Hey @EvanBacon, thanks to your team for sharing expo/skills. Really nice move to make your workflows public, and kudos on soon hitting 1k stars! I just starred it.

Was running your skills through some evals and noticed a few things on expo-api-routes that were pretty quick to improve (moving from ~60% to ~90% agent performance):

  • added a 5-step build, test, deploy sequence so the agent isn't cherry-picking instructions + added a Verify Deployment section with curl commands to check the route works.

  • frontmatter description is (a little) generic. it didn't match prompts like add an API route or set up an endpoint so the skill was getting skipped in a lot of cases.

  • quickstart mixed with deep runtime details. pulled the EAS Hosting constraints and common patterns (auth middleware, API proxy) into references/ files so the skill stays scannable and the agent only pulls deeper context when it needs it.

these were easy changes to bring the skill in line with what performs well against Anthropic's best practices. honest disclosure, I work at a company where we build tooling around this. not a pitch, just fixes that were straightforward to make.

you've got 7 skills here, if you want to do it yourself, evals are free and open to run: link. otherwise happy to make the improvements for you.

- Expand frontmatter description with trigger clause and bump to v1.0.1
- Add References section, Workflow steps, and Verify Deployment section
- Extract EAS Hosting runtime and common patterns into reference files
