SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Maintainers often struggle to decide what to improve first in a repository. This Skill inspects a repo's docs, manifests, tests, CI, and structure, then delivers a prioritized improvement plan grounded in concrete evidence rather than generic advice. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Evidence-backed findings: Every observation is tied to a specific file, missing artifact, config field, or command result. - Prioritized roadmap: Findings are ranked P0/P1/P2 and sequenced into Now, Next, and Later phases based on impact, effort, and dependencies. - Advisory-only review: The Skill inspects and recommends without modifying files unless the user explicitly requests implementation. - Use Case: Point the Skill at a newly open-sourced project to get a health check covering README quality, test coverage, CI setup, and release readiness, with a clear order of operations. ## Quick Start Review this repository and tell me the prioritized next steps I should take to improve it.

Frequently Asked Questions about repo-next-steps-review

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I review a repository and decide what to work on next?▼

Run this Skill against the repository to inspect docs, manifests, tests, CI, and structure. It returns a findings table with P0/P1/P2 priorities and a Now/Next/Later roadmap, so you can start with the highest-impact fixes first.

What does a repository health check cover?▼

The review covers documentation, setup path, runnable commands, tests, CI workflows, release process, code organization, examples, and maintenance signals. Each finding is tied to evidence like a file, missing artifact, or command result.

Does the repo review modify any files?▼

No. The Skill is advisory only and never edits files unless you explicitly ask for implementation afterward. It runs only safe local inspection commands such as file listing, tests, linting, or builds.

When should I not use a general repo review skill?▼

Avoid it for narrow reviews better handled by specialized skills, such as npm publishing, accessibility, SEO, or bundle size checks. It is also unsuitable when you already have a concrete code change to implement.

Can the review handle monorepos with multiple packages?▼

Yes. For repositories containing multiple apps or packages, the Skill identifies each workspace and separates cross-cutting next steps from package-specific ones in its recommendations.
