auto-updater

Automatically apply improvements to skills and the ecosystem based on system-reviewer findings and best-practices-learner insights. Workflow for automated improvement identification, priority assessment, safe application, validation, and rollback capability. Use when applying systematic improvements, automating enhancement cycles, bulk updating multiple skills, or implementing ecosystem-wide improvements.

Quality

Content

66%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 body excels at workflow sequencing — validation and rollback checkpoints are explicit and well-suited to this risky batch-operation skill — and it never wastes tokens explaining known concepts. Its weaknesses are non-executable guidance (named tools but no commands or templates) and significant structural duplication between the detailed steps, the example, and the Quick Reference.

Suggestions

Make guidance executable: include the actual commands and invocations (e.g., the git backup command, how to run skill-validator and review-multi) and a copy-paste template for the 'Quick Reference section' the example workflow applies.

De-duplicate the Safe/NOT Safe lists and step enumeration: keep them once in the detailed workflow and have the Quick Reference table summarize them in one line each instead of repeating them verbatim.

Trim the worked example to the decision-relevant lines (safety assessment and a failure/rollback case) and, if full walkthroughs are useful, move them to a references/example file so SKILL.md stays an overview.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

The prose itself is lean with no concept over-explanation, but the content is repeated: the 5 steps are enumerated three times (Overview list, detailed workflow section, Quick Reference table) and the Safe/NOT Safe lists appear verbatim in both Step 2 and the Quick Reference, with a 34-line example of largely predictable ✅ lines. This is more than 'could be tightened' (anchor 4 territory) but the padding is structural duplication, not explained-known-concepts, so it sits above anchor 2.

3 / 5

Actionability

Guidance names concrete steps and tools — "Backup affected skills (git commit or copy)", "Run skill-validator (pass/fail)", "Run review-multi structure check" — but nothing is executable: no git/script commands, no invocation syntax for skill-validator or review-multi, and no copy-paste template for the 'Quick Reference section' the skill's own example applies. This matches 'some concrete guidance but incomplete; missing key details' rather than 'mostly executable guidance'.

3 / 5

Workflow Clarity

The 5-step sequence is explicit and clearly ordered, with a dedicated validation step (skill-validator pass/fail, structure score maintained, visual inspection) and a full rollback feedback loop (identify failure → restore backup → analyze → mark manual-only). The batch-operation validation cap is satisfied: 'One skill at a time, validate each before moving to next' plus the Quick Reference table acting as a checklist match the anchor for explicit validation with error-recovery loops.

5 / 5

Progressive Disclosure

No bundle files exist and none are needed; the body has clear, well-organized sections with no nested references. It misses a 5 because the file is ~170 lines with a long worked example inlined that could live in a references file, and the Quick Reference duplication suggests organization could improve — consistent with 'good structure; minor organization gaps'.

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 solid description with an explicit 'Use when' clause, multiple named workflow actions, and distinct anchoring to its source systems. Its main weakness is circularity between the 'what' and the 'when', plus trigger phrases that cluster around one concept family ('improvements') rather than covering natural synonyms.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

The description lists several named actions — "improvement identification, priority assessment, safe application, validation, and rollback capability" — going well beyond naming the domain. It falls short of a 5 because these are abstract workflow stages rather than concrete manipulations; what an 'improvement' actually is (e.g., adding sections, format standardization) never appears in the description.

4 / 5

Completeness

Both 'what' ("Automatically apply improvements to skills and the ecosystem based on system-reviewer findings and best-practices-learner insights") and 'when' (explicit "Use when..." clause) are present. It misses a 5 because the 'when' largely restates the 'what' (apply improvements → use when applying improvements), so it doesn't sharpen the boundary against doing the work manually.

4 / 5

Trigger Term Quality

The 'Use when' clause offers four trigger phrases — "applying systematic improvements, automating enhancement cycles, bulk updating multiple skills, or implementing ecosystem-wide improvements" — with 'bulk updating multiple skills' being especially natural. It is not a 5 because common variations like 'batch updates', 'update all skills', or 'apply reviewer recommendations' are missing, and 'enhancement cycles' leans jargon-y.

4 / 5

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

The niche is clear — automated, validated, rollback-capable application of improvements sourced from named systems (system-reviewer, best-practices-learner). Minor overlap risk remains with closely related ecosystem-maintenance skills, since 'implementing ecosystem-wide improvements' is a broad trigger.
