refactor_gate

Quick Review

This skill provides a simple checkpoint pattern for refactoring workflows. The description is somewhat vague ('after architecture mapping' lacks context), making it unclear when exactly to invoke this skill. The task knowledge is basic but present - ask user, then branch to either continue (update PLANS.md/IMPACT.md) or defer (update BACKLOG.md). Structure is clean for a simple skill. However, novelty is low: this is essentially a yes/no prompt with conditional file updates that a CLI agent could easily handle without a specialized skill. The skill doesn't demonstrate meaningful token savings or complexity reduction that would justify its existence as a reusable component.
