cli-for-agents

Designs or reviews CLIs so coding agents can run them reliably: non-interactive flags, layered --help with examples, stdin/pipelines, fast actionable errors, idempotency, dry-run, and predictable structure. Use when building a CLI, adding commands, writing --help, or when the user mentions agents, terminals, or automation-friendly CLIs.

Quality

Content

100%

Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.

A tight, actionable body: concrete examples throughout, clear topical organization, and an explicit review checklist. It respects token budget while remaining copy-paste useful.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

Lean bullets and short illustrative blocks; assumes Claude's competence without explaining what a CLI or pipeline is. Every section earns its tokens.

3 / 3

Actionability

Provides concrete, copy-pasteable patterns: bad/good invocations, a full --help block, an error message with a correct example invocation, and structured success output.

3 / 3

Workflow Clarity

Not a destructive/batch operation so no validation checkpoint is required; the 'When reviewing an existing CLI' section gives an explicit checklist and design guidance is clearly organized by topic.

3 / 3

Progressive Disclosure

Self-contained skill with no bundle files; well-organized into clearly headed sections (non-interactive, --help, stdin/pipelines, errors, idempotency, etc.) and no nested references.

Description

100%

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: third-person, specific, with explicit 'Use when' triggers covering natural user phrasing and a well-scoped niche. No vague fluff or over-claims.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Lists multiple concrete capabilities ('non-interactive flags, layered --help with examples, stdin/pipelines, fast actionable errors, idempotency, dry-run, and predictable structure') rather than vague language.

3 / 3

Completeness

Explicitly answers both what ('Designs or reviews CLIs so coding agents can run them reliably...') and when ('Use when building a CLI, adding commands, writing --help...').

3 / 3

Trigger Term Quality

Covers natural terms users would say ('building a CLI, adding commands, writing --help, or when the user mentions agents, terminals, or automation-friendly CLIs').

3 / 3

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

Clear niche (agent-friendly CLIs) with distinct, specific triggers unlikely to conflict with other skills.

Checks the skill against the spec for correct structure and formatting. All validation checks must pass before discovery and implementation can be scored.
