kapa-docs-review

Review recent conversations with the CircleCI docs bot (Kapa) to find content gaps, wrong answers, and questions the bot could not answer. Fixes what can be fixed in docs by opening pull requests, and reports everything else with a category. Use when the user asks to review Kapa conversations, find docs gaps from the bot, run the weekly Kapa review, or check what the bot could not answer. Takes an optional period, such as "last 7 days" (default) or "last 6 weeks".

Quality

Content

96%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 body is a dense, highly actionable workflow with strong validation checkpoints, explicit failure handling, and careful privacy boundaries for customer data. Its only structural weakness is that all operational detail lives inline in one file; a few self-contained blocks (bug workarounds, Linear ticket spec) could be moved to reference files to keep SKILL.md as an overview.

Suggestions

Move the dated Kapa MCP bug-workaround log (step 1, item 3) into a reference file (e.g. references/mcp-bugs.md) so the main workflow stays lean and the workaround list can be deleted wholesale when the bugs are fixed.

Extract the detailed Linear ticket formatting rules (step 7) into a reference file, keeping only the ticket's team, title, and duplicate-check rules in SKILL.md.

Consider moving the full category/action table (step 4) to a reference file with a one-line summary of the two lists (PR-ready vs Confirm first) inline.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

Lean and efficient throughout: no concept explanations, no padding, and every line carries operational detail the model could not infer (e.g. 'Set `updated_since` to the start of the period and `include=feedback,interaction_tags`. Use `page_size` 20 and page with the cursor until you pass the end of the period'). The dated bug-workaround note is not date-conditional guidance and includes a self-cleanup rule ('If a call that this note says fails now works, delete the workaround'), so it does not warrant a penalty. Anchor 5 'Lean and efficient; assumes Claude's competence; every token earns its place' is the best fit; anchor 4 ('minor instances of over-explanation that could be trimmed') would require at least some trimmable passages, which are absent.

5 / 5

Actionability

Fully executable instruction-only guidance: exact tool names and arguments (`list_threads` with `integration`, `page_size` 20, `include=feedback,interaction_tags`), concrete shell commands ('gh pr list --state open --search "<topic>"', then 'gh pr diff'), a concrete report path and filename pattern (`kapa-review-<since>-<until>.md` in `~/kapa-reviews/`), exact ticket title format, and a complete category-to-action table. Per the scoring notes, absence of code in an instruction-only skill is not penalized when guidance is this actionable. Matches anchor 5 'Fully executable; copy-paste ready code or commands'; anchor 4's 'minor gaps' does not apply.

5 / 5

Workflow Clarity

Seven clearly sequenced steps with explicit validation checkpoints and feedback loops appropriate to a batch operation: counts are cross-checked ('Compare the pairs you got with the `get_project_activity` count. ... Report any real shortfall'), a retry-with-halving loop has an explicit stop condition ('At `page_size` 1, stop, record the gap... Do not loop'), subagent claims are re-verified before acting ('Before opening any PR, re-check the claim yourself against the repo'), PR-cap and dry-run limits are defined, and the created ticket is checked afterwards ('After creating or updating the ticket, check that the PR links and counts in the saved description are right'). The batch-operation cap at 3 does not apply because validation is present and thorough. Matches anchor 5 'Clear sequence with explicit validation steps; feedback loops for error recovery'.

5 / 5

Progressive Disclosure

The single file is well organized with clear sections, and it appropriately defers shared rules to an external file rather than duplicating them ('Follow `AGENTS.md` for everything about writing and validating the change... Do not restate those rules here'), with no nested references. However, the skill is a >50-line monolith where some self-contained detail could live in reference files (the dated MCP bug-workaround log, the full Linear ticket formatting rules, the category table), which slightly exceeds a lean single-file overview. This sits between anchor 5 (which would call for content appropriately split across files) and the well-organized-sections case, so 4 fits best. No bundle files (references/, scripts/, assets/) exist, so structure is judged on the file itself: good structure, minor organization gaps.

Description

100%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 exemplary: it names the domain with a synonym, lists concrete capabilities, provides four explicit natural-language trigger phrases, and even documents an optional parameter with defaults. Both 'what' and 'when' are answered explicitly, and conflict risk with other skills is minimal.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Lists multiple specific concrete actions with comprehensive coverage: 'Review recent conversations... to find content gaps, wrong answers, and questions the bot could not answer', 'Fixes what can be fixed in docs by opening pull requests', and 'reports everything else with a category'. This matches the anchor 'Lists multiple specific concrete actions; comprehensive coverage' rather than anchor 4, since no capability is left vague.

5 / 5

Completeness

Clearly answers 'what' (review conversations, find gaps and wrong answers, fix docs via PRs, report with categories) and 'when' with explicit concrete trigger phrases ('Use when the user asks to review Kapa conversations, find docs gaps from the bot, run the weekly Kapa review, or check what the bot could not answer'). This is the anchor-5 pattern; anchor 4's 'when could be more explicit' does not apply, and the optional 'period' parameter is also stated ('last 7 days' (default) or 'last 6 weeks').

5 / 5

Trigger Term Quality

Includes the tool name plus a synonym ('CircleCI docs bot (Kapa)') and four natural user phrasings: 'review Kapa conversations', 'find docs gaps from the bot', 'run the weekly Kapa review', 'check what the bot could not answer'. Coverage is comprehensive for the domain; anchor 4 ('a few natural terms missing') does not fit because every plausible way a user would ask for this skill is covered.

5 / 5

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

Clear niche with distinct triggers: the description is scoped to the CircleCI docs bot Kapa and its conversations, so it would not trigger for generic docs-review or PR skills. Matches 'Clear niche with distinct triggers; minimal conflict risk'.
