WHAT THIS FILE IS
=================
submission-reviewer.skill — Reviews one department's budget submission the
moment it lands, against their own history, their guardrail, and their peers.

A .skill file is Anthropic's packaging format for Claude Skills. It is a
standard ZIP archive, nothing more. This build is intentionally uncompressed
so the contents stay human-readable in a text editor.

LOOK INSIDE YOURSELF
====================
Rename the file from .skill to .zip and extract it, or run:  unzip submission-reviewer.skill
Every file inside is plain-text markdown. There is no executable code.

WHAT'S INSIDE
=============
  SKILL.md
  references/review-rubric.md
  references/output-template.md
  references/reply-templates.md
  README.txt (this file)

WHAT IT DOES
============
Submissions come back over three weeks in different shapes, and a padded line
looks exactly like an honest one until somebody compares it to history. Most
teams don't catch it until consolidation, when questioning it is a
renegotiation instead of a two-minute question.

This skill reviews one submission on arrival: what they sent against what they
actually spent, checked against their guardrail and their peers. It returns a
verdict, the specific lines worth challenging with the reason attached, and a
ready-to-send reply.

WHAT YOU GIVE IT
================
  Required:     one department's budget submission (.xlsx, .csv, or pasted)
  Recommended:  that department's trailing twelve months of actuals
                their guardrail, and any line-level caps
  Optional:     peer submissions, the owner's stated assumptions

WHAT YOU GET BACK
=================
  A verdict: accept, accept with questions, or send back
  The lines to challenge, each with prior, requested, delta and failed test
  The full line table, every line tagged
  A ready-to-send reply written for a non-finance reader

HOW TO USE IT
=============
Upload this file as-is to Claude: Settings -> Skills -> Add.
Or add it in Claude Cowork or Claude Code.

Sits between /owner-packet-builder (which creates the ask) and
/budget-change-digest (which tracks versions over time). Distinct from
/budget-pressure-tester, which reviews a finished budget for board-readiness.
