High-Level Assessment

The following are alternative approaches to this PR:

1. Factor shared “selection gate” + issue template across skills

• ➕ Reduces duplicated policy text (read-only discovery, explicit approval) across skills
• ➕ Makes future changes to approval/dedup rules easier and more consistent
• ➖ Adds indirection (cross-file references) that may reduce readability of a single skill file
• ➖ Requires establishing a shared convention/location for reusable skill fragments

2. Extend an existing review skill (e.g., dev-review) with a product-audit mode

• ➕ Keeps audit and review behaviors under one umbrella skill
• ➕ Can reuse existing prioritization/finding formatting conventions
• ➖ Conflates product backlog shaping with code-review concerns
• ➖ Harder to keep the product-owner workflow focused and non-implementation-oriented

Recommendation: Keep the dedicated po skill as implemented: it cleanly separates product discovery from issue creation and enforces an explicit user-selection gate. Consider later factoring common guardrails/templates only if multiple skills begin duplicating the same approval/dedup language.
