Manage Things 3 via the `things` CLI on macOS (add/update projects+todos via URL scheme; read/search/list from the local Things database). Use when a user asks Bitterbot to add a task to Things, list inbox/today/upcoming, search tasks, or inspect projects/areas/tags.

Quality

Content

100%

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

The body is a tight, executable reference: real commands with flags, sequenced modify steps, dry-run safety for writes, and honest handling of unsupported operations. Organization is clean with no token waste.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

The body is lean command/example lists with no concept explanation Claude already knows; every line earns its place. The '2026-01-02' deadline is an example value inside a command, not stale time-sensitive guidance, so it does not penalize conciseness.

3 / 3

Actionability

Commands are concrete, fully-flagged, and copy-paste ready (e.g. `things add "Buy milk" --notes "2% + bananas"` and `things update --id <UUID> --auth-token <TOKEN> --completed`), matching the executable anchor.

3 / 3

Workflow Clarity

The modify workflow is explicitly sequenced (get ID -> authenticate -> update) and pairs destructive write ops with a `--dry-run` safe-preview checkpoint, satisfying the validation requirement instead of capping at 2.

3 / 3

Progressive Disclosure

A single self-contained file with clear section headers (Setup, Read-only, Write, Examples, Delete, Notes) and no nested external references — appropriate for a compact skill that needs no bundle files.

Description

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.

A focused, well-constructed description: concrete capabilities, explicit 'Use when' triggers in natural language, and a clear niche. Third-person voice is maintained throughout, so no specificity penalty applies.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Lists multiple concrete actions — 'add/update projects+todos via URL scheme' and 'read/search/list from the local Things database' — matching the multi-action anchor rather than the single-domain level 2.

3 / 3

Completeness

Explicitly answers both what (manage Things 3 via the things CLI) and when (an explicit 'Use when a user asks Bitterbot to...' clause), so it clears the cap that level 2 imposes for a missing trigger clause.

3 / 3

Trigger Term Quality

Natural user phrasing is well covered: 'add a task to Things, list inbox/today/upcoming, search tasks, or inspect projects/areas/tags' — terms a user would actually say.

3 / 3

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

The niche is narrow and distinct — Things 3 on macOS via a named CLI, scoped to a 'Bitterbot' caller — making false triggers against other skills unlikely.
