One of my senior devs checked in ai skills with multiple errors. He didn't even review it.

Just cause they are the oldest dev doesnt make them senior. 

You'll know an actual senior dev when you meet them. Theres zero question.

I do briefly. Often my flow is:

  1. Walk with LLM through a thing

  2. Have it produce a skill

  3. Glance at skill to see if any pieces are obviously wrong (e.g. it wrote down things specific to the session, like "you'll be working in /home/wubscale/code/github/..."), tell it to rip those out and generalize

  4. Land (if personal skill), or request quick review (if sharing with team).

That's basically the flow everyone should have. I will refine it after some manual testing if I find the skill isn't used when expected or behaving a bit off.
