Summary

  • Add blockquote after comparison table linking to command-development and skill-development skills
  • Add cross-reference after "Choose Commands When" section
  • Add cross-reference after "Choose Skills When" section

Problem

Fixes #18

Users reading the agent-development skill's comparison section (agents vs commands vs skills) had no direct links to learn more about developing those other component types.

Solution

Added three cross-references to help users discover related skills:

  1. A blockquote after the comparison table: "See also: For command development, load the command-development skill. For skill development, load the skill-development skill."
  2. After "Choose Commands When": reference to command-development skill
  3. After "Choose Skills When": reference to skill-development skill

Alternatives Considered

  • Adding hyperlinks: Not applicable since skills are invoked by name, not URLs
  • Adding to a separate "Related Skills" section: Would be less discoverable; inline references are more contextual

Changes

  • plugins/plugin-dev/skills/agent-development/SKILL.md: Added 3 cross-references (6 lines)

Testing

  • Word count verified: 1,672 words (within 1,500-2,000 ideal range)
  • Linting passes: markdownlint shows no issues
  • Cross-referenced skills exist and are valid

Summary

Looks good - This PR adds helpful cross-references that improve discoverability

What's Good

  1. Strategic placement: Cross-references are placed exactly where users would benefit most:

    • After the comparison table (overview reference)
    • After "Choose Commands When" section (contextual reference)
    • After "Choose Skills When" section (contextual reference)
  2. Clean implementation: The additions are concise and follow markdown best practices:

    • Blockquote format for the table reference creates nice visual separation
    • Inline references use consistent phrasing
    • Skills are referenced by their invocation names (not URLs)
  3. Quality checks pass:

    • ✅ Markdownlint: No issues
    • ✅ Cross-referenced skills exist: Both command-development and skill-development confirmed
    • ✅ Word count (1,672): Well within ideal range (1,500-2,000)
  4. Addresses real UX gap: Issue feat(agent-development): add cross-references to related skills #18 correctly identified that users reading the comparison section had no way to discover the related skills without prior knowledge

Checklist Verification

From the PR description:

  • ✅ Word count verified: 1,672 words (within range)
  • ✅ Linting passes: Confirmed with markdownlint --config .markdownlint.json
  • ✅ Cross-referenced skills exist: Both skills confirmed in plugins/plugin-dev/skills/

Suggestions

None - this is a straightforward documentation improvement that enhances the user experience without introducing any issues.
