Duplicated style guide content between AGENTS.md and SKILL.md
Medium Severity
The new "Documentation Writing Style" section substantially duplicates content from .claude/skills/docs-review/SKILL.md. Both files contain nearly identical guidelines for Tone & Voice (Supportive Peer, Direct & Honest, Inclusive), Stylistic Rules (American English, Scannability, Active Voice, Headings), and Formatting (Code First, Bold for Emphasis). Consider having AGENTS.md reference the skill file or style-guide.mdx instead of duplicating the content.

Agree on the concept but primary/replica isn't developer parlance.
