exa-multi-env-setup

Configure Exa across development, staging, and production environments. Use when setting up multi-environment search pipelines, managing API key isolation, or configuring per-environment search limits and caching. Trigger with phrases like "exa environments", "exa staging", "exa dev prod", "exa environment setup", "exa multi-env".

Quality

Content

92%

Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.

The body is highly actionable and concise with a clearly sequenced, verified workflow, but it is monolithic — everything is inline in SKILL.md with no reference-file split, which caps progressive disclosure at 2 for a skill of this length.

Suggestions

Move the larger code modules (e.g. the Redis cache layer and the CI/CD workflow) into files under references/ and link to them from SKILL.md so the overview stays lean and detail is one level deep.

Add an explicit validation checkpoint between configuration and promotion (e.g. 'run checkExaHealth() and require status: healthy before advancing dev → staging → production') to convert the end-of-flow check into a real feedback loop.

Consider extracting the Error Handling table and per-environment defaults into a reference doc, keeping SKILL.md as an overview that signals where each detail lives.

Dimension	Reasoning	Score
Conciseness	The body is lean — minimal prose, no explaining of basic concepts Claude already knows, and terse code comments ('// 5 minutes', '// 1 hour'); the only contextual line (Exa charges per request) motivates the cost-control design rather than padding.	3 / 3
Actionability	Fully executable TypeScript (config/exa.ts, lib/exa-search.ts, lib/exa-cache.ts), concrete env-var examples, a CI/CD YAML, and a health-check function with specific file paths and commands — copy-paste ready, not pseudocode.	3 / 3
Workflow Clarity	Steps are explicitly sequenced (Step 1–6), culminating in a checkExaHealth() verification step, with an Error Handling table providing recovery guidance; this is config setup rather than destructive XML/db work requiring a strict validate-fix-retry loop.	3 / 3
Progressive Disclosure	Sections are well-organized with clear headers, but at ~220 lines all six code modules live inline in a single file with no one-level-deep reference links; the under-50-line simple-skill exception does not apply, and the only cross-link is to a sibling skill rather than bundle references.	2 / 3

Description

100%

Based on the skill's description, can an agent find and select it at the right time? Clear, specific descriptions lead to better discovery.

The description is well-crafted: third-person voice, concrete multi-action capability statement, an explicit 'Use when' trigger clause, and natural trigger phrases scoped to a distinct niche. It satisfies every dimension at the top anchor without padding.

Dimension	Reasoning	Score
Specificity	Lists multiple concrete actions — 'Configure Exa across development, staging, and production environments', 'setting up multi-environment search pipelines', 'managing API key isolation', 'configuring per-environment search limits and caching' — matching the multi-action anchor rather than the single-domain level 2.	3 / 3
Completeness	Explicitly answers both 'what' (Configure Exa across envs, key isolation, limits, caching) and 'when' with an explicit 'Use when setting up...' clause plus trigger phrases, so it is not capped at 2.	3 / 3
Trigger Term Quality	Provides natural phrases a user would say — 'exa environments', 'exa staging', 'exa dev prod', 'exa environment setup', 'exa multi-env' — giving good coverage of natural terms rather than jargon-only or generic keywords.	3 / 3
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk	Targets a clear niche (Exa multi-environment setup) with Exa-specific triggers, making it unlikely to fire for unrelated skills despite the sibling exa-deploy-integration skill.	3 / 3
