Quality

Content

93%Weight 40%Scale 1-5

Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.

The content is a tight, highly actionable overview with concrete examples, explicit gate exemptions, a validation command, and clean one-level-deep references. The only minor gap is the lack of an explicit validation-failure recovery loop.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

The body is lean and dense, assuming Claude's competence: no padding, no explanation of what a changelog is, and every line (format, type values, exemptions, verify command) earns its place.

5 / 5

Actionability

It gives a copy-paste-ready frontmatter example with concrete values, enumerated `type` values, explicit exemption glob patterns, and an executable verify command (`pnpm run release:notes:validate`), covering the common cases.

5 / 5

Workflow Clarity

The Format / Skip or Label / Verify sections form a clear logical sequence with a concrete validation checkpoint, but there is no explicit error-recovery feedback loop if validation fails, keeping it just below 5.

4 / 5

Progressive Disclosure

The body is a concise overview with well-signaled one-level-deep references (`Full format: .changes/README.md`, `Gate policy: tools/release/check-release-note-gate.mjs`) and no nested references, fitting the clear-overview anchor for a simple skill.

Description

51%Weight 40%Scale 1-5

Based on the skill's description, can an agent find and select it at the right time? Clear, specific descriptions lead to better discovery.

The description has strong, distinctive trigger guidance but is missing any statement of what the skill actually does, which caps completeness and specificity. Adding a concrete action clause would lift the weakest dimensions.

Suggestions

Add a 'what' clause before the 'Use when' triggers, e.g. 'Drafts and validates release notes as `.changes/<area>-<slug>.md` files. Use when...'

Lead with the concrete action so the description answers both what the skill does and when to use it.

Consider adding natural synonyms such as 'changelog entry' or 'release notes file' to broaden trigger-term coverage.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

The description names the domain (`.changes note`, `Release note gate`, `type: internal or no-release-note`) but lists no concrete actions the skill performs, matching the 'names domain but actions minimal or generic' anchor rather than the entirely-vague anchor.

2 / 5

Completeness

It provides an explicit 'Use when...' trigger but never states what the skill does (e.g. drafts/validates release notes), matching the 'only when is present without what' anchor; the what is entirely absent.

2 / 5

Trigger Term Quality

Phrases like 'a change may need a .changes note', 'the Release note gate fails', and 'type: internal or no-release-note' are natural terms a developer would say, giving good keyword coverage; not a 5 because synonyms and extensions are not comprehensively enumerated.

4 / 5

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

The triggers (release-note gate, `.changes` notes, `internal`/`no-release-note` labels) describe a clear niche with distinct triggers and minimal overlap with other skills.
