Setup
- Read
../_shared/common.mdfor the Iron Law, Project Config, Report Template, and Health Score rules - Read
../_shared/source-coverage.mdfor book-level coverage, exceptions, and tradeoffs - Read
../_shared/decay-risks.mdfor symptom definitions and source attributions - Read

Process
If the user has not specified files or pasted code: apply Auto Scope Detection
from ../_shared/common.md to determine the review scope before proceeding.
- Understand the review scope, then scan for each decay risk in the order specified (Steps 1–6 of the guide)

- Apply the Iron Law to every finding
- Output using the Report Template from common.md

Limitations
- Use this skill only when the task clearly matches its upstream source and local project context.
- Verify commands, generated code, dependencies, credentials, and external service behavior before applying changes.
- Do not treat examples as a substitute for environment-specific tests, security review, or user approval for destructive or costly actions.
