packages-worker-setup

Get packages_worker running locally — first time or resuming after a break. Spins up packages-db if not running, applies any pending migrations, and starts the worker. All steps are safe to re-run. Use when: "set up packages worker", "start packages worker", "resume packages worker", "get packages-db running", "packages-db stopped", "restart the worker".

Quality

Content

90%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 body is a concise, fully executable runbook with a clearly sequenced workflow and a useful troubleshooting table. Its only gap is a missing inline post-start verification step for the worker, which keeps workflow clarity at 4.

Suggestions

Add an explicit verification checkpoint after Step 3 (e.g., run `./scripts/cli service packages-worker status` and confirm it reports running before declaring success) to lift workflow clarity to 5.

Optionally fold the day-to-day `status` check into the main flow as the post-start validation step so the sequence is self-validating.

If the troubleshooting table grows, consider splitting it into a separate TROUBLESHOOTING.md referenced one level deep to keep SKILL.md a lean overview.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

A lean runbook of code blocks with brief, load-bearing prose ("No-op if already running", the hot-reload path note) and no explanation of docker/git/flyway basics, matching the lean-and-efficient anchor at 5.

5 / 5

Actionability

Fully executable, copy-paste-ready commands with platform handling (arm64/amd64), day-to-day subcommands, and a troubleshooting table — covering the common cases per the anchor 5 example.

5 / 5

Workflow Clarity

Clear Prereq→Step1→Step2→Step3 sequence with an explicit readiness checkpoint (pg_isready wait loop) and an error-recovery table, but no inline verification after starting the worker in Step 3, matching anchor 4 rather than 5.

4 / 5

Progressive Disclosure

Well-organized self-contained runbook with one-level "Going further" pointers to related skills; slightly over 50 lines with no file references needed, so it sits at anchor 4 rather than the file-reference-emphasis anchor 5.

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 exemplary: third-person voice, concrete actions, explicit trigger phrases, and a clearly scoped niche around named internal services. It answers both what and when with no padding.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

"Spins up packages-db if not running, applies any pending migrations, and starts the worker" lists three concrete actions covering the skill's full scope, matching the comprehensive-coverage anchor rather than the minor-gaps anchor at 4.

5 / 5

Completeness

Explicitly answers what (the three setup actions) and when (a "Use when:" clause with concrete trigger phrases), matching the anchor 5 example.

5 / 5

Trigger Term Quality

Six natural trigger phrases ("set up packages worker", "resume packages worker", "packages-db stopped", etc.) with synonym coverage match the comprehensive-natural-terms anchor at 5.

5 / 5

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

Named internal services (packages_worker, packages-db) with distinct, service-specific triggers give a clear niche with minimal conflict risk.
