Hey @bleikamp 👋

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

Skill Before After Change
sentry 84% 94% +10%
Changes to sentry
  • Expanded frontmatter description - added specific actions (stack traces, breadcrumbs, event details) and natural trigger terms (Sentry issue, exception, crash, error event, error tracking alerts) so Claude selects the skill more reliably. Fixed typo ("investgate" → "investigate").
  • Condensed fix guidance - merged the Anti-Patterns, Defense in Depth, and Match Existing Codebase Patterns sections into a single concise "Fix Guidelines" section. Claude already understands these software engineering principles - a brief reminder is more token-efficient than three separate sections restating them.

also stress-tested your kit-cli-navigator skill against a few real-world task evals and it held up really well on tracing null dereference root causes upstream through multi-layer call chains. Kudos for that.

quick 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.

If you want to self-improve your skills, or define your own scenarios to pressure test, just ask your agent (Claude Code, Codex, etc.) to evaluate and optimize your skill with Tessl. Ping me @yogesh-tessl, if you hit any snags.

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 🙏
