043-planning-github-issues

Use when you need GitHub CLI (`gh`) installation/authentication guidance and an operator-only GitHub issue inventory workflow. The agent does not ingest GitHub issue, milestone, body, comment, title, label, or summary text; requirements analysis must use repository-owned planning artifacts, with issue numbers only for traceability. This should trigger for requests such as GitHub issue inventory workflow; GitHub CLI setup for issues; Prepare issue traceability lists; Analyze repository planning artifacts linked to GitHub issues.

Quality

Content

78%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.

A well-organized, mostly lean instruction-only skill with a clear sequenced workflow, concrete commands, and an appropriate single reference. The main weakness is repetitive restatement of the no-ingestion constraint, which slightly harms conciseness.

Suggestions

State the no-ingestion constraint once in the Constraints section and reference it from the workflow steps instead of restating it in the intro, 'What is covered', and steps 3–4, to reduce token redundancy.

Add an explicit error-recovery/feedback step (e.g., what to do when 'gh auth status' reports not authenticated) to lift workflow clarity from a checkpoint-only sequence to a full validate-and-retry loop.

Tighten the 'What is covered' and 'When to use' lists, which overlap the frontmatter description, to avoid duplicating trigger phrasing already present in the description.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

The body is lean with no concept over-explanation Claude would already know, but the no-ingestion constraint is restated across the intro, 'What is covered', Constraints, and Workflow steps 3–4 — minor tightening possible, so it sits above the midpoint rather than at the lean 5.

4 / 5

Actionability

Concrete, executable guidance is present — 'gh --version', 'gh auth status', 'gh auth login', '--repo', and the '@014-agile-user-story' chain — with only minor gaps, fitting 'mostly executable guidance' rather than fully copy-paste-ready.

4 / 5

Workflow Clarity

A clearly sequenced 5-step workflow with an explicit interactive-gate checkpoint ('stop, ask, wait'); it lacks an explicit error-recovery feedback loop, so it lands at 4 rather than the 5 anchor.

4 / 5

Progressive Disclosure

The body is a concise overview with a single well-signaled one-level-deep reference to references/043-planning-github-issues.md (verified to exist), matching the 'clear overview with well-signaled one-level-deep references' anchor.

Description

87%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 strong, well-structured description that explicitly covers both capability and trigger conditions with concrete phrases. Minor room to broaden natural-keyword synonyms and tighten coverage, but it clearly meets the top anchor on completeness and distinctiveness.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Names several concrete capabilities — 'GitHub CLI installation/authentication guidance', 'operator-only GitHub issue inventory workflow', 'issue numbers only for traceability' — with only minor coverage gaps, fitting the 'lists several specific actions' anchor rather than the comprehensive 5.

4 / 5

Completeness

It opens with 'Use when you need...' (the what) and adds 'This should trigger for requests such as...' with concrete trigger phrases (the when), explicitly answering both as the 5 anchor requires.

5 / 5

Trigger Term Quality

Explicit trigger phrases like 'GitHub issue inventory workflow', 'GitHub CLI setup for issues', and 'Prepare issue traceability lists' give good natural-keyword coverage, though a few common variations a user might actually say are missing.

4 / 5

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

The niche is tightly scoped to operator-only GitHub issue inventory plus planning-artifact handoff, with distinct triggers and minimal realistic overlap with other skills.
