Hey @JaimeParker 👋
I ran your skills through
tessl skill reviewat work and found some targeted improvements.Here's the full before/after:
This PR is intentionally scoped to 5 skills to keep it reviewable — more skills can be improved in follow-ups or via automated review on future PRs.
Changes summary
academic-grant-writer: Added missing YAML frontmatter (was causing 10% score — deterministic validation failure). Added proper
nameanddescriptionfields with "Use when..." trigger clause. Tightened workflow sections for conciseness while preserving all domain-specific content (总分总 structure, LaTeX notation, Zotero integration, word count targets).continuous-agent-loop: Expanded description with concrete actions and "Use when..." clause. Added an executable sequential loop example with quality gate checks. Replaced vague failure/recovery lists with a structured table mapping failure modes to detection signals and specific recovery actions.
continuous-learning-v2: Fixed broken title line break ("Instinct\n-Based" → single line). Trimmed ~50% of content by removing version comparison tables, backward compatibility notes, and architectural explanations that don't help agent execution. Added a verification step for hooks. Improved description with natural trigger terms.
iterative-retrieval: Rewrote description with concrete actions and "Use when..." clause. Trimmed the "Problem" section (agent already understands context limitations). Streamlined phase descriptions while preserving the core 4-phase loop, examples, and best practices.
python-patterns: Reduced from ~750 lines to ~130 by removing patterns the agent already knows (EAFP, basic comprehensions, context managers, etc.). Focused on project-specific conventions: type hint style, error handling hierarchy, concurrency selection, performance patterns, and tooling config. Added "Use when..." trigger clause.
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 and ask it to optimize your skill. Ping me - @rohan-tessl - if you hit any snags.
Thanks in advance 🙏
