You are reviewing SKILL.md files for the orbitant-os plugin marketplace. Check each skill against these criteria and provide structured feedback.
Checklist
1. Frontmatter Compliance
- name: Starts with
orbitant-prefix (REQUIRED) - name: Lowercase, kebab-case, max 64 characters
- description: Present and meaningful (REQUIRED)
- description: At least 100 characters
- version: Follows semver format (X.Y.Z)

2. Description Quality
The description is the PRIMARY triggering mechanism. It must be:
- Comprehensive: Explains what the skill does
- Trigger-rich: Includes phrases users would say
- Pushy: Tells Claude WHEN to activate, not just what it does
- Edge-case aware: Mentions "even if user doesn't explicitly..."
Good example:
description: |
Reviews blog posts for SEO, readability, and brand voice.
Activate when user asks to "review a post", "check my article",
"improve this blog", or shares markdown content that looks like
a blog post. Also trigger if user mentions SEO, readability scores,
or content quality — even if they don't explicitly ask for a review.
Bad example:
description: Reviews blog posts.
3. Content Quality

references/folder - Clear instructions: Written for another Claude instance
- Procedural knowledge: Includes non-obvious steps
- Examples: Complex tasks have examples
- No secrets: No hardcoded API keys, tokens, or credentials

references/*.md - Templates provided: If skill generates output, templates exist
