Hey @BugRoger 👋 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 | |-------|--------|-------|--------| | design | 72% | 94% | +22% | | validate | 76% | 94% | +18% | | plan | 79% | 94% | +15% | | release | 76% | 89% | +13% | | implement | 81% | 90% | +9% | This PR is intentionally scoped to 5 skills to keep it reviewable — the remaining `beastmode` skill (82%) can be improved in a follow-up. <details> <summary>Changes summary</summary> **Across all 5 skills:** - **Expanded frontmatter descriptions** with explicit "Use when..." clauses listing natural trigger phrases (e.g., "spec out a feature", "cut a release", "run tests") so agents select the right skill more reliably - **Added concrete action lists** in descriptions instead of vague verbs — e.g., "executes unit and integration tests, runs linters, checks type correctness" instead of "testing, linting, validating" - **Added example TodoWrite structure** inside each HARD-GATE block so agents have a concrete first-action reference without needing to load phase files - **Added validation feedback loops** in Phase 2 descriptions (e.g., "If failures → fix and re-run before proceeding") to make error recovery visible at the top level - **Quoted description strings** in frontmatter for standard YAML formatting </details> 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 - [@rohan-tessl](https://github.com/rohan-tessl) - if you hit any snags. Thanks in advance 🙏
