What it does
In the author's own words, from each skill's SKILL.md.
-
code-review
Perform comprehensive code reviews covering bugs, style, performance, security, and best practices. Use this skill when the user mentions: review my code, check this code, code review, find bugs, improve code, refactor suggestions, security audit, performance optimization, code quality, static analysis.

team-coordination
Coordinate software development work by analyzing requirements, delegating tasks to specialized sub-agents (developer, code-reviewer, tester), and synthesizing their work into cohesive deliverables. Use this for complex projects that require multiple specialized perspectives.

Review before you install
A skill is a set of instructions and scripts your agent will follow, and it can run code on your machine. Read the SKILL.md and any scripts first — this listing is not a security review.
