Hey @tnfink 👋 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 | |-------|--------|-------|--------| | run-benchmarks | 10% | 95% | +85% | The main issue was the missing YAML frontmatter — without it, the skill fails validation entirely and agents can't properly discover or match it. <details> <summary>Changes made</summary> - **Added YAML frontmatter** with `name` and `description` fields so agents can discover and select the skill - **Added a structured "Use when..." clause** in the description with specific trigger terms (performance benchmarks, comparing language execution times, profiling Haskell memory, dataset sizes) - **Replaced hardcoded JAVA_HOME path** (`/Users/tnfink/Library/Java/...`) with a portable `java_home` lookup that falls back gracefully - **Restructured content** from flat instructions/notes into a clear Workflow + Environment Requirements layout - **Improved formatting** with bold step labels and consistent inline code styling </details> 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](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 🙏
