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.

Quality

Content

68%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, command-dense skill with explicit prerequisites and a prominently flagged redeploy-after-watch checkpoint. Its weaknesses are the missing safety validation around the destructive destroy command (which caps workflow clarity), and duplicate command listings that pad token cost without adding guidance.

Suggestions

Add a validation step around 'yarn webiny destroy --env <name>': warn to double-check the environment name before destroying (especially vs. prod/staging), and note verifying with 'yarn webiny info --env <name>' first — this lifts workflow_clarity past the destructive-operation cap.

Add an explicit post-deploy verification step (e.g., run 'yarn webiny info' and confirm the expected URLs) so the deploy workflow has a feedback checkpoint rather than ending at command invocation.

Remove the duplication between 'CLI Commands Reference', 'Quick Reference', and the inline code blocks — keep one consolidated cheat-sheet and drop the redundant restatements to tighten conciseness.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

The body is largely lean and Webiny-specific (no generic explanations of React, Lambda, or CI/CD), with justified explanation of the non-obvious Local Lambda Development mechanism. It stays at 4 rather than 5 because the 'CLI Commands Reference' table and 'Quick Reference' block restate commands already shown with code blocks above, which is trimmed-able duplication.

4 / 5

Actionability

Nearly all guidance is copy-paste executable ('yarn webiny deploy core api', 'yarn webiny watch api', 'yarn webiny info --env prod') covering the common cases. Not 5 because a couple of snippets are fragments — the Logger example ('this.logger.info(...)') lacks the surrounding class/context to run as-is, and the webiny.config.tsx snippet is a partial excerpt.

4 / 5

Workflow Clarity

Sequences are clear and prerequisites are explicit ('you must deploy Core and API first'; the bolded MUST-redeploy-after-watch checkpoint with rationale), which would merit a 4. However the skill includes a destructive operation — 'yarn webiny destroy --env feature-123' — with no validation or caution step (e.g., confirming the environment name, protecting prod), and the rubric caps workflow_clarity at 3 for destructive operations lacking validation.

3 / 5

Progressive Disclosure

No bundle files exist, and the single-file body is well organized with clear section headers, a command table, and a 'Related Skills' section for navigation. It sits at 4 rather than 5 because at 217 lines some content (the CLI command table and per-surface debugging details) could plausibly live in separate reference files, and no one-level-deep reference files are used at all.

Description

83%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: third-person, niche-scoped, with an explicit and unusually detailed 'Use this skill when...' trigger clause covering commands, subsystems, and the critical redeploy-after-watch gotcha. The main improvement room is making the 'what' clause as concrete as the 'when' clause and adding a few natural synonyms.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

The description names concrete activity categories ('Deploying, developing locally, managing environments, and debugging Webiny projects') and the trigger clause enumerates specific commands ('deploy, destroy, info', 'watch mode'). Not a 5 because the 'what' clause itself stays at the category level rather than enumerating the concrete actions the way the anchor-5 example does.

4 / 5

Completeness

Both halves are explicit: the 'what' ('Deploying, developing locally, managing environments, and debugging Webiny projects') and a highly specific 'when' clause ('Use this skill when the developer asks about deployment commands..., the Local Lambda Development system, ... or the redeploy-after-watch requirement') with concrete trigger phrases — matching the anchor-5 example's structure. Not 4 because the 'when' is not vague or under-specified; it enumerates trigger scenarios.

5 / 5

Trigger Term Quality

Good natural keyword coverage: 'deployment commands (deploy, destroy, info)', 'watch mode', 'API or Admin', 'state files', 'debugging API/Admin/Infrastructure errors', 'redeploy-after-watch requirement'. A few natural variants are missing (e.g., 'yarn webiny', 'local Lambda'), keeping it below the comprehensive synonym/extension coverage of the anchor-5 example.

4 / 5

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

'Webiny projects' plus deploy/watch/debug triggers give it a clear niche with minimal conflict against non-Webiny skills. It stays at 4 rather than 5 because 'managing environments' and 'build parameters' overlap territory plausibly claimed by the sibling skills it itself references (webiny-infrastructure-extensions, webiny-project-structure), leaving minor overlap risk.
