rerun-data-model

How raw multimodal robot data maps onto the Rerun data model. Read FIRST, before modeling or converting a dataset — and whenever you are about to convert/ingest/preprocess robot data into an .rrd or build a Rerun recording, even if not asked for the data model. Resolves the entity-vs-component, property-vs-component-vs-layer, and static-vs-temporal decisions and routes to the mechanism (do it with readers and lenses, not hand-built chunks or per-message rr.log): rerun-chunk-processing and the importer skills rerun-mcap, rerun-urdf, rerun-parquet, rerun-mp4, rerun-lerobot.

Quality

Content

68%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, lean decision skill that routes mechanism details to siblings and gives concrete modeling rules plus a mapping-table artifact. Its main weakness is the absence of an explicit validation/verification checkpoint for the batch ingestion workflow it governs.

Suggestions

Add an explicit validation step after conversion — e.g. 'After ingest, open the .rrd and verify one entity per archetype renders on the expected timeline before proceeding' — to lift workflow_clarity above the batch-operation cap of 3.

Include a short fix→retry loop for the common failure modes already in the Gotchas section (e.g. layer not attaching → check recording_id match → re-emit), turning the gotchas into a feedback workflow.

Convert the sibling-skill pointers into explicit 'see <skill> for X' callouts at each decision branch so navigation is unambiguous rather than only listed up front.

Dimension	Reasoning	Score
Conciseness	Dense and assumes Claude's competence — no basic-concept padding, every section carries decision content — with only minor instances that could be trimmed, fitting 'efficient; minor instances of over-explanation' rather than the maximally lean 5.	4 / 5
Actionability	Gives concrete executable guidance for an instruction skill — 'New entity if it has its own spatial frame', 'Use AnyValues for non-standard fields', '[0][0] (0-based DataFrame, 1-based SQL)' and a fill-in mapping table — with minor gaps, sitting above the midpoint.	4 / 5
Workflow Clarity	A sequence exists (pick mechanism → model → decisions → mapping table) but dataset ingestion is a batch operation with no explicit validate/verify-record checkpoint or fix→retry feedback loop, which caps workflow clarity at 3 per the batch-operations guideline.	3 / 5
Progressive Disclosure	Clear overview ('This skill is just the decisions') with well-signaled one-level-deep routing to sibling skills and rerun.io docs, content appropriately split; it stops short of 5 because references are skill-name pointers rather than navigable file links and there are no local reference files.	4 / 5

Description

87%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, third-person description that clearly states a distinct niche, concrete actions, and explicit when-to-use triggers with file extensions. It loses only minor points on trigger-term breadth and specificity coverage, not on completeness or distinctiveness.

Dimension	Reasoning	Score
Specificity	Names several concrete actions in a specific domain — 'maps onto the Rerun data model', 'Resolves the entity-vs-component...decisions', 'routes to the mechanism' — with only minor coverage gaps, fitting the 'lists several specific actions' anchor rather than the fully comprehensive 5.	4 / 5
Completeness	Explicitly answers both what (maps data, resolves decisions, routes to mechanism) and when ('Read FIRST, before modeling or converting a dataset — and whenever you are about to convert/ingest/preprocess robot data into an .rrd... even if not asked for the data model') with concrete trigger phrases, matching the top anchor.	5 / 5
Trigger Term Quality	Good keyword coverage with synonyms and a file extension — 'convert/ingest/preprocess robot data into an .rrd', 'build a Rerun recording', 'multimodal robot data' — but a few natural phrasings a user might say are absent, so it sits above the midpoint rather than at the comprehensive 5.	4 / 5
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk	Occupies a clear niche (Rerun data-model decisions for robot data) with distinct triggers and explicit routing to named sibling skills, giving minimal conflict risk per the top anchor.	5 / 5
