    "The UI exposed search activity summaries and final answers, not raw tool arguments, results, or exact call counts. Preview retrieval is reported by the answer, not independently established by an exposed raw trace.",
    "The separate portable SkillDB 0.1.1 cloud package was uploaded to the personal plugin directory, but its launch action routed to the desktop app. Its bundled skill instructions were not exercised by this browser connection.",
    "These are three representative checks, not all submission review cases or the full evaluation rubric.",
    "The complete package has no public OpenAI directory listing. Publisher upload remained blocked by a developer-identity gate despite approved individual verification."

      ],
      "response": "Three concise SkillDB matches for reviewing a TypeScript API:\n\n1. Code Review — Best overall fit. Its public preview frames the reviewer as a principal engineer focused on catching production-impacting bugs, while the metadata explicitly covers bugs, security, performance, and maintainability across languages/frameworks. That makes it a strong primary review skill for TypeScript implementation quality.\nSource: https://skilldb.dev/skills/software-skills/code-review\n\n2. API Design Testing — Best API-specific complement. Its preview focuses on APIs as contracts between systems, and the metadata covers REST conventions, endpoint testing, versioning, error responses, reliability, and maintainability. This is useful for checking whether the TypeScript API behaves correctly at the interface/contract level, not just whether the code looks good.\nSource: https://skilldb.dev/skills/software-skills/api-design-testing\n\n3. bug-hunt-loop — Best for a deeper adversarial pass. It is designed to find and verify real correctness, security, concurrency, resource-leak, and API-misuse bugs while filtering out speculative findings. I’d use this after the first two when you want a higher-confidence audit rather than a conventional review.\nSource: https://skilldb.dev/skills/agentic-loops-skills/bug-hunt-loop\n\nThe first two were inspected via their public SkillDB previews; these are catalog excerpts, not the full skills, and none were installed or applied.",
