trellis-spec-bootstrap

Bootstrap project-specific Trellis coding specs with a platform-neutral single-agent workflow. Use when creating or refreshing .trellis/spec guidelines, analyzing a codebase with GitNexus, ABCoder, or source inspection, decomposing package/layer spec work, and writing real codebase-backed spec docs without placeholder text.

78%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.

A lean, well-structured instruction-only skill: no token waste, excellent reference routing, and a verification-backed workflow. The main gap is actionability — several workflow steps describe intent rather than give executable instructions (what to run, check, or read first).

Suggestions

Add minimal executable detail to Workflow steps — e.g. how to verify Trellis is initialized (a concrete path or command to check) and what a first GitNexus/ABCoder analysis pass concretely looks like, even if only one inline example.

Add a short failure-handling branch after the verification step: what to do when specs are inconsistent or placeholders remain (fix, re-check, re-run index.md sync), turning the Done Criteria into a feedback loop.

Consider inlining one tiny skeleton example of a source-backed spec rule (file path + rule + anti-pattern) in the spec-writing context so the 'concrete patterns, file paths, examples, and anti-patterns' instruction has an executable model to follow.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

The ~40-line body is all instruction and zero concept explanation — no padding, no definitions Claude already knows. Intro, workflow, routing table, rules, and done criteria each carry distinct, non-redundant routing or decision information.

5 / 5

Actionability

Guidance is directionally concrete (named tools, specific file tree, concrete done criteria like "index.md files match the final spec file set") but steps lack execution detail — e.g. "Confirm Trellis is initialized" gives no command or check to run, and how to actually analyze with GitNexus/ABCoder is deferred without inline minimal instructions.

3 / 5

Workflow Clarity

The five-step sequence is clear with an explicit verification step ("Verify that the final specs are internally consistent and contain no template placeholders") plus a Done Criteria checklist. Falls short of a 5 because there is no fix-and-retry feedback loop spelling out what to do when verification fails.

4 / 5

Progressive Disclosure

The body is a concise overview with a Reference Routing table mapping each need to one of four references (repository-analysis, spec-task-planning, spec-writing, mcp-setup) — all real files, one level deep with no further nesting, well-signaled and easy to navigate.

Description

92%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.

The description is explicit, action-oriented, and third person, with a clear what/when structure anchored to a distinct niche. Trigger phrasing covers the domain well but omits a few natural synonyms a user might use.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

"Bootstrap project-specific Trellis coding specs", "creating or refreshing .trellis/spec guidelines", "analyzing a codebase with GitNexus, ABCoder, or source inspection", "decomposing package/layer spec work", and "writing real codebase-backed spec docs without placeholder text" list multiple specific concrete actions with comprehensive coverage of the skill's scope.

5 / 5

Completeness

Clearly answers both: the "what" ("Bootstrap project-specific Trellis coding specs with a platform-neutral single-agent workflow") and an explicit "Use when..." clause with concrete trigger phrases (creating or refreshing specs, analyzing a codebase, decomposing spec work, writing spec docs).

5 / 5

Trigger Term Quality

Good keyword coverage for the niche ("Trellis", ".trellis/spec", "spec guidelines", "GitNexus", "ABCoder", "spec docs", "placeholder text") that a user needing this skill would plausibly say, but common natural variations such as "coding standards", "conventions", or "style guide" are missing.

4 / 5

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

The Trellis/.trellis-spec niche is highly distinct with specific named tools (GitNexus, ABCoder) and an explicit file path trigger; minimal overlap risk with other skills.
