breaking-change-doc

Generate breaking change documentation for merged dotnet/runtime PRs. USE FOR: creating breaking change docs, "document this breaking change", "write breaking change issue for PR #NNNNN", processing PRs labeled needs-breaking-change-doc-created. DO NOT USE FOR: general code review (use code-review skill), bug fixes, API proposals (use api-proposal skill).

Quality

Content

77%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.

A highly actionable, well-sequenced workflow with strong validation checkpoints and error recovery. Its weaknesses are verbosity in the version-detection explanation and a lack of progressive disclosure — most detail lives inline in a single long file rather than being split into reference files.

Suggestions

Tighten Step 2: collapse the repeated 'display/print the full JSON output' directives into one instruction and convert the dense release-branch/backport narrative into a compact table or bullet list.

Split large inline reference material into one-level-deep files (e.g. move the feature-area mapping table to references/feature-areas.md and the version-detection logic to references/version-detection.md) and link to them from the main steps.

Move the issue-template section structure and quality guidelines into a references/issue-template.md so SKILL.md stays a concise overview pointing to detail.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

The body is largely high-value domain-specific procedure, but Step 2's version-detection prose is long-winded and repeats emphasis ('You MUST display the complete script output', 'print the full JSON output') that could be tightened without losing clarity.

2 / 3

Actionability

Provides fully executable commands with concrete arguments — the Get-VersionInfo.ps1 and Build-IssueComment.ps1 invocations, the gh api template fetch, exact output paths, and parameter-by-parameter guidance — making the guidance copy-paste ready.

3 / 3

Workflow Clarity

A clearly sequenced Step 0–6 process with explicit validation checkpoints (duplicate check that stops, version Error fallback, Tentative backport confirmation) and a Troubleshooting table providing error-recovery feedback loops.

3 / 3

Progressive Disclosure

The file is a ~360-line monolithic document with no documentation reference files split out; dense content such as the version-detection explanation and the feature-area mapping table is inline where separate reference files would aid navigation.

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.

A strong, well-structured description that states a concrete capability, gives explicit natural-language triggers via USE FOR / DO NOT USE FOR clauses, and clearly distinguishes itself from sibling skills. No changes needed.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Lists several concrete actions tied to a specific domain — 'Generate breaking change documentation for merged dotnet/runtime PRs', 'creating breaking change docs', 'write breaking change issue for PR #NNNNN' — rather than vague language, matching the multiple-specific-actions anchor.

3 / 3

Completeness

Explicitly answers both what (generate breaking change documentation for merged dotnet/runtime PRs) and when via a 'USE FOR:' clause with concrete triggers, plus a 'DO NOT USE FOR:' exclusion list.

3 / 3

Trigger Term Quality

Includes natural phrasings a user would actually say ('document this breaking change', 'write breaking change issue for PR #NNNNN', 'processing PRs labeled needs-breaking-change-doc-created'), giving good coverage of trigger terms.

3 / 3

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

Occupies a clear niche (breaking change docs for dotnet/runtime PRs) and explicitly deflects overlapping cases to sibling skills ('use code-review skill', 'use api-proposal skill'), making wrong-skill triggering unlikely.
