test-macos-app

Slash command that runs the smallest meaningful macOS test scope first and explains failures by category. Invoke explicitly with /test-macos-app — this skill never self-triggers.

Quality

Content

65%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.

The content is concise and well-structured for a simple skill, but its workflow is more directional than executable and lacks the validation feedback loop expected for batch test execution.

Suggestions

Add the actual detection logic and focused-rerun commands (e.g., grep for a Package.swift vs .xcodeproj, and a sample `xcodebuild test -only-testing:` / `swift test --filter` invocation) to make the workflow executable.

Insert an explicit validation checkpoint (run focused subset -> if failures, classify -> rerun only the failing test once to rule out flake -> report) to add the missing feedback loop.

Drop or rephrase the opening restatement of the description to recover a few tokens.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

The body is lean and assumes Claude's competence with no padding or explanation of known concepts; the only minor inefficiency is the opening line restating the description nearly verbatim.

4 / 5

Actionability

Concrete elements like the failure categories (compile, assertion, crash, env/setup, flake) and the arguments are present, but the workflow gives high-level direction ('Detect whether the repo uses xcodebuild test or swift test') without the actual commands or detection method needed to execute it.

3 / 5

Workflow Clarity

The four numbered steps form a clear sequence, but running a test suite is a batch operation and there is no explicit validate-fix-retry feedback loop, which caps workflow clarity at 3 per the batch-operation rule.

3 / 5

Progressive Disclosure

This is a simple, single-purpose skill under 50 lines with no need for external references, and its Arguments/Workflow/Guardrails sections are well-organized, satisfying the simple-skill exception for a top score.

Description

53%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.

The description clearly identifies the macOS testing niche and gives explicit trigger guidance via the slash command, but it stays somewhat abstract on capabilities and frames the 'when' as an invocation mechanism rather than use-case scenarios.

Suggestions

Add a 'Use when ...' clause naming concrete scenarios (e.g., 'Use when the user asks to run macOS app tests, debug Xcode or swift test failures, or triage a failing macOS test run').

Expand the capability list with more concrete actions (e.g., 'detects xcodebuild vs swift test, runs a focused subset, classifies failures') to lift specificity.

Include common trigger synonyms such as 'Xcode tests', 'swift test', and 'unit tests' so the description matches natural user phrasing.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Names the macOS-testing domain and two concrete actions ('runs the smallest meaningful macOS test scope first' and 'explains failures by category'), but the actions are somewhat abstract rather than a comprehensive list of concrete capabilities.

3 / 5

Completeness

The 'what' is clear, but the 'when' is only weakly present: 'Invoke explicitly with /test-macos-app — this skill never self-triggers' describes the invocation mechanism rather than the scenarios when the skill is needed.

3 / 5

Trigger Term Quality

Includes relevant natural terms ('macOS test', '/test-macos-app') that a user might say, but misses common synonyms and variations like 'Xcode tests', 'swift test', or 'unit tests'.

3 / 5

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

The macOS-app-testing niche and explicit /test-macos-app slash command make it mostly distinct with minimal conflict risk, though it could marginally overlap with general iOS/Xcode testing skills.
