fix(skills): rename code-review skill to coderabbit-review to stop shadowing Claude Code's built-in /code-review

[anatolykoptev]

The problem

Installing the code-review skill in Claude Code breaks Claude Code's own built-in /code-review command. The skill registers its slash command from the name: field, so name: code-review claims the global /code-review and silently shadows the built-in — it just becomes unreachable, with no warning. Reported in #18, and a second user hit it too.

Why it happens

A skill's name: is meant to register under the plugin namespace (/coderabbit:code-review), but a current Claude Code regression makes name: bypass the namespace and grab the bare global name (upstream: anthropics/claude-code#22063). And on the npx skills add path the skill installs with no namespace at all, so it's /code-review either way.

The fix

Rename the skill code-review → coderabbit-review (name: + directory). This is collision-free on both install paths — /coderabbit-review (skills package) and /coderabbit:coderabbit-review (plugin) — mirrors the existing /coderabbit:coderabbit-review command, and stays correct once #22063 is fixed upstream. Kept the name: field, since every skill here has one (e.g. autofix).

Changes

• rename skills/code-review/ → skills/coderabbit-review/ (name: + version bump)
• update the README reference
• add a CHANGELOG entry

Natural-language triggers ("review my code") are unchanged — only the explicit slash command moves from /code-review to /coderabbit-review.

Closes #18.

Poem

🐰 A name clash was lurking, oh dear, oh no!
/code-review was taken — Claude said "that's mine!"
So Rabbit renamed it with one tiny tweak,
Now coderabbit-review shines bright and unique.
No shadows, no conflicts, just hops in a line! 🎉
