reviewing-incremental-changes

Use this skill when re-reviewing a PR that already has comments or when responding to developer changes after initial review. Apply when PR threads exist or when reviewing force-pushed commits. Handles incremental reviews, detects addressed feedback, avoids duplicate comments, and focuses only on newly introduced issues.
