resend-cli

Operate the Resend platform from the terminal — send emails (including React Email .tsx templates via --react-email), manage domains, contacts, broadcasts, templates, webhooks, API keys, logs, automations, and events via the `resend` CLI. Use when the user wants to run Resend commands in the shell, scripts, or CI/CD pipelines, or send/preview React Email templates. Always load this skill before running `resend` commands — it contains the non-interactive flag contract and gotchas that prevent silent failures.

Content

86%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 CLI skill body: executable examples, a gotchas table, command/subcommand tables, and clean one-level-deep reference routing. It is concise for its breadth, with only minor room to tighten and to make validation feedback loops more explicit.

Suggestions

Add an explicit validate→fix→retry loop for destructive/batch operations (e.g., after broadcasts send or contacts imports, show 'verify with emails get / logs get; on failure, fix payload and re-run') to lift workflow_clarity above 4.

Trim a few mildly explanatory lines (e.g., 'Prefer a package manager when available') to push conciseness toward the leanest anchor.

Consider a short 'verify after send' checklist item alongside the Common Patterns send example so the validation checkpoint is visible inline rather than only in the Common Mistakes table.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

Dense, fluff-free reference material with no padding about what email/CLI concepts are, and it assumes Claude's competence; the sheer breadth (~160 lines across many command groups) carries inherent volume, with a few mildly explanatory lines that could be trimmed, placing it just above the midpoint rather than at the leanest anchor.

4 / 5

Actionability

Copy-paste-ready bash commands throughout — install checks, 'Common Patterns' (send, inline image, React Email, domain flow, broadcast, CI/CD, doctor), a subcommand table, and exact flag contracts — fully executable and covering the common cases.

5 / 5

Workflow Clarity

Multi-step flows are sequenced (domain create → verify → get; broadcast create with --send) and validation gates exist (--dry-run for sends, 'resend doctor', 'emails get <id>' to check last_event), but explicit validate→fix→retry feedback loops are implied rather than spelled out for destructive/batch operations.

Progressive Disclosure

SKILL.md is a clear overview pointing to 17 real one-level-deep reference files, each mapped to a task in the 'When to Load References' section; all referenced paths exist on disk and navigation is easy.

Description

100%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 crisply states the tool, enumerates concrete capabilities, and gives explicit 'Use when...' trigger guidance including file extensions. It is specific, complete, and clearly scoped to the Resend CLI.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Lists many concrete actions — 'send emails (including React Email .tsx templates via --react-email), manage domains, contacts, broadcasts, templates, webhooks, API keys, logs, automations, and events' — giving comprehensive coverage of the CLI's capability surface.

5 / 5

Completeness

Explicitly answers both what ('Operate the Resend platform from the terminal...') and when ('Use when the user wants to run Resend commands in the shell, scripts, or CI/CD pipelines, or send/preview React Email templates') with concrete trigger phrases.

5 / 5

Trigger Term Quality

Natural user phrasing is well covered — 'send emails', 'React Email templates', 'run Resend commands in the shell, scripts, or CI/CD pipelines', plus the file extension '.tsx' — matching the comprehensive-synonyms anchor.

5 / 5

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

Clear niche (the Resend platform CLI) with distinct triggers tied to 'resend' commands and React Email; minimal realistic overlap with unrelated skills.
