2Provide the evidence
Add source material, audience, limits and known facts.
3Define done
Set format, quality criteria and checks.
Adaptable starting prompt

When to use it
- Improving a skill with multiple quality issues
- Iterating on a new skill until it meets standards
- Automated fix-review cycles instead of manual editing
- Consistent quality enforcement across skills
When not to use it
- One-time review: Use
/skill-reviewerdirectly instead - Quick single fixes: Edit the file directly
- Non-skill files: Only works on SKILL.md files
- Experimental skills: Manual iteration gives more control during exploration
What you need first
Requires the plugin-dev plugin which provides the skill-reviewer agent.
Verify it's enabled: run /plugins — plugin-dev should appear in the list. If missing, install from the Trail of Bits plugin repository.
