cursor-local-dev-loop
tessl i github:jeremylongshore/claude-code-plugins-plus-skills --skill cursor-local-dev-loopOptimize local development workflow with Cursor. Triggers on "cursor workflow", "cursor development loop", "cursor productivity", "cursor daily workflow". Use when working with cursor local dev loop functionality. Trigger with phrases like "cursor local dev loop", "cursor loop", "cursor".

Implementation
35%This skill provides a skeletal framework for Cursor workflow but lacks the concrete, actionable guidance needed to be useful. The instructions read like a feature list rather than a workflow guide, with no specific examples, keyboard shortcuts in context, or real development scenarios. The content defers too much to external references while not providing enough standalone value.
Suggestions
Add concrete examples showing actual workflow patterns - e.g., 'To refactor a function: select code, Cmd+K, type "extract to separate function with error handling"'
Include specific keyboard shortcuts with context: show what each shortcut does with a mini-example rather than just listing feature names
Add a validation/feedback section: what does a successful iteration look like? How do you know when to commit vs continue iterating?
Provide at least one complete worked example inline showing the full loop from planning to commit
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | Mostly efficient but includes some unnecessary sections like 'Prerequisites' listing things Claude would know to check, and 'Output' section that describes expected outcomes rather than actionable guidance. | 2 / 3 |
Actionability | Instructions are vague and abstract - 'Use Chat for planning' and 'Use Tab completion for implementation' provide no concrete examples, specific commands, or executable guidance. No actual workflow patterns or code examples are shown. | 1 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | Steps are listed in sequence but lack validation checkpoints, feedback loops, or specific guidance on what to do when things go wrong. The workflow is superficial - just a list of features to use without explaining how they connect. | 2 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | References to external files (errors.md, examples.md) are present but the main content is too thin - it defers critical content (examples, error handling) to other files while the SKILL.md itself lacks substance to stand alone as a useful overview. | 2 / 3 |

Activation
32%This description suffers from vague capability statements and overly generic trigger terms. While it attempts to provide trigger guidance, the actual functionality remains unclear, and the single-word trigger 'cursor' creates high conflict risk with other Cursor-related skills.
Suggestions
Replace vague 'optimize workflow' with specific concrete actions (e.g., 'Configure Cursor settings, manage AI prompts, set up keyboard shortcuts, organize workspace layouts').
Remove the overly generic 'cursor' trigger and replace with more specific phrases that distinguish this skill from other Cursor-related skills.
Clarify what 'cursor local dev loop' actually means - describe the specific workflow patterns or tasks this skill helps with.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Specificity | The description uses vague language like 'optimize local development workflow' without listing any concrete actions. It doesn't specify what actions the skill actually performs (e.g., configure settings, manage extensions, set up keybindings). | 1 / 3 |
Completeness | Has a weak 'what' (optimize workflow) and includes a 'Use when' clause, but the 'what' is too vague to be meaningful. The 'when' guidance is present but circular ('use when working with cursor local dev loop functionality'). | 2 / 3 |
Trigger Term Quality | Includes some relevant keywords like 'cursor workflow', 'cursor development loop', 'cursor productivity', but the trigger 'cursor' alone is overly generic and could conflict with many unrelated requests. Missing natural variations users might say. | 2 / 3 |
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk | The trigger term 'cursor' is extremely generic and would conflict with any Cursor-related skill. 'Optimize local development workflow' is also broad enough to overlap with many development productivity skills. | 1 / 3 |
