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 a strong skill description that covers all key dimensions well. It provides specific capabilities, includes natural trigger terms users would actually say (including the colloquial 'gcal'), and has an explicit 'Use when...' clause with diverse trigger scenarios. The description is concise, uses third person voice correctly, and is clearly distinguishable from other skills.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Specificity | Lists multiple specific concrete actions: 'Create, update, and organize Google Calendar events and schedules. Check availability, book time, and manage calendars.' These are clear, actionable capabilities. | 3 / 3 |
Completeness | Clearly answers both 'what' (create, update, organize events; check availability; book time; manage calendars) and 'when' with an explicit 'Use when...' clause listing specific trigger scenarios. | 3 / 3 |
Trigger Term Quality | Excellent coverage of natural user terms: 'schedule a meeting', 'set up an appointment', 'book a call', 'check gcal', 'manage calendar events'. These are phrases users would naturally say, including the informal 'gcal' abbreviation. | 3 / 3 |
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk | Clearly scoped to Google Calendar specifically, with distinct triggers like 'gcal', 'calendar events', 'book a call', and 'schedule a meeting'. Unlikely to conflict with other skills due to the specific Google Calendar domain. | 3 / 3 |
Total | 12 / 12 Passed |
Implementation
72%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, well-organized skill that provides actionable CLI commands with good examples and clear references to supporting documentation. Its main weaknesses are moderate verbosity (some sections could be tightened) and missing validation/confirmation guidance for destructive operations like event deletion. The progressive disclosure is excellent with well-signaled references to detailed docs.
Suggestions
Add a confirmation or verification step for destructive operations (e.g., 'After deleting an event, verify with events get to confirm deletion') to improve workflow safety.
Trim the 'Setup Verification' section — the bullet list of what 'check' verifies is redundant since the command itself reports issues. Merge it into the Quick Start flow.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | Generally efficient but includes some unnecessary sections like 'Setup Verification' that repeats what 'check' does, the 'Model Guidance' section adds little value, and the troubleshooting section explains basic concepts. The dependency check list is redundant given the check command exists. | 2 / 3 |
Actionability | Provides fully executable, copy-paste ready commands throughout. The script usage section covers all operations with concrete syntax, and the examples section shows real-world scenarios with complete command-line invocations including all required flags and realistic values. | 3 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | The setup flow is reasonably sequenced (install → configure → check → use), and error handling distinguishes retryable from non-retryable errors. However, there are no explicit validation checkpoints for destructive operations like event deletion — no confirmation or verification step is mentioned, and the agent guidance for declined events is a workflow consideration but lacks a clear decision tree. | 2 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | Well-structured with a clear overview in SKILL.md and appropriate references to external docs: permissions.md for read/write classification, command-reference.md for full argument details, and external OAuth setup guides. References are one level deep and clearly signaled with descriptive labels. | 3 / 3 |
