+This skill enables thorough code review with focus on:
+- Code quality and readability
+- Potential bugs and edge cases
+- Performance considerations
+- Security vulnerabilities
+- Best practices adherence
+
+## Instructions
+
+When reviewing code:
+
+1. **Read the code carefully** - Understand the purpose and flow
+2. **Check for bugs** - Look for null checks, edge cases, error handling
+3. **Evaluate readability** - Variable names, comments, structure
+4. **Consider performance** - Time/space complexity, unnecessary operations
+5. **Security review** - Input validation, injection risks, data exposure
+6. **Suggest improvements** - Provide actionable recommendations
+
+## Output Format
+
+Structure your review as:
+- Summary: Brief overview of the code
+- Issues: List of problems found (severity: high/medium/low)
+- Suggestions: Recommended improvements
+- Positive aspects: What's done well

+# PDF Processing Skill
+
+## Overview
+
+This skill enables agents to process PDF documents, extract text content, and analyze the information within them.
+
+## When to Use
+
+Activate this skill when:
+- User asks to read or analyze a PDF file
+- User needs to extract text from a PDF
+- User wants to summarize a PDF document
+- User needs to search for information within a PDF
+
+## Instructions
+
+1. First, verify the PDF file exists at the specified path
+2. Use appropriate tools to read the PDF content
+3. Extract text while preserving structure where possible
+4. For large PDFs, process in chunks to manage context
+5. Summarize or analyze based on user's specific request
+
+## Best Practices
+
+- Always confirm the file path before processing
+- Handle encrypted PDFs gracefully with appropriate error messages
+- For scanned PDFs, note that OCR may be required
+- Preserve important formatting like tables and lists
