Hey @ZhenHuangLab 👋 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 | |-------|--------|-------|--------| | collaborating-with-gemini-cli | 78% | 100% | +22% | <details> <summary>Changes made</summary> **Description improvements:** - Added explicit "Use when..." clause with natural trigger terms (ask Gemini to review code, get a second opinion, compare implementations, delegate analysis) - Removed inline backticks that were causing potential YAML parsing fragility - Kept all technical specificity while making the description more discoverable **Content improvements:** - Trimmed introductory framing (removed comparison to `collaborating-with-claude-code` and generic "Use this skill when..." opener) - Replaced verbose access modes list with a compact table - Consolidated effective-context guardrails section — removed the separate "Session rotation guidance" subsection and integrated the key signal (`over_effective_context_limit`) into the multi-turn sessions section - Moved full parameter reference to a new `REFERENCE.md` for progressive disclosure, keeping only essential flags inline - Streamlined requirements section (removed redundant sub-bullets) </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 🙏

Hey @ZhenHuangLab 👋
README是中文的 — noted. The conservative default strategy for Gemini CLI (read-only, one-shot + file-focused) shows thoughtful guardrailing for the weaker attention mechanism. Nice bridge pattern between Codex and Gemini. Wanted to suggest a few improvements to the SKILL.md.

I also added a lightweight GitHub Action that auto-reviews any skill.md changed in a PR (includes min permissions, uses a pinned action version, only posts a review comment).
This means that it gives you and your contributors an instant quality signal before you have to review yourself (no signup, no tokens needed).
