Unusually well-engineered for a skill repo: built a throwaway venv, installed the bundled Python package, and actually ran its pytest suite live — 349 tests passed (the marketplace.json claim of '338 tests' is close and, if anything, an undercount, not overselling); the CLI (adb-control --help) also failed gracefully with a clear message when no adb binary was on PATH instead of crashing.

Scored on four weighted criteria — install, triggering, output vs. baseline, docs. How scoring works

  • Installs cleanly 5/5
  • Triggers reliably 5/5
  • Output vs. baseline 7/10
  • Docs & honesty 5/5
