instantly-prod-checklist
Execute Instantly.ai production launch checklist and pre-flight validation. Use when deploying Instantly integrations to production, launching first campaign, or auditing production readiness. Trigger with phrases like "instantly production", "instantly launch checklist", "instantly go-live", "instantly pre-flight", "instantly prod ready".

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 well-structured description with strong completeness and distinctiveness. It clearly identifies when to use the skill and provides explicit trigger phrases. The main weakness is that the specific capabilities (what the checklist actually covers, what validation steps are performed) could be more concrete rather than relying on abstract terms like 'checklist' and 'validation'.
Suggestions
Add specific concrete actions the checklist covers, e.g., 'Validates DNS/DKIM settings, checks warmup status, verifies sending limits, reviews campaign sequences' to improve specificity.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Specificity | Names the domain (Instantly.ai production launch) and some actions ('launch checklist', 'pre-flight validation'), but doesn't list specific concrete actions like what the checklist covers or what validation steps are performed. 'Execute checklist' and 'validation' are somewhat abstract. | 2 / 3 |
Completeness | Clearly answers both 'what' (execute production launch checklist and pre-flight validation for Instantly.ai) and 'when' (deploying to production, launching first campaign, auditing production readiness) with explicit trigger phrases listed. | 3 / 3 |
Trigger Term Quality | Includes explicit trigger phrases that users would naturally say: 'instantly production', 'instantly launch checklist', 'instantly go-live', 'instantly pre-flight', 'instantly prod ready'. Good coverage of natural variations for this specific use case. | 3 / 3 |
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk | Very specific niche targeting Instantly.ai production launches specifically. The combination of 'Instantly.ai' + 'production launch' + 'pre-flight' creates a distinct trigger profile unlikely to conflict with other skills. | 3 / 3 |

Implementation
77%Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.
This is a well-structured production checklist with strong actionability and clear workflow sequencing including validation gates between phases. The main weakness is that the extensive inline code makes it quite long for a SKILL.md — the phases could benefit from being referenced as separate files. The content is practical and domain-specific, avoiding unnecessary explanations.
Suggestions
Consider moving the detailed TypeScript code for each phase into separate referenced files (e.g., phase1-account-health.ts) and keeping only summaries with key checks in the main SKILL.md to improve conciseness and progressive disclosure.
The manual checklist items in Phase 3 and Phase 5 (e.g., '[ ] Leads verified with email verification service') could be more actionable by providing code to validate these conditions where possible.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The skill is fairly long with extensive TypeScript code blocks that could be more concise. Some inline checklist items (manual checkboxes like '[ ] Leads verified with email verification service') add bulk without being executable. However, it avoids explaining basic concepts and stays focused on the task. | 2 / 3 |
Actionability | The skill provides fully executable TypeScript code for each phase with specific API endpoints, concrete validation logic, and clear pass/fail criteria. The error handling table maps specific errors to solutions. Code is copy-paste ready with real API calls. | 3 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | The 5-phase workflow is clearly sequenced with explicit validation checkpoints — Phase 1 returns false to block proceeding if accounts are broken, Phase 2 checks gate the launch in Phase 5, and the main() function enforces the sequence. Feedback loops are present (fix and re-check pattern). | 3 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | The content is mostly monolithic — all five phases with full code are inline in a single file. The phases could be split into separate reference files with just summaries in the main SKILL.md. There is a reference to 'instantly-install-auth' and 'instantly-upgrade-migration' but the bulk of content is inline. | 2 / 3 |
