Hey @bitwikiorg 👋

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
chat-input 16% 75% +59%
advanced-search 17% 62% +45%
mcp-best-practices 17% 70% +53%
comparison-template 17% 73% +56%
check-bounding-boxes 17% 91% +74%

This PR is intentionally scoped to 5 skills to keep things reviewable — more skills can be improved in follow-ups or via automated review on future PRs.

Changes summary

Across all 5 skills:

  • Fixed name field from underscores to kebab-case (e.g. chat_inputchat-input) — this was the Github Pages #1 blocker, causing deterministic validation to fail entirely and zeroing out all LLM-judged dimensions
  • Replaced generic "Imported skill X from Y" descriptions with actionable "Use when..." descriptions as quoted strings
  • Added structured skill framing: "When to Use" sections, key component tables, and workflow steps
  • Preserved all original domain content (code, reference docs) intact
  • Used third-person voice throughout

Per-skill highlights:

  • chat-input: Added component table (ChatInput, ChatTextArea, CompletionPopup), input behavior reference, and keybinding summary
  • advanced-search: Added intro paragraph covering scope (filters, strategies, connected sources) and "When to Use" trigger list
  • mcp-best-practices: Added comprehensive "When to Use" covering scaffolding, tool design, transport, security, and review use cases
  • comparison-template: Added 5-step workflow (define criteria → research → fill matrix → analyze → recommend) and a concrete database-comparison example
  • check-bounding-boxes: Added usage snippet, checks-performed table, and clear trigger conditions (post-PDF-analysis, CI gate)

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.

Want to self-improve your skills? Just point your agent (Claude Code, Codex, etc.) at this Tessl guide and ask it to optimize your skill. Ping me - @rohan-tessl - if you hit any snags.

Thanks in advance 🙏
