trellis-start

Initializes an AI development session by reading workflow guides, developer identity, git status, active tasks, and project guidelines from .trellis/. Classifies incoming tasks and routes to brainstorm, direct edit, or task workflow. Use when beginning a new coding session, resuming work, starting a new task, or re-establishing project context.

Quality

Content

82%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.

A well-structured, actionable session-start workflow with concrete commands and clear routing. Slight gains available by trimming explanatory prose and adding explicit validation/error-handling checkpoints.

Suggestions

Trim justifying prose like the 'no session-start hook' sentence to keep the body fully token-lean.

Add an explicit validation/checkpoint for Step 1 output (e.g., what to do if get_context.py fails or returns empty) to strengthen workflow clarity.

Clarify the boundary between 'read on demand' references and required inline steps so navigation is unambiguous.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

Largely lean with executable commands and minimal padding, though a few explanatory lines ('This platform has no session-start hook...', 'Index files list the specific guideline docs...') could be trimmed.

4 / 5

Actionability

Provides copy-paste-ready bash commands for each step plus a concrete intent-to-skill routing table, fully executable across common cases.

5 / 5

Workflow Clarity

A clear four-step sequence with an explicit decision tree in Step 4 and a context-output check, but lacks explicit error-recovery feedback loops; acceptable since this is non-destructive context loading.

4 / 5

Progressive Disclosure

Well-organized sections with one-level-deep references clearly signaled ('Full guide in .trellis/workflow.md (read on demand)', skill routing table), with only minor organization gaps.

Description

88%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.

A strong, specific description that clearly conveys both capabilities and trigger conditions in third person. Minor room to expand trigger synonyms and tighten distinctiveness against generic session-start skills.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Lists multiple concrete actions — reading workflow guides, developer identity, git status, active tasks, project guidelines from .trellis/, classifying tasks, and routing to brainstorm/direct edit/task workflow — giving comprehensive coverage.

5 / 5

Completeness

Explicitly states what it does (initializes a session by reading specific .trellis/ artifacts and routing tasks) and when to use it, with concrete trigger phrases in a 'Use when...' clause.

5 / 5

Trigger Term Quality

Natural trigger phrases like 'beginning a new coding session', 'resuming work', 'starting a new task', and 're-establishing project context' are present, but coverage lacks synonyms/file extensions for a 5.

4 / 5

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

The .trellis/-specific niche and Trellis routing make it mostly distinct, though generic session-start triggers ('new coding session', 'resuming work') carry minor overlap risk with general session skills.
