yog-sotho Skill Verification LoopRun a structured pre-PR verification sweep across build, types, lint, tests, security, and diff review. Always activate this skill when the user says things like "verify my changes", "run checks", "is this ready for PR?", "check my code", "run the verification loop", or after completing a feature, refactor, or significant change. Also activate proactively before any PR creation — even if not explicitly asked. Works for TypeScript, JavaScript, and Python projects.

yog-sotho Skill AI Code Review AssistantAct as an expert code reviewer — producing structured feedback with severity tiers, not writing or fixing code. Use this skill when the user wants passive review, analysis, or a quality assessment of existing code without asking for an immediate rewrite. Trigger on: "review this", "look at this code", "check my code", "audit this", "is this safe?", "is this good practice?", "find bugs", "review my PR", "what's wrong here?", "give me feedback on", or any time the user pastes code and wants analysis rather than a fix. Do NOT trigger when the user asks you to fix, implement, refactor, or build something — use elite-coder for that instead.
