code-review
Use when reviewing code. Triggers: 'review my code', 'check my work', 'look over this', 'review PR #X', 'PR comments to address', 'reviewer said', 'address feedback', 'self-review before PR', 'audit this code'. For heavyweight multi-phase analysis, use advanced-code-review instead.

autonomous-roundtable
DEPRECATED: This skill has been absorbed into the develop skill. Use develop instead.
The capabilities of autonomous-roundtable (project decomposition, roundtable gating,
reflexion on ITERATE) are now available through develop's dialectic_mode and
token_enforcement preferences. Set dialectic_mode to "roundtable" in Phase 0.4
for equivalent behavior.
