Developer Feedback
I took a look at your using-tmux-for-interactive-commands skill and wanted to share some thoughts.
Links:
The TL;DR
You're at 74/100, solid C-grade territory. This skill is based on Anthropic's best practices for agentic skills. Your strongest area is Ease of Use (21/25)—the metadata and trigger terms are spot-on. The weakest link is Progressive Disclosure Architecture (19/30)—everything's crammed into one 179-line file when it should be layered.
What's Working Well
- Excellent trigger phrases in the description (vim, git rebase -i, Python REPL). That specificity is exactly what makes skills discoverable.
- Practical examples with real I/O—the vim and Python REPL examples show exactly what the commands do. That's chef's kiss for clarity.
- Solid utility core. You're solving a real gap: Claude can't naturally control interactive tools. That's genuinely valuable for agent workflows.
- Consistent terminology throughout (session, send-keys, capture-pane). Makes it way easier to follow.
The Big One: Single File Should Be Layered
Right now you've got 179 lines in one SKILL.md. That kills your PDA score (19/30) because users have to scroll through everything to find what they need.
The fix: Create a references/ directory and split the skill:
using-tmux-for-interactive-commands/
├── SKILL.md (80 lines max - overview + quick reference + Core Pattern)
├── references/
│ ├── common-patterns.md (detailed patterns)
│ ├── common-mistakes.md (troubleshooting)
│ └── tmux-wrapper.sh (bundled script)
Keep SKILL.md focused on the essentials, use frontmatter links to pull in references w...
