joelclaw-web

Update and maintain joelclaw.com — the Next.js web app at apps/web/. Use when writing blog posts, editing pages, updating the network page, changing layout/header/footer, adding components, or fixing anything on the site. Hard content triggers: 'write article about X' (draft in Convex), 'publish article <slug>' (set draft=false + revalidate tags/paths). Also triggers on: 'update the site', 'write a post', 'fix the blog', 'joelclaw.com', 'update network page', 'add a page', 'change the header', or any task involving the public-facing web app.

Quality

Content

75%Weight 40%Scale 1-5

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

The content is a dense, well-structured operations manual with concrete paths, exact tags/paths, and clear numbered workflows including verification steps. It is strong on actionability and workflow clarity, with only minor conciseness and progressive-disclosure improvements available around repeated revalidation lists and missing Convex code examples.

Suggestions

Consolidate the revalidation tag/path set (currently repeated in 'publish article', 'Adding a New Post', and the publish step) into one canonical block or a referenced file to reduce length and drift risk.

Add one copy-paste Convex upsert snippet (e.g., contentResources.upsert with resourceId, type, fields.draft) so the 'write article' workflow is fully executable rather than described.

Move the full MDX frontmatter field reference into a separate file (e.g., references/frontmatter.md) and keep only the essential field notes inline, improving progressive disclosure and conciseness.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

The body is largely lean and assumes Claude's competence (e.g., exact YAML field shapes, regex one-liners, file/purpose tables) with little padding, though sections like the full frontmatter example and repeated revalidation tag/path lists across three sections add some length that could be tightened via a shared reference.

4 / 5

Actionability

Guidance is mostly executable: specific file paths, exact revalidate tags/paths, a copy-ready MDX frontmatter block, and a concrete regex. Minor gaps are the absent Convex upsert code sample and the un-illustrated <YouTube id="..." /> usage, which keep it just below fully copy-paste ready.

4 / 5

Workflow Clarity

The hard-trigger workflows ('write article', 'publish article', 'Adding a New Post') are clearly numbered with a final verification step (check homepage/slug/markdown twin/feed consistency), providing good checkpoints; the only gap is no explicit validate-then-retry loop after the revalidate POST, so it sits just below the 5 anchor.

4 / 5

Progressive Disclosure

The body is well-organized into clear headed sections (OPSEC, Content Model, Hard Trigger Workflow, Design System, Key Files, Network Page) and points to real bundle scripts (scripts/seed-articles.ts, scripts/seed-adrs-discoveries.ts) one level deep; it is slightly below 5 because some referenceable detail (the revalidation tag/path set, the full MDX frontmatter) is inlined and repeated rather than split out.

Description

100%Weight 40%Scale 1-5

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 comprehensive, concrete, and tightly scoped to the joelclaw.com web app, with explicit 'what' and 'when' guidance plus numerous natural trigger phrases. It is one of the stronger skill descriptions, clearly matching the top anchors across all dimensions.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

The description lists multiple concrete actions (writing blog posts, editing pages, updating the network page, changing layout/header/footer, adding components, fixing the site) plus two explicit hard-trigger workflows (drafting in Convex, publishing with revalidation), giving comprehensive coverage of what the skill does.

5 / 5

Completeness

It explicitly answers both 'what' (maintain the Next.js web app, with the concrete actions listed) and 'when' via an explicit 'Use when...' clause and a second 'Also triggers on:' clause with concrete trigger phrases, matching the 5 anchor.

5 / 5

Trigger Term Quality

It enumerates natural phrases a user would say ('write article about X', 'publish article <slug>', 'update the site', 'write a post', 'fix the blog', 'joelclaw.com', 'update network page', 'add a page', 'change the header') plus the product/domain keyword 'joelclaw.com', covering synonyms and variations comprehensively.

5 / 5

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

The skill is anchored to a specific app path (apps/web/) and domain (joelclaw.com) with product-specific triggers, giving it a clear niche with minimal conflict risk against generic skills.
