Developer Feedback

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

The TL;DR

You're at 96/100, solid A grade. This is based on Anthropic's Claude Skills best practices framework. Your strongest area is Spec Compliance (14/15) — the YAML frontmatter is clean, naming conventions are spot-on, and your description nails the trigger phrases. The weakest area is Writing Style (8/10) — mostly minor tense inconsistencies that are easy wins.

What's Working Well

  • Progressive Disclosure nailed it (26/30). Your 5-file reference structure is chef's kiss — basics, recipes, advanced, dictionary, and PyXA API are perfectly organized with clear separation of concerns. Developers land in SKILL.md and find exactly what they need without confusion.

  • Utility is genuinely strong (17/20). You're solving a real problem. Notes automation in JXA isn't well-documented, and you cover three different approaches (JXA, PyXA, PyObjC). The input/output examples in the quickstart plus your template-driven folder paths for meetings/people show you've actually thought about how people use this.

  • Spec Compliance is basically perfect (14/15). Valid YAML, correct hyphen-case naming, solid third-person description. You're using allowed-tools too, which shows attention to detail.

The Big One: Redundant Code Between Files

Your quickstart in SKILL.md duplicates the full ensurePath function (~30 lines) that also appears in notes-recipes.md. This is burning tokens unnecessarily and creates a maintenance headache — if that function needs updating, you have to remember both places.

The fix: Keep a minimal working examp...
