Developer Feedback

I took a look at your automating-messages skill and wanted to share some thoughts.

The TL;DR

You're at 96/100, solidly in A territory. This is based on Anthropic's best practices for skill design. Your strongest areas are Spec Compliance (14/15) and Progressive Disclosure Architecture (26/30) - the hub-and-spoke structure with separate reference files is really well done. The weakest area is Utility (17/20), mostly around feedback loops and degrees of freedom.

What's Working Well

  • Spec Compliance is chef's kiss - Your YAML frontmatter is tight, name conventions are perfect (hyphen-case), and description triggers are well-chosen (iMessage, JXA, Messages automation).

  • Reference architecture is smart - You've got 4 focused reference files (control-plane, database-forensics, monitoring-daemons, ui-scripting-attachments) that each stay under 60 lines. That's efficient token-wise and easy to navigate.

  • Security awareness - You're not being alarmist, just factual about FDA requirements and the trade-offs of Messages automation. The validation checklist in SKILL.md gives developers a real run-check pattern.

  • Working code matters - You've got SQL query templates, launchd plist guidance, and actual send/receive examples. People can copy-paste and adapt.

The Big One

Redundant safeSend implementations - You've got the safeSend function explained in both SKILL.md and control-plane.md with minor variations. This is eating into your token economy and creating maintenance burden.

Fix: Keep one canonical example in SKILL.md (the quick recipe version), then in control-plane.md just referenc...
