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.
