replicate-issue

Replicate and validate a GitHub issue by spinning up Archon, analyzing the issue, and systematically testing all described symptoms using browser automation. Use when: User wants to reproduce a bug, validate a GitHub issue, confirm a reported problem, or investigate whether an issue is real before working on a fix. Triggers: "replicate issue", "reproduce issue", "validate issue", "confirm bug", "test issue", "can you reproduce", "try to replicate", "verify the bug". Capability: Checks out main, pulls latest, starts Archon, reads the GitHub issue, then uses agent-browser to systematically test every symptom and produce a findings report. NOT for: Fixing issues (use /archon or /exp-piv-loop:fix-issue), general UI testing (use /validate-ui).

Quality

Content

67%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 well-sequenced, highly actionable workflow with strong validation checkpoints and clear phase structure. Its main weakness is mild verbosity from duplicated reminders in the Execution Notes section.

Suggestions

Remove the 'Execution Notes' section or fold only non-duplicated items into it — most of its bullets (use agent-browser not Playwright, take screenshots, read screenshots, close the browser) already appear in Phase 2 and Phase 6.

Replace the '/path/to/archon' placeholder with guidance on how to locate the Archon checkout, or reference an environment variable, so the commands are truly copy-paste ready.

Add an explicit recovery loop when the Phase 0.3 health or frontend check fails (e.g., tail the bun run dev logs and retry) to match the validation rigor of the port-free check.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

The body is mostly efficient with executable bash blocks, but the 'Execution Notes' section rehashes guidance already stated inline (use agent-browser not Playwright, take screenshots, read screenshots, close browser) and a few explanatory asides ('so results are accurate', 'so Archon starts cleanly') could be trimmed.

3 / 5

Actionability

Provides concrete, copy-paste-ready commands for git, pkill/fuser, curl health checks, gh issue view, and agent-browser interactions, with worked REST API examples; minor gaps are the '/path/to/archon' placeholder and unfilled template variables like '{symptom from issue}'.

4 / 5

Workflow Clarity

A clear 7-phase sequence (0 through 7) with explicit validation checkpoints (port-free verification, backend health curl, frontend serving check, re-snapshot after DOM changes) and a findings table; a full error-recovery loop on health-check failure is only weakly implied rather than spelled out.

4 / 5

Progressive Disclosure

Well-organized into clearly headed phases with one clearly signaled one-level reference (loading the /agent-browser skill for command reference) and no nested references; the recommendation option format and summary report template are reasonably inline but could optionally live in a reference file.

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 states concrete capabilities, provides comprehensive natural trigger phrases, answers both what and when, and explicitly disambiguates from adjacent skills. No improvements needed.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Lists multiple concrete actions — 'Checks out main, pulls latest, starts Archon, reads the GitHub issue, then uses agent-browser to systematically test every symptom and produce a findings report' — giving comprehensive, specific coverage rather than vague claims.

5 / 5

Completeness

Explicitly answers both 'what' (replicate/validate a GitHub issue via Archon and browser automation, producing a findings report) and 'when' ('Use when: User wants to reproduce a bug, validate a GitHub issue...'), with concrete trigger phrases and a 'NOT for' boundary.

5 / 5

Trigger Term Quality

An explicit 'Triggers' line enumerates eight natural phrases users would say ('replicate issue', 'reproduce issue', 'can you reproduce', 'try to replicate', 'verify the bug'), covering synonyms comprehensively.

5 / 5

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

A clear niche (GitHub issue replication against Archon) with distinct triggers and an explicit 'NOT for' clause redirecting to /archon, /exp-piv-loop:fix-issue, and /validate-ui, minimizing conflict risk.
