Skills
A hot skill for structured pull-request review. It gives an agent a frame for reading a diff, checking risky changes, and leaving comments a human can use.
If agents write more code, review needs to get sharper instead of becoming a rubber stamp.

A hot skill for SEO content with an explicit search workflow. Better used for research and distribution pages than as a machine for publishing filler.

A hot skill that maps constraints and system boundaries before implementation rather than immediately generating files.
Architecture-first steps are cheap insurance against agents confidently building the wrong solution.
