I just consider this temp phase because models are dumb and harnesses are not yet there.

When I need code review I should just say “review it”. Model should figure out what plugins, skills, etc. to use.

Why does it need plugins/skills for a code review? Claude will just "review it" if you ask it to, and if you have particular preferences, they can go in CLAUDE.md

Skills are effectively the same thing as asking it, just with more depth. So the skill is just a framework for a very precisely asked question. It often includes how you want Claude to respond, etc.

I’m not aware of anything fundamentally unique about skills or commands, they’re just more tokens to shape the llm

Totally. You can do that now, and Claude will know to use /code-review.
