| name | skill-usage-review |
| description | Use for periodically reviewing which skills are overused, underused, missing, or creating friction by examining recent governance artifacts, handoffs, instruction trackers, and task outcomes. |
Skill Usage Review
Mission
Improve the skillpack from real usage evidence instead of intuition.
Trigger Rule
Use this skill when:
- reviewing recent tasks for process quality
- checking whether skills are being over-applied
- deciding whether a skill should be split, merged, deprecated, or promoted
- preparing a periodic maintenance report
Scope Boundary
This skill owns usage-pattern review and improvement recommendations.
Use Deprecation Management for deprecation lifecycle decisions.
Use Thoroughly Rate Review for scoring quality.
Evidence Sources
Prefer existing artifacts:
docs/governance/*.governance.json
docs/governance/*.governance.md
skills/user-instructions.md
docs/handoffs/*.md when present
- recent commit messages or release notes
Review Checks
- most frequently selected skills
- skills selected without clear task value
- tasks missing expected safety or validation skills
- skills never selected despite documented triggers
- repeated user corrections or friction points
- artifacts created but not maintained
Anti-Overuse Rules
Use when:
- there is enough recent task evidence to review
- process behavior is being tuned
- the user asks whether the skillpack itself is working well
Do not use when:
- there is no usage evidence yet
- the task is a single implementation request
- a direct policy fix is already obvious and bounded
Stop after:
- usage findings are grouped by severity
- concrete skill changes are proposed
- no more than five next actions are recommended
Output Contract
When applying this skill, provide:
- evidence reviewed
- overused skills
- underused or missing skills
- friction points
- recommended changes with priority
