From the source SKILL.md

Run a repeatable, model-agnostic review of a project at the FOUNDATIONS — problem–solution fit, architecture soundness, product coherence — and convert the findings into a prospect-hardened, cold-executable plan with owner routing. This is the productized form of the foundational review chain (the canonical process doc this skill reads at Step 1).
