Developer Feedback
I took a look at your using-localstack skill and wanted to share some thoughts.

The TL;DR
You're at 88/100, solid B territory. This is based on Anthropic's Claude Skills best practices. Your strongest area is Utility (19/20)—the skill genuinely solves real problems for local AWS development. The weakest is Spec Compliance (11/15), which is fixable low-hanging fruit.
What's Working Well
Progressive Disclosure Architecture (28/30) is nearly perfect. Your SKILL.md is only 94 lines but packed with signal—no fluff. The layered structure with 10 reference files, examples directory, and specific troubleshooting guides is exactly what we want to see.
Utility (19/20) is your standout. You're addressing real gaps: local AWS development without paying for cloud cycles, deterministic CI/CD testing, and IAM debugging. The skill knows its constraints too (when NOT to use LocalStack).
Trigger terms are excellent: awslocal, LocalStack, Lambda, S3, DynamoDB, Terraform, CDK, CI/CD—developers will find this naturally when they search.
The Big One: Add Trigger Phrases to Description
Your description is accurate but missing trigger phrases, and that's costing you 2 points in Spec Compliance. Right now it reads:
description: Build, test, and debug AWS-native systems locally with LocalStack (Community/Pro)...
What you need:
description: Use this skill when asked to "set up LocalStack", "run LocalStack locally", "LocalStack debugging", or "AWS local testing".
Why it matters: Trigger phrases help Claude understand when to invoke your skill. Without them, developers have to stumble into it by accident. Th...
