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 'Use when' guidance, and includes natural trigger phrases. The main weakness is that the 'what' portion could be slightly more specific about the concrete actions performed (e.g., generating a .coderabbit.yaml file, opening a PR to trigger review). Minor note: 'trigger your first AI review' uses second person, which slightly deviates from the preferred third-person voice.
Suggestions
Rephrase to third person voice: 'Creates a minimal working CodeRabbit configuration and triggers a first AI review' instead of 'Create... trigger your first...'
Add more specific concrete actions, e.g., 'Generates a .coderabbit.yaml file, configures review settings, and opens a test PR to trigger the first AI code review.'
| 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 provided. | 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 'testing your setup'. These are terms a user would naturally say when getting started with CodeRabbit. | 3 / 3 |
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk | Very specific niche—CodeRabbit quick-start configuration with distinct trigger terms like 'coderabbit hello world' and '.coderabbit.yaml'. 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.
This is a solid quickstart skill with highly actionable, copy-paste-ready commands and configurations. Its main weakness is redundancy — the YAML configuration appears three times with minor variations, inflating token cost. Adding a YAML validation step before committing would strengthen the workflow, especially since YAML errors are called out in the error handling table.
Suggestions
Consolidate the three YAML config repetitions: show the minimal config once in Step 1, show only the path_instructions addition as a diff/snippet in Step 2, and reference the config by name in Step 3's bash script rather than inlining it again.
Add an explicit YAML validation step before git commit (e.g., `python -c "import yaml; yaml.safe_load(open('.coderabbit.yaml'))"` or a yamllint check) to match the error handling table's mention of YAML syntax errors.
Remove or significantly trim the 'What CodeRabbit Posts on Your PR' section — Claude can infer this from context, and it's not actionable guidance.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The skill is mostly efficient but includes some redundancy — Step 2 repeats most of Step 1's YAML with additions rather than showing only the diff, 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. Some tightening would help. | 2 / 3 |
Actionability | Provides fully executable YAML configs, bash commands with proper error handling (set -euo pipefail), gh CLI usage, and specific PR comment commands. Everything is copy-paste ready with concrete examples. | 3 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | Steps are clearly sequenced and logically ordered, but there's no validation checkpoint after creating the YAML (e.g., validating YAML syntax before committing) despite the error handling table mentioning YAML syntax errors as a common issue. The feedback loop for verifying the review actually appeared is implicit rather than explicit. | 2 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | The skill references external resources and next steps appropriately, but the content is somewhat monolithic — the three repetitions of the YAML config could be structured better, and the path instructions example (Step 2) could be a separate reference. No bundle files exist to offload advanced content to. | 2 / 3 |
