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".

Quality
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 trigger phrases, and answers both what and when. The main weakness is that the specificity of concrete actions could be slightly more detailed—listing what the configuration includes or what steps are performed would strengthen it. However, the second-person voice in 'trigger your first AI review' is a minor issue per the rubric guidelines.
Suggestions
Rephrase to third person voice throughout, e.g., '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 with review settings, configures PR triggers, and runs an initial AI code review on a sample pull request.'
| 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
72%Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.
A solid hello-world skill with excellent actionability — all code blocks are executable and copy-paste ready. The main weakness is redundancy: the YAML configuration appears three times with minor variations, which wastes tokens. Adding a YAML validation checkpoint before committing would improve workflow clarity for a configuration-driven skill where syntax errors are a common failure mode.
Suggestions
Show the YAML config once in its fullest form (with path_instructions) and reference it in the bash script rather than repeating it three times with slight variations.
Add an explicit YAML validation step before committing (e.g., `python -c "import yaml; yaml.safe_load(open('.coderabbit.yaml'))"` or a similar quick check) to catch syntax errors early.
Remove or significantly trim the 'What CodeRabbit Posts on Your PR' section — Claude doesn't need to be told what a third-party service will display; the error handling table already covers failure cases.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The content 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' section explains things Claude could infer. Could be tightened by showing the config once and using diffs or incremental additions. | 2 / 3 |
Actionability | Provides fully executable YAML configurations, bash commands with proper error handling (set -euo pipefail), gh CLI usage for PR creation, and specific @coderabbitai commands. Everything is copy-paste ready. | 3 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | Steps are clearly sequenced and logically ordered, but there are no explicit validation checkpoints. After creating the YAML config there's no validation step (e.g., checking YAML syntax before committing), and after pushing the PR there's no explicit check that the review appeared. The error handling table partially compensates but is reactive rather than proactive. | 2 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | Content is well-structured with clear sections progressing from minimal config to advanced usage. External references are one level deep and clearly signaled (YAML Configuration Guide, Review Commands Reference, CLI docs). The 'Next Steps' section provides clear navigation to the next skill. | 3 / 3 |
