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 follows best practices. It provides specific concrete actions, includes natural trigger terms users would actually say (including the common 'gcal' abbreviation), explicitly states when to use it, and is clearly distinguishable from other skills through its Google Calendar focus.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Specificity | Lists multiple specific concrete actions: 'Create, update, and organize Google Calendar events', 'Check availability', 'book time', and 'manage calendars'. Uses third person voice correctly. | 3 / 3 |
Completeness | Clearly answers both what (create, update, organize events, check availability, book time, manage calendars) AND when with explicit 'Use when...' clause listing specific trigger scenarios. | 3 / 3 |
Trigger Term Quality | Excellent coverage of natural terms users would say: 'schedule a meeting', 'set up an appointment', 'book a call', 'check gcal', 'manage calendar events'. Includes the common abbreviation 'gcal' which users frequently use. | 3 / 3 |
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk | Clear niche focused specifically on Google Calendar with distinct triggers like 'gcal', 'calendar events', 'schedule a meeting'. Unlikely to conflict with other skills due to the specific platform (Google Calendar) and action types. | 3 / 3 |
Total | 12 / 12 Passed |
Implementation
85%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-structured skill with excellent actionability and workflow clarity. The command examples are concrete and executable, error handling guidance is explicit about what's retryable vs requires user intervention, and references are appropriately organized. Minor verbosity in setup sections and some redundant information (dependency list appears twice) prevent a perfect conciseness score.
Suggestions
Remove the 'Model Guidance' section - Claude doesn't need to be told what model capabilities are required
Consolidate the dependency list to appear only once, either in Installation or Setup Verification but not both
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | Generally efficient but includes some unnecessary sections like 'Model Guidance' (Claude knows its own capabilities) and the setup verification section could be more compact. The dependency list is repeated in both Installation and Setup Verification. | 2 / 3 |
Actionability | Provides fully executable bash commands with concrete examples including real arguments, time formats, and attendee syntax. Commands are copy-paste ready with clear parameter patterns. | 3 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | Clear setup sequence (install → configure → verify), explicit error handling guidance distinguishing retryable vs non-retryable errors, and specific agent guidance for pagination and declined events. The 'stop and inform the user' instruction for auth errors is an excellent feedback loop. | 3 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | Well-structured with clear overview in SKILL.md and appropriate references to external docs (permissions.md, command-reference.md, OAuth guides). References are one level deep and clearly signaled with descriptive link text. | 3 / 3 |
Total | 11 / 12 Passed |
