Review skill PRs with structured severity-rated feedback covering token budgets, routing conflicts, and repo conventions. WHEN: "review skill", "review skill PR", "review skill changes", "check skill quality", "skill PR feedback".

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Skill PR Reviewer

Performs thorough, structured code reviews of skill PRs — severity-classified findings with actionable fixes, positive acknowledgment, and a summary table.

## When to Use

- Reviewing a PR that adds or modifies a skill under `plugins/{plugin}/skills/` or `.github/skills/`
- Checking skill compliance before submitting a PR
- Auditing an existing skill for quality issues

> 💡 **Note:** `.github/skills/` meta-skills have different conventions — checklist sections 8-9 apply only to `plugins/{plugin}/skills/` service skills.

## Review Workflow

1. **Collect** — Identify all changed skill files (SKILL.md, references, tests, scripts)
2. **Check** — Run each category from the [review checklist](references/review-checklist.md)
3. **Classify** — Assign severity per the [severity guide](references/severity-classification.md)
4. **Analyze Routing** — Check triggers for conflicts per [routing analysis](references/routing-analysis.md)
5. **Draft** — Write the review per the [output format](references/output-format.md)
6. **Validate** — Verify suggested fixes are actionable with accurate file/line references

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add microsoft/github-copilot-for-azure/skill-reviewer@sha256:0b6b6336aea774cd

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.4, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
