nemoclaw-maintainer-cut-release-tag

Cuts one signed NemoClaw semver tag after required candidate checks and the maintainer's E2E decision, then follows the tag-triggered release work and drafts the Announcement. Use when preparing or publishing a vX.Y.Z release tag.

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

A well-structured, executable release procedure with strong validation checkpoints and a genuine progressive-disclosure split to candidate-evidence.md. The only lever for improvement is trimming the redundancy between the Hard Rules block and the numbered workflow steps.

Dimension	Reasoning	Score
Conciseness	The body is dense and assumes Claude's competence — no preamble about what a semver tag is — but the 'Hard Rules' section overlaps materially with guidance restated in the numbered workflow, which could be consolidated.	4 / 5
Actionability	Provides copy-paste-ready, fully executable commands with explicit flags and placeholders (release:plan, handoff-summary.ts, release:cut with --confirm) plus the exact confirmation phrase template, covering the common cases.	5 / 5
Workflow Clarity	A clear 6-step checklist with explicit validation checkpoints — required confirmation phrase before cutting, script remote readback of the signed tag, 'helper refuses to overwrite an existing brief' — plus a Recovery section providing error feedback loops for a destructive/risky operation.	5 / 5
Progressive Disclosure	SKILL.md stays an overview with the workflow inline while the bulk of evidence-reading detail is split into the real, clearly signaled one-level reference references/candidate-evidence.md (verified present, ~504 lines, no nested .md references); sibling-skill links are navigation, not nested detail.	5 / 5

Description

87%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, domain-specific description that clearly states what the skill does and when to invoke it, in proper third person. It is highly concrete and distinct; the only minor gap is that 'tag-triggered release work' is slightly abstract where a fuller action enumeration would push specificity to 5.

Dimension	Reasoning	Score
Specificity	Names the NemoClaw domain and several concrete actions — 'Cuts one signed NemoClaw semver tag', 'follows the tag-triggered release work', 'drafts the Announcement' — but 'tag-triggered release work' is slightly abstract, leaving minor coverage gaps versus a fully enumerated list.	4 / 5
Completeness	Explicitly answers both what ('Cuts one signed NemoClaw semver tag... drafts the Announcement') and when ('Use when preparing or publishing a vX.Y.Z release tag') with a concrete trigger phrase.	5 / 5
Trigger Term Quality	Includes natural domain terms a maintainer would say — 'release tag', 'vX.Y.Z release tag', 'publishing', 'signed semver tag' — with good coverage, though a few common phrasings like 'cut a release' are implied rather than spelled out.	4 / 5
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk	Occupies a clear NemoClaw-specific niche (signed semver tag cutting after candidate checks and E2E decision) with distinct triggers and minimal risk of firing for an unrelated skill.	5 / 5
