type:review

Assemble per-release evidence packages from artifacts already produced elsewhere in the project (traceability matrix, CI logs, PR review records, signed-commit lists, external research citations, risk file). Output is a self-contained directory under evidence/<version>/ containing a manifest.yaml, per-artifact subdirectories, and an INTEGRITY checksum. Read-mostly with respect to source code: writes only under evidence/. Opt-in gate: no-op when the consumer project has no evidence/ parent directory, so non-regulated repos are unaffected. Idempotent: refuses to overwrite an existing pack unless --force is passed.

From the source SKILL.md

Assemble per-release evidence packages for projects that have adopted the regulated-industry track. The skill is the release-time partner of the traceability skill: where traceability maintains the per-commit matrix, evidence-pack packages that matrix together with surrounding artifacts (CI logs, PR reviews, signed commits, research citations, risk file) into a single directory an external auditor can consume without further stitching.
