Hey @algal 👋 I ran your skills through `tessl skill review` at work and found some targeted improvements. Here's the full before/after: | Skill | Before | After | Change | |-------|--------|-------|--------| | peekaboo | 49% | 86% | +37% | | rotate-interests | 65% | 100% | +35% | | gmail-ro | 71% | 89% | +18% | | gcal-ro | 76% | 95% | +19% | | solveit-notebook | 76% | 89% | +13% | This PR covers 5 of your 6 skills to keep the contribution focused and reviewable. <details> <summary>Changes summary</summary> **All 5 skills:** - Added explicit `"Use when..."` clauses to frontmatter descriptions so agents know exactly when to activate each skill - Expanded trigger terms with natural user language (e.g. "schedule", "meetings", "check email", "screenshot") alongside the existing technical terms - Changed description format from bare strings to quoted strings (standard frontmatter format) **peekaboo:** - Rewrote description from vague "Capture and automate macOS UI" to concrete actions: "Take screenshots, click UI elements, type text, and automate macOS desktop interactions" - Added Troubleshooting section with permissions check and node-offline guidance **rotate-interests:** - Added error recovery for Wikipedia fetch failures (re-run or proceed with successful candidate) - Added validation step to verify INTERESTS.md still has exactly 5 entries after rotation **gmail-ro:** - Added Error handling section distinguishing empty results from actual errors - Added auth failure recovery guidance - Expanded trigger phrases with common variations ("Check my inbox", "Find emails about...") **gcal-ro:** - Expanded trigger phrases with natural terms ("What's my schedule?", "Any appointments this week?") **solveit-notebook:** - Added "Jupyter" as a trigger term alongside "SolveIt" for broader keyword coverage </details> ## Want your remaining skills optimised too? 🚀 This PR covers **5 of your 6 skills** to keep the contribution focused and reviewable. We have tooling that can go further: - **Optimize remaining 1 skill** automatically (same AI-powered pass as above) - **Add a GitHub Action** — [tesslio/skill-review-and-optimize](https://github.com/tesslio/skill-review-and-optimize) — that automatically reviews (and optionally optimizes) any `SKILL.md` changed in future PRs. Review mode works with zero secrets; maintainers can add `TESSL_API_TOKEN` for AI suggestions and the `/apply-optimize` comment flow. Interested? Just tick the box below and we'll raise a follow-up PR: - [ ] **Yes please!** Raise a follow-up PR: optimize the remaining 1 skill + add the Tessl skill-review-and-optimize GitHub Action - [ ] **No thanks** — happy with the 5 skills in this PR --- Honest disclosure — I work at @tesslio where we build tooling around skills like these. Not a pitch - just saw room for improvement and wanted to contribute. Want to self-improve your skills? Just point your agent (Claude Code, Codex, etc.) at [this Tessl guide](https://docs.tessl.io/evaluate/optimize-a-skill-using-best-practices) and ask it to optimize your skill. Ping me - [@rohan-tessl](https://github.com/rohan-tessl) - if you hit any snags. Thanks in advance 🙏
