native-ui

Authoring guide for the Native markup (.native) view tier of native-rendered Native SDK apps. TypeScript cores are the default and use this skill together with ts-core; Zig cores are an explicit alternative and this guide labels their lower-level UiApp recipes. Use when building or modifying native UI (widgets, layout, bindings, messages), writing .native files, wiring views to Model/Msg/update, testing markup views, or verifying a native app through the automation harness.

Quality

Content

60%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 body is a dense, highly executable reference with excellent command and code examples and a strong validation culture, but it is delivered as a ~1,350-line monolith with no bundle files at all. The API-reference bulk belongs in reference files loaded on demand, and duplicated sections (rich text / compiled typography) should be merged.

Suggestions

Split the reference-scale material — the Elements and Attributes tables, the effects channel (spawn/fetch/files/credentials/timers/audio/channels), and the fake-executor test surface — into files under references/ and keep SKILL.md as an overview with one-level-deep, clearly signaled pointers, per the progressive-disclosure anchor structure.

Merge the duplicated inline-styling guidance ("Rich text: inline spans and markdown" vs. "Compiled inline typography") into one section, and tighten the paragraph-length Notes cells in the Elements table to remove repetition.

Promote the scattered init → author → check → test → automate sequence into a single explicit workflow section with validate-and-fix feedback loops, so the reference material hangs off a clear guided path.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

The body runs ~1,347 lines (~40k tokens) — far past a SKILL.md token budget — and includes padded and duplicated passages: span styling rules appear in both "Rich text: inline spans" and "Compiled inline typography", elements-table Notes stretch to paragraph length, and the effects channel details exhaustive rules inline. It avoids explaining concepts Claude already knows, which keeps it above anchor 1, but the sheer volume and repetition place it at anchor 2 ("noticeably verbose; several... padded sections").

2 / 5

Actionability

Exceptionally actionable throughout: copy-paste-ready Zig, TypeScript, and HTML markup examples with exact imports and identifiers; exact commands ("native markup check src/view.native", "native automate assert 'gpu_nonblank=true' --absent 'error event='"); exact fake-executor signatures; concrete budgets, error names, and named example apps for every feature. Common cases are covered with executable code.

5 / 5

Workflow Clarity

The main path is sequenced with real validation checkpoints (init → write markup/core → `native check`/`markup check` → `native test`/test harness → automation harness with `automate wait`/`assert`), and validation is pervasive across sections. It falls short of anchor 5 because the document is reference-shaped rather than a guided workflow — sequences are scattered across sections, and validate→fix→retry loops are implied (e.g. automate-assert failure output) rather than spelled out.

4 / 5

Progressive Disclosure

No reference, script, or asset bundle files exist — everything, including ~1,100 lines of pure API reference (the Elements and Attributes tables, the full effects channel, the fake-executor test surface, audio/channel rules) is inlined in one monolithic SKILL.md. Section headers make the file internally navigable, but content that clearly belongs in separate files is inlined, which is anchor 2; anchor 3 would require actual separate reference files to be present.

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 description: it states exactly what the skill covers, gives an explicit "Use when" clause full of natural trigger terms and the file extension, and pre-emptively disambiguates the TypeScript-default vs Zig-alternative split against neighboring skills. No padding or over-claims.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

The description lists multiple concrete actions — "building or modifying native UI (widgets, layout, bindings, messages), writing .native files, wiring views to Model/Msg/update, testing markup views, or verifying a native app through the automation harness" — with comprehensive coverage and no vague filler. It is written in third person ("Authoring guide for..."), so no voice penalty applies.

5 / 5

Completeness

It explicitly answers "what" ("Authoring guide for the Native markup (.native) view tier of native-rendered Native SDK apps") and "when" ("Use when building or modifying native UI..., writing .native files, wiring views to Model/Msg/update, testing markup views, or verifying a native app through the automation harness") with concrete trigger phrases, matching the top anchor exactly.

5 / 5

Trigger Term Quality

Natural trigger terms cover the domain comprehensively: "native UI", "widgets", "layout", "bindings", "messages", ".native files", "testing markup views", "automation harness" — including synonyms (UI / markup views) and the file extension (.native). A user needing this skill would say these phrases; nothing common is missing.

5 / 5

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

A clear niche (the .native markup view tier) with distinct triggers, and it actively disambiguates from sibling skills: "TypeScript cores are the default and use this skill together with ts-core; Zig cores are an explicit alternative and this guide labels their lower-level UiApp recipes." Minimal risk of triggering the wrong skill.
