gem-release

Automates the complete process of releasing a new version of the openclacky Ruby gem. Supports both stable releases (auto-increment) and pre-release versions (user-specified, e.g., 1.0.0.beta.1). Handles version bumping, testing, building, RubyGems publishing, GitHub Releases, and OSS CDN mirroring.

Quality

Content

88%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.

An exemplary operational skill: fully executable commands, a validated multi-step workflow with explicit error recovery, and dense project-specific knowledge that avoids padding. The only real improvement is splitting some inline detail into reference files and tightening the summary-format rules.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

Nearly all content is project-specific operational detail Claude could not know (attribution rules, the Bing anti-scrape failure mode, WeChat formatting constraints); only minor passages such as the flexible summary template and its rules could be trimmed.

4 / 5

Actionability

Every step is copy-paste ready: exact commands (grep 'VERSION =', git describe --tags --abbrev=0, gh api ... --jq), script invocations with all flag variants (stable, --prerelease, --update-latest, --dry-run), and concrete failure-recovery commands for each error case.

5 / 5

Workflow Clarity

A clear 4-phase agent sequence wraps a 13-step scripted pipeline with explicit checkpoints (clean-tree pre-checks, test suite, CI wait, set -euo pipefail stop-on-failure) and a fix-then-retry error-recovery loop including partial-release handling.

5 / 5

Progressive Disclosure

The single bundle reference (SKILL_DIR/scripts/release.sh) is real and well-signaled, and sections are clearly organized; however, all detail lives inline in SKILL.md when some content (pre-release caveat details, changelog attribution edge cases) could sit in a one-level-deep reference file.

Description

75%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 specific, well-scoped description with comprehensive action coverage and low conflict risk, but it lacks any explicit 'when to use' guidance and could include a few more natural trigger synonyms.

Suggestions

Add a 'Use when...' clause, e.g., "Use when the user asks to release, publish, or ship a new version of the openclacky gem" — this would raise completeness from 3 to 4-5.

Include additional natural trigger variations users might say, such as "publish the gem", "cut a release", or "ship a version", to broaden trigger-term coverage.

Consider naming the slash command or gem name explicitly as a trigger (e.g., "when the user mentions gem-release or a version bump") to sharpen invocation.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

The description lists six concrete actions ("version bumping, testing, building, RubyGems publishing, GitHub Releases, and OSS CDN mirroring") plus a concrete pre-release example ("1.0.0.beta.1"), giving comprehensive coverage of the release workflow.

5 / 5

Completeness

It clearly answers "what" (full release automation for the openclacky gem) but contains no "Use when..." or equivalent explicit trigger clause, which caps completeness at 3 per the judging guidelines.

3 / 5

Trigger Term Quality

Natural phrases like "releasing a new version", "pre-release versions", and "RubyGems publishing" match what a user would say, but common synonyms (e.g., "publish a gem", "ship a release") are absent.

4 / 5

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

"releasing a new version of the openclacky Ruby gem" is a clear niche with distinct triggers (release, publish, gem version); conflict risk with other skills is minimal.
