Hey @krispuckett 👋

"Find the skill issues before they find you" - the HR department framing is perfect. Inventory, usage tracking, health checks, and keep/update/remove recommendations for your entire skill roster. Love that it credits Josh Puckett for immediately knowing it had to be called /skill-issue. Wanted to suggest a few improvements to the SKILL.md.

I ran your skills through tessl skill review at work and found some targeted improvements. Here's the full before/after:

score_card

Your skill was already in great shape - 95% out of the gate. The reviewer flagged two areas in the Content dimension (88% → 100%):

Changes made
  • Added example output section - shows the actual markdown report format the audit produces, so agents know exactly what to expect and can interpret results for the user
  • Added "Acting on Results" section - a quick reference for each recommendation type (keep/update/review/remove) with concrete next steps, including a verification note before removing skills with broken deps

Both additions directly addressed the workflow_clarity dimension (scored 2/3 → 3/3), which wanted a clearer post-audit workflow for acting on recommendations.

Honest disclosure. I work at https://github.com/tesslio where we build tooling around skills like these. Not a pitch - just saw room for improvement and wanted to contribute.

I also added a lightweight GitHub Action that auto-reviews any skill.md changed in a PR (includes min permissions, uses a pinned action version, only posts a review comment).

This means that it gives you and your contributors an instant quality signal before you have to review yourself (no signup, no tokens needed).

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 - @yogesh-tessl (https://github.com/yogesh-tessl) - if you hit any snags.

Thanks in advance 🙏
