Hullo @schpet 👋 I ran your skills through `tessl skill review` at work and found some targeted improvements. Here's the before/after: | Skill | Before | After | Change | |-------|--------|-------|--------| | linear-cli | 54% | 100% | +46% | | release | 0% | 100% | +100% | <details> <summary>Changes made</summary> **linear-cli skill** (`skills/linear-cli/SKILL.md` + `SKILL.template.md`): - Expanded frontmatter description with specific actions (create, update, list, search, close), explicit "Use when..." trigger clause, and natural user phrases like "create a Linear issue", "list my tickets", "add a comment on ENG-123" - Condensed the "Why use file-based flags" explanation from a 4-bullet list to a single line — the example already demonstrates the point - Note: since `SKILL.md` is auto-generated from `SKILL.template.md`, both files were updated to stay in sync. You'll want to apply similar changes to the template so they persist through `deno task generate-skill-docs` runs **release skill** (`.claude/skills/release/SKILL.md`): - Fixed `name: Release` → `name: release` (validation requires lowercase with hyphens only) - Removed `version: 0.1.0` from frontmatter (unknown key that triggered a validation warning) - Rewrote description with specific actions and "Use when..." trigger clause - Removed redundant "When to Use" and "Prerequisites" sections (already covered by the description and discoverable by the agent) - Consolidated "Important Notes" into the skill header where they're immediately visible - Removed "Post-Release" section (generic verification steps the agent can handle) </details> 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 - [@popey](https://github.com/popey) - if you hit any snags. Thanks in advance 🙏

@popey i'm interested in improving this skill, it falls apart all over the place. would you be up for running some evals for me that improve it? common things i observe: the skill wont be invoked when i mention linear, it will take a guess at the cli args which will be incorrect (such as issue show instead of issue view) or a really common one i find is it'll botch adding comments to an issue. so, if you're up for it, i think this would be a welcome improvement but as is this PR isn't that convincing (i.e. it updates my release skill, i am the only user of that and it doesn't need changing) |

Hullo @schpet 👋 - I'm also a massive Linear (and their API) user, and only just discovered this tool, so thanks for making it!
