From 8769a00a4fd0ba3e35b09504f8d46b49a0114892 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: rohan-tessl Date: Wed, 8 Apr 2026 12:01:49 +0530 Subject: [PATCH] feat: improve skill scores for 5 core Rosetta skills MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Hey @isolomatov-gd 👋 I ran your skills through `tessl skill review` at work and found some targeted improvements. Here's the full before/after: | Skill | Before | After | Change | |-------|--------|-------|--------| | coding-agents-prompt-adaptation | 10% | 84% | +74% | | requirements-authoring | 10% | 87% | +77% | | requirements-use | 10% | 77% | +67% | | load-context | 25% | 68% | +43% | | reasoning | 36% | 65% | +29% | This PR is intentionally scoped to 5 skills to keep it reviewable — more can be improved in follow-ups or via automated review on future PRs. Note: The source skills live in instructions/r2/core/skills/ and are propagated to plugins/ via scripts/plugin_generator.py. All changes target the source files only — plugin copies will regenerate automatically on the next sync. Changes: - Fixed duplicate tags fields in YAML frontmatter (caused validation failures) - Ensured description uses quoted string format without XML-like tags - Removed generic role preamble sections - Added explicit numbered workflows to all 5 skills - Consolidated redundant rule sections (SRP/DRY/KISS into core_principles) - Merged overlapping validation/conflict/gap checks into unified checklists - Expanded load-context from 2 lines to full skill with workflow - Made reasoning confidence feedback loop actionable with weighted formula Signed-off-by: rohan-tessl --- .../coding-agents-prompt-adaptation/SKILL.md | 109 ++--- .../r2/core/skills/load-context/SKILL.md | 53 ++- .../r2/core/skills/reasoning/SKILL.md | 114 ++--- .../skills/requirements-authoring/SKILL.md | 450 ++++-------------- .../r2/core/skills/requirements-use/SKILL.md | 190 ++------ 5 files changed, 244 insertions(+), 672 deletions(-) diff --git a/instructions/r2/core/skills/coding-agents-prompt-adaptation/SKILL.md b/instructions/r2/core/skills/coding-agents-prompt-adaptation/SKILL.md index 307b937f..40bad8fb 100644 --- a/instructions/r2/core/skills/coding-agents-prompt-adaptation/SKILL.md +++ b/instructions/r2/core/skills/coding-agents-prompt-adaptation/SKILL.md @@ -1,7 +1,6 @@ --- name: coding-agents-prompt-adaptation -description: Adapt skills, agents, subagents, workflows, commands, rules, templates, or any generic prompt from one coding agent/IDE/context to another while preserving original intent, hooks, meaning, and strategy (Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Windsurf, OpenCode, or current project context). `ADAPT ` is alias command. -tags: ["prompting", "skills"] +description: "Adapt skills, agents, subagents, workflows, commands, rules, templates, or any generic prompt from one coding agent/IDE/context to another while preserving original intent, hooks, meaning, and strategy (Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Windsurf, OpenCode, or current project context).
