Terminal and TUI automation CLI for AI agents. Use when the user needs to create a terminal session, run a command in a terminal, automate an interactive CLI or TUI, wait for terminal output, capture a TUI screenshot, export a terminal recording, or test a CLI workflow with reviewable artifacts.

Quality

Content

100%Weight 40%Scale 1-3

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 deliberately minimal, well-organized bootstrap that gives executable commands to load the canonical skill and discover more, with no wasted tokens and clear navigation via the CLI as the source of truth. It appropriately defers detail to the CLI-delivered skills rather than duplicating it inline.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

The body is roughly five lean lines where every token earns its place and assumes Claude's competence, with no explanation of what a terminal or TUI is, matching the score-3 'lean and efficient' anchor; it is not score 2 because there is no unnecessary explanation to tighten.

3 / 3

Actionability

Provides fully executable, copy-paste-ready commands such as 'agent-tty skills get agent-tty', 'agent-tty skills list', and 'agent-tty skills get dogfood-tui', matching the score-3 anchor; it is not score 2 because these are real executable commands rather than pseudocode or incomplete guidance.

3 / 3

Workflow Clarity

This is a simple single-purpose bootstrap under 50 lines whose single action ('Load the full canonical core skill from the CLI before doing terminal automation') is unambiguous, and it involves no destructive or batch operations requiring validation checkpoints, so per the simple-skills scoring note it qualifies for score 3.

3 / 3

Progressive Disclosure

No bundle files exist, and the body is well-organized with a single, clearly signaled level of indirection (loading canonical skills from the CLI), explicitly justified as 'intentionally stays minimal so the CLI remains the source of truth'; per the under-50-lines guideline, well-organized content with clear navigation earns score 3.

Description

100%Weight 40%Scale 1-3

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 concise, specific, and complete, naming many concrete terminal/TUI actions with natural trigger terms and an explicit 'Use when' clause in third-person voice. It is clearly distinguishable from other skills and unlikely to conflict.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Lists many concrete actions such as 'create a terminal session, run a command in a terminal, automate an interactive CLI or TUI, wait for terminal output, capture a TUI screenshot, export a terminal recording', matching the score-3 anchor of multiple specific concrete actions; it is not score 2 because the actions are comprehensive rather than partial.

3 / 3

Completeness

Clearly answers both what ('Terminal and TUI automation CLI for AI agents') and when via an explicit 'Use when the user needs to create a terminal session...' clause, satisfying the score-3 requirement for both what and when with explicit triggers.

3 / 3

Trigger Term Quality

Uses natural user-facing terms like 'terminal session', 'run a command', 'TUI', 'capture a TUI screenshot', and 'export a terminal recording', giving broad coverage of phrases a user would actually say; it exceeds the score-2 anchor which only has partial keyword coverage.

3 / 3

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

Occupies a clear niche (terminal/TUI automation producing inspectable sessions and reviewable artifacts) with distinct triggers, and uses third-person voice ('Use when the user needs...'), making it unlikely to fire for the wrong skill; not score 2 because the niche and triggers are unambiguous.
