Hullo @am-will 👋 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 | |-------|--------|-------|--------| | agent-browser | 0% | 90% | +90% | | frontend-responsive-ui | 0% | 89% | +89% | | swarm-planner | 45% | 89% | +44% | | plan-harder | 57% | 89% | +32% | | parallel-task | 50% | 81% | +31% | | parallel | 50% | 81% | +31% | | parallel-task-spark | 54% | 81% | +27% | | super-swarm-spark | 54% | 81% | +27% | | markdown-url | 72% | 93% | +21% | | role-creator | 76% | 93% | +17% | | frontend-design | 59% | 71% | +12% | | vercel-react-best-practices | 77% | 86% | +9% | Six skills were already scoring well (89-100%) and didn't need changes: context7, llm-council, planner, read-github, openai-docs-skill, gemini-computer-use. **Fixed validation errors (agent-browser, frontend-responsive-ui)** - Corrected `name` fields to use lowercase kebab-case (`agent-browser` instead of `Agent Browser`, `frontend-responsive-ui` instead of `Frontend Responsive Design Standards`) - Removed unsupported frontmatter keys (`read_when`, inline JSON `metadata`) from agent-browser **Expanded minimal descriptions (6 skills)** - parallel-task-spark, parallel-task, parallel, plan-harder, super-swarm-spark, swarm-planner all had descriptions that only said "triggered by explicit command" with no explanation of what they do - Added concrete capability descriptions explaining the orchestration patterns, scheduling modes, and validation approaches each skill uses - Added explicit "Use when..." clauses so agents can make informed selection decisions **Improved mid-scoring descriptions (4 skills)** - frontend-design: Added specific concrete actions (responsive layouts, CSS animations, forms, navigation) and more trigger terms (UI elements, websites, landing pages, dashboards) - markdown-url: Replaced verbose multi-line description with concise single line covering what it does and when to use it - role-creator: Added "Use when..." clause with natural language triggers (create custom agent, configure roles, set up persona) - vercel-react-best-practices: Added specific optimization techniques and natural trigger terms (slow page loads, bundle sizes, Core Web Vitals, Lighthouse scores) **Description format standardisation** - Converted all chevron (`>`) YAML descriptions to quoted strings for consistent frontmatter format **Fixed step numbering** - swarm-planner had duplicate "Step 4" labels — renumbered to sequential 1-6 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 (https://github.com/popey) - if you hit any snags. Thanks in advance 🙏
