arn-spark-stress-interview

This skill should be used when the user says "stress interview", "synthetic interview", "user interview stress test", "interview my personas", "test with synthetic users", "persona interview", "simulate user interviews", "run user interviews", or wants to stress-test a product concept by conducting structured interviews with synthetic personas through three adversarial lenses (Pragmatist, Skeptic, Power User). Produces an interview report with per-persona findings, synthesized themes, and recommended concept updates.

Content

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

A well-structured, highly actionable orchestration skill with clear sequencing, feedback loops, and correctly externalized references. The only weakness is conciseness: a repeated dispatch parenthetical and a restating intro could be trimmed.

Suggestions

State the dispatch-convention fallback note (the 'see .../ensure-config.md "Dispatch convention" for fallback' parenthetical) once in an 'Agent Dispatch Convention' subsection and back-reference it from each Task invocation instead of repeating it verbatim four times.

Trim the opening paragraph's Phase 1–3 descriptions to a single-line overview, since the description frontmatter and Step 4 already cover that material in full.

Collapse the near-identical Wave 1/2/3 blocks into one parameterized template plus a small per-wave delta table to remove structural repetition while preserving the phase-parallel design.

Dimension	Reasoning	Score
Conciseness	Mostly efficient procedural content, but the dispatch-convention fallback parenthetical is repeated verbatim ~4 times and the intro restates phases already covered by the description and Step 4, so it could be tightened. Not a 1 because it avoids explaining concepts Claude already knows; not a 3 because of the repeated parenthetical and restated intro.	2 / 3
Actionability	Names exact agents (arn-spark-persona-architect, -product-strategist, -persona-impersonator), gives copy-ready delimited context-block templates, a concrete synthesis table schema, and exact report paths and AskUserQuestion option lists — fully actionable instruction guidance.	3 / 3
Workflow Clarity	Clear prerequisite gate plus a 6-step sequence with explicit phase-parallel waves and 'proceed to Wave N' transitions, backed by a detailed error-handling section with retry→ask→skip/abort feedback loops for this batch operation.	3 / 3
Progressive Disclosure	SKILL.md is an overview that loads three well-signaled one-level-deep references (interview-protocol.md, persona-casting-spec.md, interview-report-template.md), all of which exist in ./references/, with heavy protocol/template detail correctly split out rather than inlined.	3 / 3

Description

100%Weight 40%Scale 1-3

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

An exemplary description: concrete actions, eight natural trigger phrases, explicit what-and-when guidance, and a distinctive niche, all in third person. No changes needed.

Dimension	Reasoning	Score
Specificity	Lists multiple concrete actions — 'conducting structured interviews with synthetic personas', 'stress-test a product concept', and 'Produces an interview report with per-persona findings, synthesized themes, and recommended concept updates' — matching the multiple-specific-actions anchor.	3 / 3
Completeness	Clearly answers both what (stress-test a concept via synthetic persona interviews through three adversarial lenses, producing a structured report) and when ('This skill should be used when the user says...') with explicit triggers.	3 / 3
Trigger Term Quality	Explicitly enumerates eight natural phrases a user would say ('stress interview', 'synthetic interview', 'persona interview', 'simulate user interviews', etc.), giving strong coverage of real trigger terms.	3 / 3
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk	The three named adversarial lenses (Pragmatist, Skeptic, Power User) and the synthetic-interview trigger phrases carve a clear niche unlikely to fire for unrelated skills.	3 / 3
	Total	12 / 12 Passed
