Inspect the Agent Skill "review-and-refactor" from https://github.com/github/awesome-copilot/blob/9933dcad5be5caeb288cebcd370eeeb2fc2f1685/skills/review-and-refactor/SKILL.md at commit 9933dcad5be5caeb288cebcd370eeeb2fc2f1685. List every install step, command, network request, credential, file read/write, external action, and rollback step. Explain whether it fits my task. Do not install or execute anything until I approve.

Grounded design brief from the adopted corpus — style, WCAG-checked color tokens, typography, layout pattern, anti-patterns. Use on ui-design-brief or any which-style/palette/font/chart decision.

Use BEFORE writing or editing any non-trivial UI — inventories components, design tokens, shadcn primitives, and reusable patterns into state.ui_audit. Hard gate for the ui directive set.
