The TL;DR

You're at 80/100, solidly in B territory. This is based on Anthropic's skill best practices rubric. Your strongest work is the Progressive Disclosure Architecture (28/30) — the skill structure is clean and well-organized. The main gap is Spec Compliance (0/15), which is a parsing issue with your frontmatter that's costing you real points.

What's Working Well

  • PDA structure is tight — You've got a solid four-module breakdown with clear @include directives. Token efficiency is there with the concise overview leading to detailed modules.
  • Good trigger coverage — makefile, make, automation, portability, GNU Make — you're hitting the right discovery terms that developers would search for.
  • Workflow is practical — The numbered steps with TodoWrite integration and verification commands show you've thought about how someone actually uses this.
  • Utility is solid — Addressing real gaps like Makefile duplication and portability concerns. The problem-solving power here is legit (7/8).

The Big One: Fix Your Frontmatter

This is costing you 15 points straight up. Your YAML syntax is broken — the frontmatter section has duplicate "Triggers:" declarations mixed into the description, and it's failing to parse. Here's what you need:

---
name: makefile-review
description: Audit Makefiles for duplication, portability, and idiomatic GNU Make usage. Use when asked to "makefile review", "review Makefile", or "audit make build system".
triggers:
  - makefile
  - make
  - automation
  - portability
  - GNU Make
  - build system
---

Put this at the very top of SKILL.md, clean and proper YA...
