Thanks @GregHolmes for the quick merge, and @lukeocodes for the review really appreciated the fast turnaround on a drive-by contribution. We've reviewed a bunch of skills across different orgs by now and have picked up some useful patterns around keeping them maintainable, secure, and well-scored as adoption grows — especially around the tradeoffs between agent-friendly brevity and SDK-accurate detail (which mattered a lot for the If you're open to it, a 15-min coffee would be a good way to swap notes: Calendly link. |

Hey @deepgram 👋
I ran your skills through
tessl skill reviewat work and found targeted improvements in your skills. Here's the before/after:These were easy changes to bring the skill's structure and activation in line with what performs well against Anthropic's best practices. Added error handling, reconnection logic, cleanup/shutdown steps, condensed verbose sections.
In addition, I stress-tested your
deepgram-dotnet-conversational-sttskill against a few real-world scenarios, and it held up really well. This means that your skill meaningfully improves agent steering and contributes to stronger output quality. Kudos for that!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.
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.
