What problem does it solve?

Generic or underdeveloped AI skills often fail to provide actionable guidance, leading to frustration and wasted time. This skill provides a structured, evidence-based process to enhance their quality and utility.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Self-Evaluation Rubric: Rate skills on criteria like decision trees, concrete values, and primary source grounding to pinpoint weaknesses.
  • Primary Source Research: Guide the AI to read actual source code and documentation for precise, actionable data, moving beyond summaries.
  • Structured Rewriting: Apply best practices for skill structure, including actionable decision trees and documented anti-patterns.
  • Dual Validation: Ensure improvements with both consult-deep AI review and the creation of a validating artifact, proving real-world effectiveness.

Quick Start

Improve the 'consult-light' skill by adding more concrete values and a clearer decision tree for model selection.
