- Environment
- Claude Code 2.x
Scaffolded a working internal skill (frontmatter, triggers, reference files) in one session; the description-optimization step measurably improved triggering.
Scored on four weighted criteria — install, triggering, output vs. baseline, docs. How scoring works
- Installs cleanly 5/5
- Triggers reliably 5/5
- Output vs. baseline 9/10
- Docs & honesty 5/5
What it does
If you plan to author skills — for your team or to distribute — start here. It scaffolds the structure, helps write trigger descriptions that actually fire, and runs evals against your skill. Meta, and genuinely useful.
