deerflow-maintainer-orchestrator

Use when a DeerFlow maintainer needs comment-only GitHub issue or PR handling: resolve issue/PR scopes with gh, analyze issues, post or draft issue comments, perform PR review comments, review PR or issue batches, compare competing PRs that target the same issue, give fix strategy, risk classification, and validation guidance. Intended for maintainers and trusted local agents, not general contributors.

Quality

Content

85%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, executable content with well-sequenced workflows and strong validation checkpoints, at the cost of a monolithic single-file structure with no reference files and some cross-flow redundancy. Splitting stable reference material out of SKILL.md would address the weakest dimension.

Suggestions

Move the DeerFlow Review Heuristics, the Validation Guidance surface-to-command table, and the Output templates into one-level-deep reference files (e.g. references/heuristics.md, references/validation.md, references/output-templates.md), keeping SKILL.md as a routing overview.

De-duplicate the prior-coverage/net-new-delta rule: state it once in "Existing Coverage and Re-Runs" and have the Issue Flow and PR Flow prechecks reference it by name instead of restating it.

Consolidate the opener-writing guidance (Issue Flow step 4 and the PR review opener paragraph) into a single shared section to trim repeated instruction.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

The body assumes Claude's competence — no explanations of GitHub, git, or CI basics — and nearly every line instructs, but the net-new-delta/prior-coverage rule is stated in "Existing Coverage and Re-Runs" and re-stated in both the Issue Flow and PR Flow prechecks, and opener-writing guidance appears in both flows. That trimmable repetition keeps it just below the every-token-earns-its-place anchor.

4 / 5

Actionability

Fully executable throughout: exact `gh issue/pr view --json <field list>` commands, `git fetch <base-remote> +refs/heads/...` and `BASE=$(git merge-base ...)` invocations, copy-paste comment and review templates, concrete P0/P1/P2 severity definitions, a surface-to-validation-command table, and concrete output templates — matching the copy-paste-ready anchor.

5 / 5

Workflow Clarity

Sequences are explicit with validation checkpoints and feedback loops throughout — "Immediately before posting, refresh comments; fold any equivalent comment", "Re-check the head SHA immediately before posting... re-review the new diff or abort", and abort/failure paths for unreadable diffs. The batch-operation validation cap does not apply because validation steps are present.

5 / 5

Progressive Disclosure

No bundle files exist and the entire skill is a single ~290-line monolith with good headers, but clearly separable material (DeerFlow Review Heuristics, the Validation Guidance table, the Output templates, the Diff Base Rule) is inlined in SKILL.md instead of one-level-deep reference files — matching the anchor where content that should be separate is inline.

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.

A strong description: explicit Use-when trigger, concrete and comprehensive action list, and a well-defined maintainer-only niche. Trigger term coverage is good though not exhaustive of natural phrasings.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

The description lists many concrete actions — "resolve issue/PR scopes with gh, analyze issues, post or draft issue comments, perform PR review comments, review PR or issue batches, compare competing PRs that target the same issue, give fix strategy, risk classification, and validation guidance" — matching the anchor for multiple specific concrete actions with comprehensive coverage.

5 / 5

Completeness

It explicitly answers both questions: an explicit "Use when a DeerFlow maintainer needs..." trigger clause plus a concrete what via the colon-delimited action list, and an explicit audience boundary ("Intended for maintainers and trusted local agents, not general contributors").

5 / 5

Trigger Term Quality

Natural terms a maintainer would say are well covered ("GitHub issue or PR", "maintainer", "comment", "PR review", "batches", "competing PRs", "fix strategy", "validation"), but a few natural phrasings such as "triage" or plain "handle these issues" are absent, so it sits just below the comprehensive-synonyms anchor.

4 / 5

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

"DeerFlow maintainer", "comment-only GitHub issue or PR handling", and "not general contributors" carve out a clear niche with distinct triggers and an explicit exclusion, giving minimal conflict risk with other skills.
