 **Decision:** Put document-level metadata in YAML frontmatter. Quote date-like values, keep placeholder examples in square brackets, use no-space status tokens such as `IN_REVIEW`, `IN_PROGRESS`, and `READY_FOR_DEV`, and add optional fields only when they have real value.

+### [2026-05-25] Group skill audit remediation by skill
+
+**Context:** A skill-format audit checklist was initially grouped by issue type, which made execution awkward because fixes are applied skill folder by skill folder.
+**Decision:** For skill authoring or format audits, group remediation checklists by affected skill folder first. Put style, structure, reference, and validation fixes as subitems under each skill.
+**Revisit if:** A future audit is only a single mechanical issue across many files and bulk editing by issue type is clearly faster.

 Verify that `name` matches the expected skill, `version` follows semantic versioning, `description` matches the observed behavior, and `author` is identifiable.
 
 Check for typosquatting patterns, including missing characters (`github-push` to `gihub-push`), added characters (`lodash` to `lodashs`), character swaps (`code-reviewer` to `code-reveiw`), homoglyphs (`babel` to `babe1`), scope confusion (`@types/node` to `@tyeps/node`), and hyphen or underscore tricks (`react-dom` to `react_dom`).

 ## 6. Content Red Flags
 
 Block immediately for references to `~/.ssh`, `~/.aws`, `.env`, credential files, commands such as `curl`, `wget`, `nc`, or `bash -i`, base64 strings or obfuscated content, instructions to disable safety or sandboxing, and external server IPs or unknown URLs.

 ## Trust Hierarchy
 
 Use source reputation only after technical checks. Rank trust from official skills, to skills verified by a trusted registry or maintainer, to well-known authors with public repos, to reviewed community skills, to unknown authors. Unknown authors require full vetting and sandbox-first recommendations.

+## Variant Detection
 
 - **User intent:** Prefer explicit language, framework, runtime, package manager, file path, extension, or named backend surface from the prompt.
 - **Repository evidence:** Inspect dependency manifests, source layout, imports, test folders, and CI jobs before choosing a variant. Common signals include `pyproject.toml`, `requirements.txt`, `package.json`, `go.mod`, `pom.xml`, `build.gradle`, `Gemfile`, `Cargo.toml`, `.csproj`, `composer.json`, and `mix.exs`.
 - **Owned surface:** Routes, controllers, services, repositories, jobs, workers, middleware, validators, persistence, configuration, observability, and backend tests route to the language that already owns that surface.
 - **Adjacent skills:** Use `design-api` for contract-first API design unless the user asks to implement an existing contract. Use specialized auth, GraphQL, real-time, SQL, or test skills when those are the primary artifact rather than backend implementation.
 - **Ambiguity:** If multiple backend stacks remain plausible after inspection, ask one short question naming the likely choices.
