review-renovate

Review Renovate bot PRs that update GitHub Actions dependencies. Verifies supply chain integrity by checking pinned commit SHAs against upstream tagged releases, reviews changelogs for breaking changes, and confirms compatibility with existing workflow configurations. Use when a Renovate PR updates GitHub Actions in .github/workflows/.

Quality

Content

92%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.

The content is a tight, well-sequenced review workflow with concrete commands and explicit validation checkpoints for supply-chain integrity. The main gap is that diff parsing and changelog review steps are guided procedurally rather than with executable code.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

Lean and efficient; it does not re-explain what Renovate or GitHub Actions are, and every step earns its place with minimal restating of the description in the intro.

5 / 5

Actionability

Provides concrete, executable commands (gh pr view/diff, gh api for SHA verification) but steps 2, 4, and 5 give procedural guidance rather than copy-paste-ready code for diff parsing and changelog review.

4 / 5

Workflow Clarity

Six clearly sequenced steps with explicit validation checkpoints — author check ('flag this immediately') and SHA mismatch ('stop and report a supply chain integrity failure. Do not approve the PR') — appropriate for a batch/verification operation.

5 / 5

Progressive Disclosure

A single, well-organized SKILL.md with clear sections (Inputs, numbered Steps, reporting table) and no need for external references; appropriate for a focused single-purpose skill.

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 specific, complete, and well-targeted, explicitly covering both capabilities and a concrete trigger condition in third-person voice. It could only be marginally improved by adding a few more natural synonyms (e.g. 'dependency update').

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Lists multiple concrete actions — 'checking pinned commit SHAs against upstream tagged releases, reviews changelogs for breaking changes, and confirms compatibility with existing workflow configurations' — giving comprehensive, specific coverage of the skill's capabilities.

5 / 5

Completeness

Explicitly answers both what (verifies SHA integrity, reviews changelogs, confirms compatibility) and when ('Use when a Renovate PR updates GitHub Actions in .github/workflows/') with a concrete trigger phrase.

5 / 5

Trigger Term Quality

Includes natural terms a user would say ('Renovate PR', 'GitHub Actions', '.github/workflows/') but omits common synonyms like 'dependency update' or 'supply chain' that users may also mention.

4 / 5

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

Targets a clear niche (Renovate bot PRs updating GitHub Actions) with distinct triggers and minimal overlap risk with other skills.
