Hey @moasq 👋

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
safari-extension 49% 79% +30%
nanowave-pipeline-development 63% 89% +26%
share-extension 66% 79% +13%
app-clips 70% 86% +16%
authentication 70% 86% +16%

This PR is intentionally capped at five skills to keep it reviewable. The included GitHub Action workflow (see below) will surface Tessl feedback on future SKILL.md changes, so the rest of the library can improve incrementally.

Changes summary

safari-extension, share-extension, app-clips — These three skills had their entire content duplicated below a --- separator, which was tanking scores. Removed the duplication, properly fenced all code blocks with Swift language hints, added structured markdown sections with clear headings, and expanded frontmatter descriptions with specific capabilities.

nanowave-pipeline-development — Expanded the frontmatter description to include specific technical components (6-phase flow, parseClaudeJSON[T], ComposeAgenticSystemPrompt) and added an explicit "Use when..." trigger clause. Content was already solid — description was the main improvement area.

authentication — Expanded the frontmatter description to cover all auth modes, Supabase delegation, and session lifecycle. Added a decision table for auth method selection (replaces the plain list), added inline Swift code example for dependency injection pattern, and improved formatting consistency.

🤖 Included: Tessl Skill Review GitHub Action

This PR also adds .github/workflows/skill-review.yml so future PRs that touch SKILL.md files get automatic feedback:

  • What runs: On PRs that change **/SKILL.md, the workflow runs tesslio/skill-review and posts one comment with Tessl scores and feedback (updated on new pushes).
  • Zero extra accounts: Contributors do not need a Tessl login — only the default GITHUB_TOKEN is used to post the comment.
  • Non-blocking by default: The check is feedback-only — no surprise red CI. No fail-threshold is set.
  • Not a build replacement: This is review automation for skill markdown only — it doesn't touch your GoReleaser pipeline or any other CI.
  • Optional gate: If you ever want PRs to fail on low skill scores, just add with: fail-threshold: 70 (or any score) to the workflow step.
  • Why only five skills here: Keeps this PR reviewable. After merge, every PR that touches SKILL.md gets automatic review comments, so the rest of the library improves incrementally.

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 and ask it to optimize your skill. Ping me - @rohan-tessl - if you hit any snags.

Thanks in advance 🙏
