update-nanoclaw

Transactionally update a customized NanoClaw checkout from official upstream without exposing live mounted source, with fork-safe skill refresh, mutable-state snapshots, migration gates, exact-code upgrade markers, detected service restart, health verification, and automatic local rollback. Use for routine merge, rebase, or selective upstream updates.

Quality

Content

88%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 high-quality transactional workflow: executable, well-sequenced, and rich with validation and rollback feedback loops appropriate to a destructive update operation. The main slack is a few justifiable-but-optional explanatory asides that cost tokens.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

Mostly lean — dense bash commands and tight safety-contract bullets with little concept padding — but a few explanatory asides ('This is the self-update seam...', 'Do not depend on Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode...') could be trimmed.

4 / 5

Actionability

Fully executable copy-paste bash throughout, with concrete subcommands (prepare/resume/validate/cutover/ack/finish/cleanup/rollback/prune) and explicit variable wiring covering the common cases.

5 / 5

Workflow Clarity

A clearly numbered 1–7 sequence with explicit validation checkpoints ('Stop if it prints anything', the validate step, 'Only phase: complete is success') and feedback loops for error recovery (rollback on build/health failure, fix-and-revalidate inside stageRoot).

5 / 5

Progressive Disclosure

Well-organized into a safety contract plus seven headed sections with clearly signaled, one-level-deep references (e.g. docs/onecli-upgrades.md); no monolithic wall of text, though the single-file body is long for a complex transactional workflow.

Description

92%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 states both capability and trigger conditions for a distinct niche. The only weakness is a feature-heavy middle clause packed with internal jargon that slightly dilutes natural trigger phrasing.

Suggestions

Trim the jargon-laden feature list ('fork-safe skill refresh, mutable-state snapshots, migration gates, exact-code upgrade markers') in favor of one or two user-facing outcomes so the description reads more naturally.

Add common synonyms a user might say (e.g. 'sync', 'pull upstream', 'update my fork') to broaden natural trigger coverage.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Lists multiple concrete actions — 'Transactionally update a customized NanoClaw checkout from official upstream', 'fork-safe skill refresh', 'mutable-state snapshots', 'migration gates', 'detected service restart', 'health verification', 'automatic local rollback' — with comprehensive coverage.

5 / 5

Completeness

Explicitly answers both 'what' (transactional upstream update with the listed safety features) and 'when' ('Use for routine merge, rebase, or selective upstream updates') with a concrete trigger phrase.

5 / 5

Trigger Term Quality

The trigger clause 'Use for routine merge, rebase, or selective upstream updates' supplies natural user terms, but the feature-list body leans on jargon ('fork-safe skill refresh', 'exact-code upgrade markers') that users would rarely say verbatim.

4 / 5

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

Targets a narrow, named niche — updating a customized NanoClaw checkout from upstream — with distinct triggers and minimal overlap risk with other skills.
