Use when the agent has a concrete file path (about to edit `src/api/users.ts`) and needs the rules that apply to THAT path. Also use with no path to list all rule ids — triggers "what rules does this project have", "list all rules", "which rules exist", "show…
Use when user wants a new code convention rule added, regardless of phrasing — "add a rule", "enforce X", "forbid Y", "write a rule for Z", "create `.autoreview/rules/foo.md` with body ...". Once `.autoreview/` exists, invoke this skill for rule authoring…

Use when user has drafted file content that is NOT on disk yet and wants a reviewer verdict before writing — explicit phrases like "would this pass review?", "check before I save", "will this be accepted?" with content not yet persisted. Costs 1 LLM call per…

Use when user asks "does this pass review?", "does this file pass our rules", wrapping up feature work before a commit, when a commit got blocked OR rejected by the pre-commit hook (any "[reject]", "commit rejected", "commit being rejected", "why is my commit…
