Hey @xerial 👋 I ran your skills through `tessl skill review` at work and found some targeted improvements for the `sms` channel skill. Here's the before/after: | Skill | Before | After | Change | |-------|--------|-------|--------| | sms | 58% | 90% | +32% | **Description improvements (biggest impact):** - Added explicit "Use when..." clause with natural trigger terms - Added common synonyms like "text message" to improve skill selection **Content improvements:** - Removed "SMS Channel Advantage" section (Claude already knows this) - Replaced ~125 lines of inline HTML card templates with reference to existing card-templates.md - Added character-count validation step (Phase 2) - Consolidated timing into compact markdown table - Streamlined compliance, CTA, and personalization sections Result: 287 lines → 107 lines with cleaner three-phase workflow.

Hey @xerial 👋
truly impressive work. 86 skills across 15 categories, from SQL optimisation to realtime personalisation to creative workflows. This is one of the most comprehensive skill collections I've come across.

Description improvements (biggest impact):
SMS campaigns,text message marketing,mobile ad copy,texting promotions,SMS marketing strategy)Content improvements:
../references/card-templates.md- same information, vastly fewer tokensalso stress-tested your
smsskill against a few real-world task evals and it held up really well on multi-part B2B personalization with{{first_name}}merge tags under the 300-character limit. Kudos for that.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 @yogesh-tessl, if you hit any snags.
