ln-162-skill-reviewer
Paths: File paths (
shared/,references/,../ln-*) are relative to skills repo root. If not found at CWD, locate this SKILL.md directory and go up one level for repo root. Ifshared/is missing, fetch files via WebFetch fromhttps://raw.githubusercontent.com/levnikolaevich/claude-code-skills/master/skills/{path}.
ln-162-skill-reviewer
Type: L3 Worker (standalone-capable) Category: 1XX Documentation Pipeline
Universal reviewer with two modes:
SKILLforln-*/SKILL.mdCOMMANDfor.claude/commands/*.md- repo suite for this skills repository when
repo/repo-checksis requested or the current repo isclaude-code-skills
Plan Mode behavior: Phases 1-4 and 6-7 are research. Run them fully in Plan Mode, write the report plus fix list into the plan, and apply edits only after approval.
Mode Detection
| Condition | Mode | Review Profile |
|---|---|---|
ln-*/SKILL.md files exist in CWD |
SKILL | Full D1-D11 + M1-M6 |
.claude/commands/*.md files exist |
COMMAND | Structural + actionability |
| Both exist | SKILL | Override with $ARGUMENTS=commands |
Input
$ARGUMENTS options:
- empty -> auto-detect mode and scope
ln-400 ln-500-> SKILL mode, specific skillsrepoorrepo-checks-> run canonical repo-specific checks after universal reviewcommands-> COMMAND mode, all.claude/commands/*.mddeploy.md run-tests.md-> COMMAND mode, specific files
When invoked by another skill, file paths may be passed directly.
SKILL Mode
Phase 1: Scope Detection
If $ARGUMENTS is provided:
- treat each token as a skill directory prefix
- glob
{prefix}*/SKILL.md
If $ARGUMENTS is empty:
- inspect git diff, staged files, and untracked files
- collect primary skill dirs
- collect affected skills referencing changed shared files
- collect dependency skills from worker tables and
Skill()invocations
Report:
Scope: {N} primary, {M} affected, {K} dependency skills.
Phase 2: Automated Verification
Run:
# Never pass a giant mixed scope in one invocation.
# Split by `ln-NXX` family or by coordinator/worker group.
bash references/run_checks.sh {batch_1 SKILL.md files}
bash references/run_checks.sh {batch_2 SKILL.md files}
Batching rules:
- keep each invocation within one
ln-NXXfamily when possible - if scope mixes coordinators and workers, split them into separate invocations
- if one family is still large, chunk it into 5-10 files per invocation
Automated failures are pre-verified. Record every one.
Phase 3: Structural Review
MANDATORY READ: Load references/structural_review.md, shared/references/skill_contract.md, shared/references/procedural_skill_sop_guide.md, shared/references/mcp_applicability_matrix.md, and shared/references/mcp_tool_preferences.md
Review every skill in scope across D1-D11.
Treat these as structural issues, not style nits:
- missing
**Type:**when role-sensitive checks depend on it - worker independence violations in L3 workers
- broken shared paths
- stale root-doc assumptions — CLAUDE.md duplicating AGENTS.md content instead of using the
@AGENTS.mdimport stub with a bounded harness delta - markdown-analysis skills missing
markdown_read_protocol.md - extraction or audit skills contradicting the shared docs-quality contract
- skills contradicting the shared skill contract
- skills that should make
hex-lineprimary but only describe built-in file tools - skills that should make
hex-graphprimary but still describe grep/manual analysis as the default path - skills that add
hex-graphorhex-linewith no real applicability per the shared matrix - wrong MCP namespaces such as
mcp__hex_graph__... - procedural skills with vague modal words, compound high-risk steps, missing point-of-use checklists, missing why for risky steps, missing executable preflight, or missing evidence
Phase 4: Intent Review
MANDATORY READ: Load references/intent_review.md
Apply M1-M6 to primary skills only. Read the git diff for each primary skill.
Phase 5: Fix
Auto-fix deterministic issues:
- wrong paths
- stale references
- duplicated wording
- worker-independence violations with exact removals
- copied docs shell sections in command files
Do not guess on ambiguous behavior.
After fixes, re-read each primary skill end-to-end and compress redundant wording without changing behavior.
Phase 6: Report
Verdict rules:
- any structural violation not auto-fixed ->
FAIL - only advisory intent concerns remain ->
PASS with CONCERNS - zero findings ->
PASS
Report format:
## Skill Coherence Review -- {PASS|PASS with CONCERNS|FAIL}
**Scope:** {reviewed skills}
**Verdict:** {verdict}
Phase 7: Volatile Numbers Cleanup
Remove stale aggregate counts from SKILL.md files. Keep only local counts intrinsic to the reviewed file.
Repo Suite Mode
Use when running inside this repository or when $ARGUMENTS includes repo / repo-checks.
Phase 1: Universal Review
Run the applicable SKILL or COMMAND mode first. Do not skip the universal review.
Phase 2: Repo-Specific Checks
Run the canonical repo suite:
node skills-catalog/ln-162-skill-reviewer/references/repo_review_suite.mjs
The suite owns R1-R27. Do not copy those checks into host-specific command files.
Phase 3: Combined Report
Merge the universal review verdict and repo suite verdict:
| Source | Verdict | Details |
|--------|---------|---------|
| Universal review | {PASS|PASS with CONCERNS|FAIL} | {summary} |
| Repo suite | {PASS|PASS with WARNINGS|FAIL} | {R1-R27 summary} |
| Combined | {worst verdict} | |
List all FAIL and WARN items with file paths and fix descriptions.
COMMAND Mode
MANDATORY READ: Load references/command_review_criteria.md
Phase 1: Scope Detection
- explicit file paths -> review those files
commands-> glob.claude/commands/*.md- coordinator-supplied file list -> review those files
Phase 2: Review
For each command file:
- apply all command review criteria
- verify source provenance
- verify no copied docs shell sections remain
Phase 3: Fix
Auto-fix where safe:
- missing frontmatter
- missing
allowed-tools - description too long
- missing
Last Updated - exact copied docs shell sections
Phase 4: Report
## Command Review -- {N} files
| File | Verdict | Issues |
|------|---------|--------|
Verdicts: PASS / FIXED / WARN / FAIL
Pass rate: {X}%
Rules
- Automated checks are non-negotiable.
- Read all scoped files before reporting.
- Fix deterministic issues immediately.
- Do not update versions or dates unless the user explicitly requests it.
shared/changes affect all referencing skills.- Worker independence is mandatory for L3 workers:
- no
**Coordinator:** - no
**Parent:** - no required caller declaration
- no
- Docs-model drift is a structural defect, not a preference.
- Unsupported platform APIs are prohibited outside clearly marked historical references.
