Hey @vaneenige 👋

really like how transparent the README is about what gets installed. That audit table listing every network-touching step with source links is the kind of thing most skill packs don't bother with. 8 skills covering the full Stream stack from CLI operations to platform-specific scaffolding for Swift, Android, RN, and Flutter, that's solid coverage.

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
stream-cli 91% 97% +6%

stream-cli had the most headroom among your passing skills so I focused there.

Changes made

stream-cli (+6%):

  • Removed the redundant "CLI Rules (summary)" section at the end of SKILL.md, which restated all six points already covered in the CLI Workflow section above it (endpoint discovery, help flags, lazy auth, missing params, safe mode, summarization)
  • This eliminated token waste without losing any information, since every rule in the summary was already present in the workflow steps and exit code recovery table
  • Content conciseness score improved from 2/3 to 3/3, bringing the overall score from 91% to 97%
  • Net change: 9 lines removed, 0 lines added

I also stress-tested your stream-cli skill against a few real-world task evals and it held up really well on safe mode refusal recovery for mutating endpoints (the exit code 5 flow with user notification before retry). Solid design.

quick honest disclosure. I work at https://github.com/tesslio where we build tooling around skills like these. Not a pitch, just saw room for improvement and wanted to contribute.

If you want to self-improve your skills, or define your own scenarios to pressure test, just ask your agent (Claude Code, Codex, etc.) to evaluate and optimize your skill with Tessl. Ping me @rohan-tessl, if you hit any snags.

Thanks in advance 🙏
