render-cli

Installs and uses the Render CLI for deploys, logs, SSH, psql, Blueprint validation, and automation. Use when the user needs to run Render CLI commands, script deploys in CI/CD, authenticate with an API key, query services non-interactively, or troubleshoot CLI auth issues. Trigger terms: render CLI, render login, render deploys, render logs, render ssh, render psql, render blueprints validate, render skills, RENDER_API_KEY, non-interactive, CI/CD deploy.

Quality

Content

87%Weight 40%Scale 1-3

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

A well-organized, actionable CLI reference with lean tables, executable examples, and a properly signaled external cheatsheet. The main gap is the absence of a consolidated, checkpointed workflow with explicit error-recovery loops for deploy operations.

Suggestions

Add a consolidated step-by-step deploy workflow (authenticate → set workspace → create deploy --wait → verify) with explicit validation checkpoints and a 'if it fails, do X' recovery loop.

Embed a brief failure-recovery note directly in the deploy patterns section rather than only in the separate Common Mistakes table, so the feedback loop is part of the workflow itself.

Dimension	Reasoning	Score
Conciseness	Lean reference-style body using tables and code blocks with no padding or explanation of concepts Claude already knows; every section (command tables, deploy patterns, common mistakes) earns its place.	3 / 3
Actionability	Provides fully executable, copy-paste-ready commands and a complete GitHub Actions YAML example, matching the level-3 anchor for concrete executable guidance.	3 / 3
Workflow Clarity	Deploy patterns include a --wait checkpoint and a Common Mistakes recovery table, but there is no consolidated, explicitly sequenced multi-step workflow with embedded validate→fix→retry feedback loops, so it sits at level 2 rather than 3.	2 / 3
Progressive Disclosure	Body is a clear overview with a well-signaled one-level-deep reference (references/command-cheatsheet.md, which exists) described in a References table, matching the level-3 anchor.	3 / 3
	Total	11 / 12 Passed

Description

100%Weight 40%Scale 1-3

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 capabilities, includes an explicit 'Use when' trigger clause, and lists natural trigger terms. It is concise and clearly distinguishable from other skills.

Dimension	Reasoning	Score
Specificity	Lists multiple concrete actions — 'deploys, logs, SSH, psql, Blueprint validation, and automation' — matching the anchor for specific concrete actions rather than the domain-only level 2.	3 / 3
Completeness	Answers both what ('Installs and uses the Render CLI for...') and when via an explicit 'Use when the user needs to run Render CLI commands...' clause, satisfying the level-3 anchor.	3 / 3
Trigger Term Quality	Explicit 'Trigger terms:' list (render CLI, render login, render deploys, render logs, render ssh, render psql, RENDER_API_KEY, CI/CD deploy) are phrases users would naturally type, giving good coverage of natural terms.	3 / 3
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk	Scoped specifically to the Render CLI with distinct command-based triggers, making it unlikely to fire for unrelated skills; matches the clear-niche level-3 anchor.	3 / 3
	Total	12 / 12 Passed
