agent-academy-stargazers

Look up who has starred the microsoft/agent-academy repository on GitHub. Use this skill whenever the user wants to check stargazers, see if a specific GitHub user has starred the repo, or retrieve an up-to-date list of stargazers. Trigger whenever the user says "who starred agent academy", "check stargazers", "has <user> starred the repo", or asks anything about the repository's stargazer list. This skill uses the GitHub CLI to fetch stargazers via the GitHub API and saves the results to a local JSON file. It will install prerequisites if needed.

Quality

Content

85%

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

A well-structured, actionable skill body with clear sequencing and validation checkpoints. Its main weakness is redundancy between the Prerequisites and Rules sections, which inflates token count without adding new information.

Suggestions

Remove the Rules entries that restate Prerequisites (gh install/auth steps) and the --paginate/--jq details already covered in Skill Flow, keeping Rules only for the genuinely additional constraints (fresh data, no partial writes).

Consolidate the pagination/jq filter detail so it appears once — either in Skill Flow or Rules — rather than in both sections.

Dimension	Reasoning	Score
Conciseness	The body is mostly efficient and assumes Claude's competence, but the Rules section repeats the Prerequisites and pagination guidance verbatim (e.g., installing/authenticating gh, --paginate, --jq field selection), adding tokens that restate earlier steps.	2 / 3
Actionability	Provides concrete, executable guidance — specific gh api commands with --paginate, --jq filters, a concrete output path temp/stargazers.json, and exact diagnostic commands (gh --version, gh auth status). It is copy-paste ready rather than pseudocode.	3 / 3
Workflow Clarity	The Skill Flow is a clear numbered sequence with explicit validation checkpoints ('Do not proceed until both checks pass', gh auth status verification) and an error-handling rule for API failures, giving a feedback loop for the risky API write step.	3 / 3
Progressive Disclosure	A short single-purpose skill with no bundle files; content is well-organized into Prerequisites, Skill Flow, and Rules sections. Per the simple-skills note, this clear organization with no nested references earns a top score.	3 / 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.

A strong description: specific, in third person, with explicit 'Use when/Trigger whenever' clauses and natural trigger phrases. It clearly conveys both what the skill does and when to use it, with minimal risk of conflicting with other skills.

Dimension	Reasoning	Score
Specificity	Lists multiple concrete actions — 'Look up who has starred', 'check if a specific GitHub user has starred the repo', 'retrieve an up-to-date list', 'fetch stargazers via the GitHub API and saves the results to a local JSON file', plus 'install prerequisites if needed'. These are specific, actionable capabilities rather than vague language.	3 / 3
Completeness	It explicitly answers both 'what' (fetches/saves stargazers, checks a specific user) and 'when' via the explicit 'Use this skill whenever...' / 'Trigger whenever...' clauses with concrete triggers, satisfying the what+when requirement.	3 / 3
Trigger Term Quality	Includes natural phrases a user would actually say — 'who starred agent academy', 'check stargazers', 'has <user> starred the repo' — giving good coverage of common variations; it is not just technical jargon.	3 / 3
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk	It targets a very specific niche — stargazers of the microsoft/agent-academy repo via the gh CLI — with distinct triggers, making it unlikely to fire for unrelated GitHub skills.	3 / 3
