What it does

When installed, this skill makes the agent review an Archify issue, pull request, or piece of code by asking three questions: is the problem worth solving, is the proposed approach cheap enough to maintain, and what does it affect. The agent is told to check facts against the target code revision, separate verified findings from assumptions, and point out simpler alternatives and open questions. It is a review method that guides the agent's reasoning rather than a tool that runs checks automatically.

Great for

  • Maintainers of the Archify project triaging incoming issues
  • Contributors or reviewers assessing whether a pull request is worth merging
  • Developers who want a structured value/cost/impact review of a code change

Skip it if

  • Projects other than Archify, since it points to Archify-specific review and contribution files and is marked internal (it may give generic or misleading guidance elsewhere)
  • Replacing a human maintainer's final merge decision, because the output is an evidence-based opinion that can be wrong or incomplete

Try asking

  • “Review this Archify pull request and tell me whether the change is worth merging.”
  • “Triage this issue: is the problem real, how often does it happen, and is it worth fixing now?”
  • “Assess the maintenance cost and coupling impact of this refactor in the Archify codebase.”

  3. 3

    Ask for the task

    No special command needed — the agent reads the skill's description and loads it when your request matches. Try one of the prompts above.

Get better results

  • Give the agent the specific issue or PR link or diff, and the revision you want checked, so it can verify facts directly.
  • Ask for the review to cite REVIEWING.md and CONTRIBUTING.md so repository-specific rules are applied.
  • Treat the output as a structured draft: ask follow-up questions on any claim the agent could not verify.
