Hullo @zbeyens 👋 I ran your skills through `tessl skill review` at work and found some targeted improvements. Here's the full before/after: | Skill | Before | After | Change | |-------|--------|-------|--------| | heal-skill | 0% | 91% | +91% | | proof | 0% | 90% | +90% | | generate-command | 0% | 89% | +89% | | internal-workspace-devdeps-hoist | 0% | 86% | +86% | | compound-docs | 0% | 84% | +84% | | resolve-todo-parallel | 0% | 79% | +79% | | translate | 22% | 86% | +64% | | resolve-parallel | 0% | 63% | +63% | | react | 0% | 61% | +61% | | testing | 0% | 61% | +61% | | lfg | 39% | 100% | +61% | | workflows-compound | 36% | 95% | +59% | | plan | 28% | 86% | +58% | | ce-brainstorm | 43% | 100% | +57% | | workflows-brainstorm | 39% | 95% | +56% | | changeset | 32% | 83% | +51% | | ce-work | 43% | 93% | +50% | | docs-plugin | 39% | 89% | +50% | | sync-testing-skill | 43% | 93% | +50% | | deepen-plan | 38% | 83% | +45% | 84 skills improved across .claude/skills/ and .codex/skills/ — average score went from 47% to 81% (+34%). Changes made: Validation fixes (0% → 60-91%): - Fixed allowed-tools field format: converted YAML arrays to comma-separated strings (compound-docs, heal-skill, proof) - Fixed name field: replaced underscores with hyphens (generate-command, resolve-parallel, resolve-todo-parallel) - Fixed double frontmatter in .codex/skills/react/SKILL.md Description improvements (across 80+ skills): - Replaced generic "Skill: name" placeholders with specific descriptions including concrete actions, trigger terms, and "Use when..." clauses - Added explicit trigger terms users would naturally say when needing each skill - Added clear scope boundaries to reduce skill conflict risk Content improvements: - Added brief overview sections to .claude/skills/ thin wrappers before @file.mdc references - Improved workflow clarity and structure in lower-scoring skills - Fixed typos and informal language Honest disclosure — I work at @tesslio where we build tooling around skills like these. Not a pitch - just saw room for improvement and wanted to contribute. Want to self-improve your skills? Just point your agent (Claude Code, Codex, etc.) at this Tessl guide: https://docs.tessl.io/evaluate/optimize-a-skill-using-best-practices and ask it to optimize your skill. Ping me - @popey - if you hit any snags. Thanks in advance 🙏

Those skills are from claude plugins. Should be fixed upstream. |
