Trigger liberally — any request touching readability, simplifica…

navvy
Diagnose a codebase through its git history before reading any code. Surfaces churn hotspots, bus factor risks, bug clusters, velocity trends, and firefighting patterns. Only invoked directly via /navvy — does not auto-trigger.

Examples: "review the UX copy", "is there a better way to phrase this", "rewrite this error message", "write copy for this screen/flow/page", reviewing button labels, improving CLI output messages, writing onboarding copy, settings descriptions, or confirmation dialogs. Trigger whenever th…

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.
