Review Comment:
`SECURITY_PATTERN_SKIP_PATHS` uses POSIX-style separators, but `str(path)`
will contain backslashes on Windows, so the skip won’t trigger there. Use a
normalized form (e.g., `path.as_posix()` or compare via `Path` parts /
`endswith` on a POSIX-normalized relative path) and prefer an `endswith`/exact
match rather than substring matching to avoid accidentally skipping unrelated
files whose path merely contains the same substring.

Review Comment:
The regex requires a leading whitespace before `-[fF]` (`r"\s-[fF]..."`),
which means it won’t match if the flag starts at the beginning of a line (e.g.,
a wrapped command listing arguments on subsequent lines starting with `-f ...`
but with no preceding whitespace due to formatting). Replacing the leading `\s`
with something like `(?:^|\s)` (or explicitly supporting line starts) would
make the check more robust without changing intent.

Review Comment:
Pattern 9 (`--body ...`) is now checked in `validate_security_patterns()`
but `validate_body_inline()` still runs and appears to check the same
underlying `_BODY_INLINE_RE`. This will likely emit duplicate SOFT violations
for the same match (two categories/messages), increasing noise and making
strict mode harder to use. Consider consolidating: either (a) remove Pattern 9
from `validate_security_patterns()` and keep it only in
`validate_body_inline()`, or (b) retire/disable `validate_body_inline()` (or
make it only handle cases not covered by security-pattern-9) so each issue is
reported once.

Review Comment:
This test hardcodes `700`/`700` as “just under the limit”, which will become
brittle if `MAX_METADATA_CHARS` changes. Since `MAX_METADATA_CHARS` is already
imported in this file, compute `desc`/`when_to_use` sizes from that constant
(e.g., allocate `MAX_METADATA_CHARS - 1` across the two fields) so the test
continues to assert the intended invariant regardless of future threshold
changes.

Review Comment:
`validate_placeholders()` flags hardcoded project references by substring
match, and `apache/airflow` is a forbidden pattern; it will match inside
`apache/airflow-steward`. This new `--repo apache/airflow-steward` line will
therefore trigger a placeholder violation for this skill doc unless it is
allowlisted or marked with an inline allow marker. Use a placeholder (e.g.,
`--repo <repo>`) or add the repository name via the project’s established
allowlisting/inline-allow mechanism if hardcoding is intentional.
