The TL;DR

You're at 100/100, A-grade territory. This is based on Anthropic's best practices for agentic skills. Your strongest area is Spec Compliance (15/15) — you've nailed the frontmatter, naming conventions, and description quality. The weakest pillar is Writing Style (9/10), but honestly, that's splitting hairs at this level.

What's Working Well

• Two-tier architecture is chef's kiss. Your main SKILL.md (245 lines) links to 6 specialized references instead of dumping everything in one file. That's exactly how Progressive Disclosure should work — agents load what they need, when they need it.

• Trigger phrases are comprehensive. You cover the full spectrum: "gh commands", "github cli", "GitHub Actions", "workflow yaml", "matrix builds", "CI/CD monitoring". This means the skill activates for the right use cases.

• Dense, command-focused content. Your references avoid fluffy prose — they're tables of commands, flags, and real examples. The search.md, api.md, and automation.md files are tight and scannable.

• Strong validation and feedback loops. You document exit codes, rate limit checks, gh auth status verification, and include a pre-commit checklist. Agents can actually verify things worked.

The Big One: Workflow-Authoring Length

Your workflow-authoring.md clocks in at 1600 lines, which is a lot to load when an agent only needs a specific pattern (matrix builds, caching, OIDC, etc.). This costs you about 2 points on PDA.

Here's the fix: Split this into two files:

• references/workflow-basics.md — Simple workflows, common patterns, caching 101
• `references/wor...
