, examples, dependencies, and security considerations to prepare skills for publishing.
  • Pre-publish validation workflows for skill authors, reviewers, and platform operators to maintain quality across the marketplace.

Quick Start

To review a skill, run the Skill Reviewer against the target skill's SKILL.md (e.g., skill-reviewer/SKILL.md) and follow the generated checklist to make targeted improvements.

Can I automate quality assurance reviews for skill documentation before publishing?

Yes, you can automate quality assurance reviews for skill documentation before publishing by applying a pre-publish validation workflow that checks organization, examples, dependencies, and security considerations to prepare skills for the marketplace.

What are common quality issues found during a code review of skill files?

Common quality issues found during a code review of skill files include invalid YAML frontmatter, monolithic documentation lacking progressive disclosure, unclear naming conventions, and token-inefficient content that fails PDA compliance guidelines.

Does a skill reviewer check for security considerations in Claude Code skills?

Yes, a skill reviewer checks for security considerations in Claude Code skills by providing actionable recommendations covering organization, dependencies, and safety dimensions to ensure the skill is safe and ready for publishing.
