coderabbit-hello-world
Create a minimal working CodeRabbit configuration and trigger your first AI review. Use when starting with CodeRabbit, testing your setup, or learning basic .coderabbit.yaml patterns. Trigger with phrases like "coderabbit hello world", "coderabbit example", "coderabbit quick start", "first coderabbit review".

Discovery
89%Based on the skill's description, can an agent find and select it at the right time? Clear, specific descriptions lead to better discovery.
This is a solid description that clearly identifies its niche (CodeRabbit quick start), provides explicit 'when' guidance with natural trigger phrases, and is unlikely to conflict with other skills. The main weakness is that the 'what' could be slightly more specific about the concrete actions performed (e.g., what the configuration includes, what files are created). Note: the description uses second person ('your') in places, which is a minor voice issue but doesn't significantly harm clarity.
Suggestions
Add more specific concrete actions, e.g., 'Creates a .coderabbit.yaml file with review settings, opens a test PR, and triggers an initial AI code review' to improve specificity.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Specificity | It names the domain (CodeRabbit configuration) and a couple of actions ('create a minimal working configuration', 'trigger your first AI review'), but doesn't list multiple concrete actions comprehensively—e.g., it doesn't specify what the configuration contains or what patterns are covered. | 2 / 3 |
Completeness | Clearly answers both 'what' (create a minimal CodeRabbit config and trigger a first AI review) and 'when' (starting with CodeRabbit, testing setup, learning basic patterns) with explicit trigger phrases. | 3 / 3 |
Trigger Term Quality | Includes natural trigger phrases like 'coderabbit hello world', 'coderabbit example', 'coderabbit quick start', 'first coderabbit review', plus mentions '.coderabbit.yaml' and 'setup'. These are terms a user would naturally say when starting with CodeRabbit. | 3 / 3 |
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk | CodeRabbit is a very specific tool, and the description targets a clear niche (getting started / hello world). The trigger terms are highly distinctive and unlikely to conflict with other skills. | 3 / 3 |

Implementation
64%Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.
A solid getting-started skill with excellent actionability — all code and commands are executable and concrete. The main weakness is the triple repetition of the YAML configuration across Steps 1-3, which wastes tokens and could confuse Claude about which version to use. Adding a YAML validation checkpoint before committing would strengthen the workflow.
Suggestions
Consolidate the three YAML config repetitions into a single definitive config in Step 1, with Step 2 showing only the path_instructions addition as a diff or snippet rather than the full file again.
Add a YAML validation step before committing (e.g., 'python -c "import yaml; yaml.safe_load(open('.coderabbit.yaml'))"') to create a proper feedback loop.
Remove or significantly trim the 'What CodeRabbit Posts on Your PR' section — Claude doesn't need to know what the bot will post to create the configuration.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The skill is mostly efficient but includes some redundancy — Step 2 repeats most of Step 1's YAML with minor additions, and Step 3 repeats the config a third time in the bash script. The 'What CodeRabbit Posts on Your PR' section explains things Claude could infer. The overview explains what CodeRabbit is, which is somewhat unnecessary given the skill's context. | 2 / 3 |
Actionability | Provides fully executable YAML configurations, bash commands with proper error handling (set -euo pipefail), gh CLI usage for PR creation, and concrete @coderabbitai commands. Everything is copy-paste ready with specific examples. | 3 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | Steps are clearly sequenced from configuration through PR creation to interaction. However, there's no validation checkpoint after creating the YAML (e.g., validating the YAML before committing), and no explicit feedback loop for verifying the review actually appeared before proceeding to Step 4. The error handling table partially compensates but is reactive rather than proactive. | 2 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | The skill references external resources (docs links) and other skills (coderabbit-install-auth, coderabbit-local-dev-loop), which is good. However, with no bundle files, the content is somewhat monolithic — the three repetitions of the YAML config could have been structured as a single base config with incremental additions, or the path instructions and CLI sections could be in separate referenced files. | 2 / 3 |
