Review Checklist

• Verify the Skill has valid YAML frontmatter: name and description.
• Confirm the Skill scope is narrow and the trigger description is precise.
• Flag instructions that ask the agent to ignore system/developer/project rules.
• Flag requests to expose secrets, private keys, seed phrases, tokens, cookies, or credentials.
• Flag destructive commands, auto-pushes, force-pushes, production writes, or unreviewed deploys.
• Confirm external services, APIs, and MCP tools are used only with explicit schema checks and least privilege.
• Confirm the Skill does not claim capabilities that are not installed in this environment.
• Prefer project-local wrappers for unverified third-party Skills until their source and license are reviewed.
