clawdirect-dev
Build agent-facing web experiences with ATXP-based authentication, following the ClawDirect pattern. Use this skill when building websites that AI agents interact with via MCP tools, implementing cookie-based agent auth, or creating agent skills for web apps. Provides templates using @longrun/turtle, Express, SQLite, and ATXP.

Discovery
85%Based on the skill's description, can an agent find and select it at the right time? Clear, specific descriptions lead to better discovery.
This is a well-structured description that clearly defines both capabilities and usage triggers. The main weakness is reliance on specialized terminology (ATXP, ClawDirect, @longrun/turtle) that may not match natural user queries, though this specificity also makes it highly distinctive within its niche.
Suggestions
Add more natural trigger terms users might say, such as 'agent authentication', 'AI web interface', 'automated browser auth', or 'headless agent access'
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Specificity | Lists multiple concrete actions: 'Build agent-facing web experiences', 'ATXP-based authentication', 'following the ClawDirect pattern', and specifies the tech stack (Express, SQLite, ATXP, @longrun/turtle). | 3 / 3 |
Completeness | Clearly answers both what ('Build agent-facing web experiences with ATXP-based authentication') and when ('Use this skill when building websites that AI agents interact with via MCP tools, implementing cookie-based agent auth, or creating agent skills for web apps'). | 3 / 3 |
Trigger Term Quality | Includes some relevant terms like 'agent auth', 'MCP tools', 'web apps', 'agent skills', but uses specialized jargon (ATXP, ClawDirect, @longrun/turtle) that users may not naturally say. Missing common variations like 'agent authentication', 'AI web interface'. | 2 / 3 |
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk | Highly distinctive with specific niche: ATXP authentication, ClawDirect pattern, agent-facing web experiences. The combination of MCP tools, cookie-based agent auth, and specific tech stack makes it unlikely to conflict with generic web development skills. | 3 / 3 |
Total | 11 / 12 Passed |
Implementation
85%Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.
This is a strong, actionable skill with complete, executable code examples and clear workflow progression. The main weakness is some verbosity in explanatory sections (ATXP explanation, deployment platform list) that Claude doesn't need. The architecture diagram, while helpful for humans, adds tokens without adding actionable information for Claude.
Suggestions
Remove or significantly condense the 'What is ATXP?' section - link to the ATXP skill instead of explaining it
Remove the deployment platform list - Claude knows common Node.js hosting options; just mention 'any Node.js hosting with persistent storage'
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The skill is fairly efficient but includes some unnecessary explanations (e.g., 'What is ATXP?' section explaining concepts, deployment platform listings). The architecture diagram and some explanatory text could be trimmed since Claude can infer these patterns. | 2 / 3 |
Actionability | Excellent executable code throughout - complete TypeScript files for db.ts, tools.ts, api.ts, and index.ts are copy-paste ready. Commands are specific with exact npm packages, and the skill template is fully formed. | 3 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | Clear 6-step build process with explicit sequencing. Each step builds on the previous with concrete file creation. The cookie bootstrap flow includes validation (checking cookie existence, verifying against database) and clear error handling paths. | 3 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | Well-organized with clear sections progressing from overview to implementation to deployment. External references are one level deep and clearly signaled (GitHub repo, ATXP skill link). Content is appropriately split between quick understanding and detailed implementation. | 3 / 3 |
