project-session-management
Track progress across sessions using SESSION.md with git checkpoints and concrete next actions. Converts IMPLEMENTATION_PHASES.md into trackable session state. Use when: resuming work after context clears, managing multi-phase implementations, or troubleshooting lost context.

Validation for skill structure
Discovery
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.
This is a well-crafted skill description that excels across all dimensions. It uses third person voice, provides specific concrete actions, includes an explicit 'Use when:' clause with natural trigger terms, and has a clear distinctive niche around session tracking and context management.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Specificity | Lists multiple concrete actions: 'Track progress', 'git checkpoints', 'concrete next actions', 'Converts IMPLEMENTATION_PHASES.md into trackable session state'. These are specific, actionable capabilities. | 3 / 3 |
Completeness | Clearly answers both what ('Track progress using SESSION.md with git checkpoints and concrete next actions') and when (explicit 'Use when:' clause covering resuming work, multi-phase implementations, and troubleshooting lost context). | 3 / 3 |
Trigger Term Quality | Includes natural terms users would say: 'resuming work', 'context clears', 'multi-phase implementations', 'lost context', 'SESSION.md', 'IMPLEMENTATION_PHASES.md'. Good coverage of session management vocabulary. | 3 / 3 |
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk | Highly distinctive with specific file references (SESSION.md, IMPLEMENTATION_PHASES.md) and clear niche around session continuity and context management. Unlikely to conflict with other skills. | 3 / 3 |
Total | 12 / 12 Passed |
Implementation
85%Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.
This is a strong skill with excellent actionability and workflow clarity. The SESSION.md template is comprehensive and copy-paste ready, and the phase/session distinction is well-explained with concrete examples. Minor verbosity in some sections (expected uncommitted files, repeated workflow explanations) prevents a perfect conciseness score.
Suggestions
Consolidate the 'Workflow' and 'Automation Commands' sections to reduce redundancy - the manual/automated distinction is repeated
Trim the 'Expected Uncommitted Files' section - the detailed explanation of why SESSION.md is uncommitted could be reduced to 2-3 lines
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The skill is reasonably efficient but includes some redundancy (workflow section repeats automation commands, expected uncommitted files section is verbose). Some sections like 'Phases vs Sessions' explanation could be tighter. | 2 / 3 |
Actionability | Provides concrete templates, specific commit message formats, exact file paths, and copy-paste ready SESSION.md structure. Commands like `/wrap-session` and `/continue-session` are clearly defined with specific behaviors. | 3 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | Clear multi-step workflows for starting, ending, and resuming sessions. Explicit validation through verification stages, checkpoint cycles, and the Implementation → Verification → Debugging flow with concrete examples of each stage. | 3 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | Well-structured with clear sections, references to bundled resources (templates, scripts, references) at the end, and appropriate use of collapsible information. Planning docs vs SESSION.md separation is clearly explained. | 3 / 3 |
Total | 11 / 12 Passed |
