Hey @gedossman 👋

I ran your skills through tessl skill review at work and found some targeted improvements. Here's the full before/after:

score_card

enterprise-readiness-protocol (+31%)

  • Rewrote description with concrete actions (defines schema, validation rules, field specs) instead of abstract "open standard" language
  • Added inline YAML example so the contract format is immediately visible without reading spec.md
  • Added npx interf validate command to the Draft step for actionability
  • Made workflow steps more concrete (Draft step now mentions validation)

interf-draft (+9%)

  • Expanded description with specific dependency types scanned (API endpoints, auth providers, infrastructure, stakeholders) and natural trigger terms (rollout prerequisites, pre-launch checklists)
  • Tightened Step 1 from rhetorical questions to a focused scan checklist
  • Made validation step non-optional with a fix-and-rerun feedback loop
  • Changed heading from "Declare" to "Draft" to match the skill name

interf-preview (+14%)

  • Added natural trigger terms to description (deployment plan, implementation preview, go-to-market readiness assessment)
  • Added input verification step in "Before You Start" (contract has requirements, canonical IDs resolve)
  • Added validation checkpoint after building enterprise profile
  • Added example dependency chain to make Step 3 concrete
  • Added structured output table format in Step 4 for consistent deliverables

All skills

  • Converted description frontmatter from block scalar (>) to quoted string format

Honest disclosure — I work at @tesslio where we build tooling around skills like these. Not a pitch - just saw room for improvement and wanted to contribute.

I also added a lightweight GitHub Action that auto-reviews any skill.md changed in a PR (includes min permissions, uses a pinned action version, only posts a review comment).

This means that it gives you and your contributors an instant quality signal before you have to review yourself (no signup, no tokens needed).

Want to self-improve your skills? Just point your agent (Claude Code, Codex, etc.) at this Tessl guide (https://docs.tessl.io/evaluate/optimize-a-skill-using-best-practices) and ask it to optimize your skill. Ping me - @yogesh-tessl (https://github.com/yogesh-tessl) - if you hit any snags.

Thanks in advance 🙏
