Automated summary

Records a user-approved bypass of the kit's final-review Stop gate for the current session, and only when the user explicitly asked for it.

Strengths

  • Writes a bypass flag whose first line must start with `user-approved`, so a bare `touch` is rejected by the gate
  • Keeps the user's real words in the `quote` field as an audit trail
  • Warns the user that the bypass covers only the next turn-end

Limitations

  • Only works when the kit's `verify-final-review.sh` Stop hook is installed
  • The flag is consumed the first time the hook fires, so later turns are gated again
  • Depends on the session path given in KIT_CONTEXT and writes into /tmp
When to use it

Use it when the user explicitly says to skip the final review for this session.

When not to use it

Never self-invoke it to get past a block; run /kit-review instead.

Security analysis

Caution
Quality score88/100

The skill does not perform destructive or exfiltrating actions, but it exists to disable a review gate. The explicit user-approval requirement mitigates the risk, yet bypassing a safety control warrants caution.

Findings
  • •Bypasses a final-review Stop gate, which is a safety control, even though it requires explicit user approval.
  • •Writes a flag file to /tmp; if misused or self-invoked, it could disable a review safeguard.

name: kit-skip-review description: Record a USER-approved skip of the kit's final-review Stop gate for the current session. Only invoke when the user explicitly asked to skip the review (e.g. "skip review", "這次不用 review") — never self-invoke to get past a block.

/kit-skip-review — user-approved gate bypass

The Stop hook (verify-final-review.sh) blocks turn-end when business-logic files changed without a review. This skill records the user's decision to waive that review once.

Steps

  1. Verify this is the user's call. This skill must be triggered by an explicit user request. If you (Claude) merely want to end the turn, the answer is /kit-review, not this skill.

  2. Write the bypass flag for this session — the exact path is in KIT_CONTEXT (session start). The gate only accepts a flag whose first line starts with user-approved (a bare touch is discarded): echo "user-approved date=<YYYY-MM-DD> quote=\"<the user's actual words>\"" > /tmp/claude-skip-review-<session_id> The quote field is the audit trail — put the user's real words in it, never a paraphrase you wish they had said.

  3. Tell the user the gate is bypassed for the next turn-end only — the hook consumes the flag when it fires, so later turns are gated again.

From the file to a first result

The download contains exactly the content displayed on this page. This copy may differ from the latest version in the source repository.

View the source and supporting files

This download contains SKILL.md only. Any scripts, references, templates and dependencies are not included. Get the required files from the source, preserving their directory structure, before continuing.

1. Download the file

Download SKILL.md

From the root of a test project, save the file as .skill-downloads/skip-final-review-gate-mrzxuou7/SKILL.md, or use the command below. This folder is for inspecting the skill before installation.

Command for macOS/Linux or WSL: requires a POSIX shell and curl. On Windows without WSL, use the download button and create the folder manually.

mkdir -p '.skill-downloads/skip-final-review-gate-mrzxuou7' && curl --fail --show-error --location 'https://skills-guides.com/api/skills/skip-final-review-gate-mrzxuou7/download' --output '.skill-downloads/skip-final-review-gate-mrzxuou7/SKILL.md.part' && mv '.skill-downloads/skip-final-review-gate-mrzxuou7/SKILL.md.part' '.skill-downloads/skip-final-review-gate-mrzxuou7/SKILL.md'

2. Check prerequisites

Read SKILL.md before using it. If it references scripts or external services, inspect them and prepare the required access in your test environment.

No recognized prerequisites section in this file. This does not mean it is self-contained: libraries, tools and access requirements may be mentioned elsewhere in the content or source repository.

The platforms on this page are catalog indications. The paths below follow tool documentation; they do not prove this skill has been run in those tools. No minimum tool version is confirmed for this listing.

3. Load the skill

After inspection, copy the complete folder into your project using one of the commands below, then open a new tool session. The command stops if a folder with the same name already exists: compare the files before replacing it.

Claude Code
test -f '.skill-downloads/skip-final-review-gate-mrzxuou7/SKILL.md' && test -s '.skill-downloads/skip-final-review-gate-mrzxuou7/SKILL.md' && mkdir -p '.claude/skills' && test ! -e '.claude/skills/kit-skip-review' && cp -R '.skill-downloads/skip-final-review-gate-mrzxuou7' '.claude/skills/kit-skip-review'

OpenSkills

OpenSkills must already be installed. The local install/read procedure is checked with OpenSkills 1.5.0, which requires Node.js ≥ 20.6.0. Catalog slugs are not resolved automatically.

Official OpenSkills installation
openskills install './.skill-downloads/skip-final-review-gate-mrzxuou7'

openskills read 'skip-final-review-gate-mrzxuou7'

Reading should display the installed file content and its base directory. It does not run the skill or install its dependencies.

For an agent that reads AGENTS.md, then sync the index. This command changes AGENTS.md: review the diff before using it.

openskills sync

Manual method or another tool: attach SKILL.md to a conversation, or open it in an agent that can read files. Include any required supporting resources. No universal folder is recognized by every tool.

4. Try a first task

Use a short, synthetic input: an API endpoint, a small document or an interface brief. In a new conversation, attach the file or give the agent its path, then adapt this request:

Read .skill-downloads/skip-final-review-gate-mrzxuou7/SKILL.md and apply its instructions to this example: [describe a test input]. Identify any missing files, dependencies or access. Produce the result requested by the skill without inventing data or running unreviewed scripts.

Expected result: output matching the skill instructions, or a precise list of missing prerequisites. A read confirmation alone does not validate a first use. If an external resource is unavailable, that path remains untested.
