toolhive-release

Creates ToolHive release PRs by analyzing commits since the last release, categorizing changes, recommending semantic version bump type (major/minor/patch), and triggering the release workflow. Use when cutting a release, preparing a new version, checking what changed since last release, or when the user mentions "release", "version bump", or "cut a release".

Quality

Content

92%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, highly actionable skill body: concrete commands and parameterized tool calls for every step, an explicit user-confirmation checkpoint, polling-based validation, a dedicated error-handling section, and one well-signaled reference file that carries the detailed workflow documentation. The only trimmable material is the redundant "When to Use" section and the inline workflow-chain summary that duplicates the reference.

Suggestions

Remove or shrink the "When to Use" section — it repeats the frontmatter description's trigger phrases verbatim, and Claude already receives the description when the skill loads.

Trim the "Release Workflow Chain" section to a two-line pointer to references/WORKFLOW-REFERENCE.md, since the full chain is already documented there (keep only the inline list of workflow names if a quick orientation is desired).

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

Commands and MCP calls are given with minimal padding and no explanations of concepts Claude already knows, but the "When to Use" section restates the frontmatter description almost verbatim, and the "Release Workflow Chain" section duplicates detail already documented in the reference file. Anchor 4 (efficient with minor instances that could be trimmed); not 5 because of this redundant material.

4 / 5

Actionability

Every step has copy-paste-ready commands ("git tag --sort=-v:refname | head -1", "git log <last-tag>..HEAD --oneline --no-merges") or fully parameterized tool calls (owner: "stacklok", repo: "toolhive", workflow_id: "create-release-pr.yml"), plus a concrete example output and specific error-recovery tools. Matches the fully-executable anchor.

5 / 5

Workflow Clarity

Six clearly sequenced steps with an explicit validation checkpoint ("Present the analysis and recommendation to the user and WAIT for explicit confirmation before proceeding") and feedback loops for error recovery (poll status until "completed", check the conclusion field, use get_job_logs on failure). The confirmation gate and status polling satisfy the validation requirement for this consequential operation, so the destructive-operation cap does not apply.

5 / 5

Progressive Disclosure

The procedural core lives inline while detailed workflow documentation is split into a single clearly signaled, one-level-deep reference ("See [WORKFLOW-REFERENCE.md](references/WORKFLOW-REFERENCE.md)"), which exists as a real file with no nested references. Section headers make navigation easy, matching the clear-overview anchor.

Description

96%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 description that clearly states concrete capabilities in third person and pairs them with an explicit, natural-language 'Use when' trigger clause. The only weakness is that some standalone trigger terms ('release', 'version bump') are generic and could collide with other release-oriented skills.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

The description lists multiple concrete actions — "analyzing commits since the last release", "categorizing changes", "recommending semantic version bump type (major/minor/patch)", and "triggering the release workflow" — in third-person voice, matching the anchor for comprehensive concrete coverage. Not 4 because there are no meaningful gaps in the action inventory for this domain.

5 / 5

Completeness

It explicitly answers both what ("Creates ToolHive release PRs by analyzing commits... triggering the release workflow") and when ("Use when cutting a release, preparing a new version... or when the user mentions 'release', 'version bump', or 'cut a release'") with concrete trigger phrases. Not 4 because the 'when' clause is fully explicit, not merely present.

5 / 5

Trigger Term Quality

It covers natural phrases users would actually say — "cutting a release", "cut a release", "new version", "version bump", "checking what changed since last release" — including synonym variations. Not 4 because the natural-term coverage is comprehensive rather than missing only a few terms.

5 / 5

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

The ToolHive-specific framing ("Creates ToolHive release PRs") carves out a clear niche, but the bare trigger words "release" and "version bump" are generic and could overlap with a generic release/versioning skill. Not 5 because of this minor overlap risk; not 3 because the domain binding makes confusion unlikely outside closely related skills.
