What this skill tells your AI

The instructions your AI receives, as published by kentcdodds/kcd-skills in skills/review-and-recommend/SKILL.md and read by Ahel’s review.

  1. Review the relevant data, issues, code, and git history.
  2. Present real options (numbered) with associated effort (Easy · Medium · Hard). Label each as a one-way door or a two-way door (hard-to-reverse vs reversible).
  3. Make a recommendation.
  4. Call out the right fix. If it differs from the recommendation, explain why.
  5. Stop and wait for a choice — do not implement yet.
