Quality
Discovery
100%Based on the skill's description, can an agent find and select it at the right time? Clear, specific descriptions lead to better discovery.
This is an excellent skill description that hits all the key criteria. It provides specific actions and entities, includes natural trigger terms users would say, explicitly states both what it does and when to use it, and carves out a distinct niche with the Shortcut product name and URL pattern. The instruction to prefer this skill over WebFetch for matching URLs is a particularly strong disambiguation detail.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Specificity | Lists multiple specific concrete actions: 'view, search, update, and create items' across specific entities: 'stories, epics, objectives, iterations, docs, labels, teams'. Uses third person voice correctly. | 3 / 3 |
Completeness | Clearly answers both what ('Manage Shortcut stories, epics... view, search, update, and create items') AND when ('Use when the user mentions Shortcut, references tickets or tasks in Shortcut, or when you see URLs matching...'). | 3 / 3 |
Trigger Term Quality | Includes natural keywords users would say: 'Shortcut', 'tickets', 'tasks', and the URL pattern 'app.shortcut.com/*'. Also mentions the CLI tool name 'short CLI' for technical users. | 3 / 3 |
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk | Highly distinctive with specific product name 'Shortcut', URL pattern 'app.shortcut.com/*', and explicit instruction to use instead of WebFetch. Clear niche that won't conflict with generic project management skills. | 3 / 3 |
Total | 12 / 12 Passed |
Implementation
100%Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.
This is a well-crafted skill that efficiently guides Claude through Shortcut CLI operations. It excels at actionability with concrete commands, has clear workflow sequencing with validation checkpoints, and appropriately delegates detailed command documentation to reference files. The routing table pattern is particularly effective for handling multiple argument patterns.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The skill is lean and efficient, using tables for routing logic and avoiding explanations of concepts Claude already knows. Every section serves a clear purpose with no padding or unnecessary context. | 3 / 3 |
Actionability | Provides concrete, executable bash commands throughout. The routing table gives exact commands to run for each pattern, and the prerequisites section has copy-paste ready installation commands. | 3 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | Clear 4-step numbered workflow with explicit validation in step 1 (version check with specific actions for each outcome). Error handling table provides clear detection and response patterns for each failure mode. | 3 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | Excellent structure with concise overview in SKILL.md and clear one-level-deep references to `references/commands.md` with specific section headers. The reference table at the bottom provides clean navigation to detailed materials. | 3 / 3 |
Total | 12 / 12 Passed |
