webiny-local-development

Deploying, developing locally, managing environments, and debugging Webiny projects. Use this skill when the developer asks about deployment commands (deploy, destroy, info), local development with watch mode (API or Admin), the Local Lambda Development system, environment management (long-lived vs short-lived, production vs dev modes), build parameters, state files, debugging API/Admin/Infrastructure errors, or the redeploy-after-watch requirement.

Content

76%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 highly actionable, well-structured single-file skill with copy-paste commands and an explicit redeploy-after-watch checkpoint. Its main weaknesses are the lack of a validation checkpoint around the destructive `destroy` operation and minor content overlap across the TL;DR, Quick Reference, and CLI table.

Suggestions

Add an explicit validation/confirmation checkpoint before running `yarn webiny destroy --env <name>` (e.g., verify the environment name, confirm it is not a long-lived environment, and run `yarn webiny info --env <name>` first) to lift workflow_clarity above the destructive-operation cap.

Deduplicate the overlapping TL;DR, Quick Reference, and CLI Commands Reference table — keep one canonical command summary and cross-link to it to improve conciseness.

Tighten the API-development 'How it works' 4-step list and 'Benefits' bullets, which restate behavior Claude can infer from the watch command itself.

Dimension	Reasoning	Score
Conciseness	Efficient and mostly assumes competence (does not explain what Webiny/AWS/Lambda/Pulumi are), but the TL;DR, Quick Reference, and CLI Commands Reference table overlap, and the 4-step 'How it works' plus 'Benefits' lists are minor over-explanation that could be trimmed — efficient but not maximally lean.	4 / 5
Actionability	Copy-paste ready commands throughout (deploy, watch api/admin, info, destroy, --env flags) plus a concrete Logger code snippet cover the common cases fully, matching the level-5 anchor.	5 / 5
Workflow Clarity	Sequencing is present (deploy core/api before watch; the 'IMPORTANT: Redeploy After Watch' checkpoint is explicit), but the destructive `yarn webiny destroy --env feature-123` operation has no validation/confirmation checkpoint, which per the rubric caps workflow_clarity at 3 even though other steps are clear.	3 / 5
Progressive Disclosure	No bundle files exist (references/, scripts/, assets/ absent), so the skill is a single well-organized file with clear section headers, a CLI table, and a Related Skills pointer; structure is good and navigation is easy, though it lacks the one-level-deep external references that characterize the level-5 anchor.	4 / 5

Description

92%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 with explicit 'what' and 'when' coverage, concrete named actions, and Webiny-specific triggers that minimize conflict risk. The only minor gap is slightly thinner synonym/CLI-raw keyword coverage.

Dimension	Reasoning	Score
Specificity	Names concrete actions ('Deploying, developing locally, managing environments, and debugging') and enumerates specific subsystems and commands (deploy, destroy, info, watch mode, Local Lambda Development, state files), giving comprehensive coverage rather than the 1-2 actions at level 3.	5 / 5
Completeness	Explicitly answers both 'what' (deploy/develop/manage/debug Webiny projects) and 'when' via a concrete 'Use this skill when the developer asks about...' clause with multiple trigger phrases, matching the level-5 anchor.	5 / 5
Trigger Term Quality	Includes natural phrases users would say ('deployment commands (deploy, destroy, info)', 'watch mode (API or Admin)', 'environment management', 'debugging API/Admin/Infrastructure errors') with good coverage, but lacks a few synonyms and the raw CLI invocation ('yarn webiny') that would push it to 5.	4 / 5
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk	A clear Webiny-specific niche with distinctive triggers (Local Lambda Development, redeploy-after-watch, watch mode) makes overlap with other skills minimal; not the broad level-3 'works with document files' case.	5 / 5
