environment-setup-assistant

Generate setup scripts and instructions for development environments across platforms. Use when: (1) Setting up new development machines (Python, Node.js, Docker, databases), (2) Creating automated setup scripts for team onboarding, (3) Need cross-platform setup instructions (macOS, Linux, Windows), (4) Installing development tools and dependencies, (5) Configuring version managers and package managers. Provides executable setup scripts, platform-specific guides, and tool installation instructions.

Quality

Content

67%Weight 40%Scale 1-5

Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.

Highly actionable content with excellent bundle-file navigation and real executable scripts, weakened by notable verbosity — repeated full example scripts and a section teaching bash basics Claude already knows. Workflow and file structure are solid with minor gaps.

Suggestions

Remove or relocate the "Best Practices" section (idempotency, OS detection, set -e, progress echo) — these are bash idioms Claude already knows and consume context without adding skill-specific value.

Collapse the three full generated example scripts (Scenario 1, Scenario 2, Complete Example) into one representative example plus short diffs, since they repeat the same brew/nvm/verification patterns.

Add an explicit validate→fix→retry loop to the Workflow's verification step (e.g., "if a tool fails verification, re-run its install step and verify again") to earn a higher workflow_clarity score.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

The ~490-line body is noticeably verbose: three full generated example bash scripts (Scenarios 1–2 and Complete Example) repeat the same brew/nvm patterns, and a "Best Practices" section teaches bash idioms (idempotency checks, OS detection, set -e, progress echo) that Claude already knows.

2 / 5

Actionability

Fully executable guidance throughout — real bundle scripts referenced (setup_python.sh, setup_nodejs.sh, setup_docker.sh all exist), copy-paste bash blocks, and concrete examples covering Python, Node.js, Docker, and a full-stack JS case.

5 / 5

Workflow Clarity

A clear 5-step Workflow (Assess → Choose Approach → Generate → Include Verification → Add Cleanup) with an explicit verification step and example code, but lacks an explicit validate→fix→retry feedback loop.

4 / 5

Progressive Disclosure

References are well-signaled and one level deep (platform_instructions.md and tool_guides.md with verified anchors, plus scripts/), but the main body inlines Best Practices, Common Patterns, Troubleshooting, and a full Complete Example that could live in reference files.

Description

88%Weight 40%Scale 1-5

Based on the skill's description, can an agent find and select it at the right time? Clear, specific descriptions lead to better discovery.

A strong, well-structured description that clearly states capabilities and provides an explicit enumerated "Use when" trigger list covering platforms, languages, and scenarios. Minor room to tighten trigger synonyms and reduce overlap breadth.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Lists multiple concrete actions — "Generate setup scripts and instructions", "Provides executable setup scripts, platform-specific guides, and tool installation instructions", "Configuring version managers and package managers" — giving comprehensive coverage of the skill's capabilities.

5 / 5

Completeness

Explicitly answers both what ("Generate setup scripts and instructions for development environments across platforms") and when via a numbered "Use when: (1)...(5)" clause with concrete trigger phrases.

5 / 5

Trigger Term Quality

Strong coverage of natural phrases users would say ("setting up new development machines", "team onboarding", "cross-platform setup", Python/Node.js/Docker, macOS/Linux/Windows), but lacks synonym variations and explicit file/manifest mentions that would push it to fully comprehensive.

4 / 5

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

The environment-setup niche is mostly distinct with specific triggers, but broad items like "Installing development tools and dependencies" create minor overlap risk with general dev-tooling skills.
