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 marks. It provides specific concrete actions, comprehensive trigger terms that match natural user language, explicit 'Use when...' guidance with both technical criteria and user phrases, and clear distinctiveness through its focus on parallel/concurrent independent task execution.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Specificity | Lists multiple specific concrete actions: 'dispatching one focused agent per problem domain', 'completing batch workloads', with concrete examples like 'multiple failing test files, broken subsystems, or independent bugs'. Uses third person voice correctly. | 3 / 3 |
Completeness | Clearly answers both what (runs concurrent tasks via focused agents) AND when with explicit 'Use when...' clause covering both technical conditions (2+ parallel tasks, no shared state) and natural user phrases. | 3 / 3 |
Trigger Term Quality | Excellent coverage of natural terms users would say: 'run things in parallel', 'work on multiple issues at the same time', 'batch processing', 'multi-task', plus domain-specific triggers like 'failing test files', 'broken subsystems', 'independent bugs'. | 3 / 3 |
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk | Clear niche focused on parallel/concurrent execution with distinct triggers. The emphasis on 'independent tasks', 'without shared state', and specific parallelism keywords makes it unlikely to conflict with sequential task-handling skills. | 3 / 3 |

Implementation
77%Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.
This is a solid, actionable skill that clearly explains when and how to dispatch parallel agents. The workflow is well-sequenced with proper verification steps, and the real example adds concrete value. Main weakness is some redundancy between sections and all content being inline rather than using progressive disclosure for supplementary material.
Suggestions
Consolidate the 'When to Use/When Not to Use' section with the decision tree to eliminate redundancy
Consider moving the 'Real Example' section to a separate EXAMPLES.md file and linking to it
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | Content is mostly efficient but includes some redundancy. The decision tree and 'When to Use/When Not to Use' sections overlap significantly. The 'Common Mistakes' table repeats guidance already covered in the agent prompt structure section. | 2 / 3 |
Actionability | Provides concrete, executable guidance with specific TypeScript dispatch syntax, detailed agent prompt templates with exact wording, and a real example showing the complete workflow from problem identification to resolution. | 3 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | Clear 4-step sequence (Identify → Create → Dispatch → Review) with explicit verification steps at the end. The workflow includes feedback loops for conflict detection and full suite validation before integration. | 3 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | Content is well-structured with clear sections, but everything is inline in a single file. For a skill of this length (~150 lines), the real example and common mistakes could be split into separate reference files to keep the main skill leaner. | 2 / 3 |
