## What it does

The skill audits Kubernetes API schemas and CRDs inside the Kelos repository. It inspects modified files across `api/` and checks consistency against sample manifests in `examples/`. Generated artifacts from `make update` are verified as well. Without an explicit target, it checks the local branch against `origin/main`.

This is a review-only tool. It never edits source files and posts nothing to GitHub. PR inspection relies on the `gh` CLI. Detected issues receive severity tags from `P0` to `P3`. Blocking problems result in a `REQUEST CHANGES` verdict in your chat window.
