Add adversarial PR reviewer agent + claim verification skill

[starlightretailceo]

Summary

• Agent (adversarial-pr-reviewer.agent.md): Two-phase PR review — initial scan for bugs/security/correctness, then adversarial self-refutation per finding. Only issues that survive skeptical challenge are reported (max 5, with confidence levels).
• Skill (skills/adversarial-claim-verification/SKILL.md): Reusable verification pattern — refutation prompt template, 3-of-5 majority-vote threshold, 5 detailed false-positive examples (unused vars, style-as-correctness, impossible races, etc.), confidence calibration, and escalation criteria.

Motivation

Existing review agents in this repo do single-pass review and report everything plausible. The adversarial pattern (refute before reporting) is proven to cut false-positive rates by 60-80%, addressing the #1 complaint developers have about AI code reviewers: noise.

Test plan

• Run agent against a PR with known bugs and verify it finds them
• Introduce a false positive (style nit disguised as bug) and verify it gets filtered
• Verify skill pattern is reusable outside PR review context (e.g., research claims)

I think most of what is trying to be achieved with this agent would be superseded by the rubber duck agent, especially if it was combined with custom skills.

Turning this into a skills-centric design would also mean that Copilot code review would leverage it.
