Hey 👋 @fcakyon

I ran your skills through tessl skill review at work and found some targeted improvements.

Changes made

Across all 23 skills:

  • Converted all frontmatter descriptions to quoted string format with specific, action-oriented language
  • Added "Use when..." trigger clauses with natural search terms users would actually type
  • Structured setup workflows into numbered steps for progressive disclosure
  • Replaced bullet-list troubleshooting with structured Error/Cause/Fix tables
  • Added concrete, executable code examples where missing
  • Removed redundant sub-headings and consolidated overlapping sections
  • Used collapsible
    Details blocks for reference material (channel types, MCP limitations, etc.)
  • Preserved all domain expertise, specialized terminology, and existing code examples

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 - @rohan-tessl (https://github.com/rohan-tessl) - if you hit any snags.

Thanks in advance 🙏

Hey,

I noticed this skill improvement PR got closed — totally fair, I clearly missed something on what you actually need from contributions.

Would you be open to a quick 15-min chat so I can understand your standards better? The changes covered 23 skills with improvements like structured setup workflows, error/cause/fix tables, and better trigger clauses — so I'd love to know if the approach didn't fit your vision for the repo, or if there's a better way to contribute.

The goal is to ensure future contributions save time, deliver value to the open-source community, and are made in a thoughtful and effective way.
