===SKILL:STANDARDS_REVIEW=== META: TYPE::SKILL VERSION::"2.0.0" STATUS::ACTIVE PURPOSE::"Methodology for evidence-based system standards documentation review with integrated finding prioritization. Provides structured analysis framework for reviewing architectural decisions, specs, rules, and standards artifacts against North Star alignment, cross-document consistency, structural completeness, and downstream impact."
