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

The body is highly actionable and well-structured, with concrete tooling, block types, and a ready-to-run publish command plus a clear sequenced workflow. Its lone weakness is mild redundancy between the intro paragraph, the frontmatter description, and the 'When To Use' section.

Suggestions

Trim the opening paragraph so it does not restate the frontmatter description and the 'When To Use' use-case list verbatim; let the description carry the what and 'When To Use' carry the triggers.

Consider collapsing the five quoted example questions in 'When To Use' into a shorter inline list to save tokens while preserving the trigger signal.

Dimension	Reasoning	Score
Conciseness	The body is mostly efficient and free of basic-concept padding, but the opening paragraph ('turns a specific code or product question into a published Agent-Native Plan artifact ... API contracts, schema/data models, UI states ...') restates the frontmatter description and overlaps the 'When To Use' list, so it could be tightened.	2 / 3
Actionability	It names specific tools (get-plan-blocks, list-plan-components, get-visual-plan), concrete block types (openapi-spec, api-endpoint, wireframe, data-model, file-tree, diff), and a copy-paste-ready publish command with flags and a JSON source-file example.	3 / 3
Workflow Clarity	The five-step Workflow is clearly sequenced with explicit preflight guards ('Inspect the real source first', 'Do not invent endpoints', 'Call get-plan-blocks before authoring. Use the live registry, not memory'); no feedback loop is required because publishing a visual answer is neither destructive nor batch.	3 / 3
Progressive Disclosure	With no bundle files present, the self-contained body is organized into well-signaled sections (When To Use, Workflow, Terminal Handoff, Don't, Related Skills) with only shallow navigation pointers to sibling skills, satisfying the simple-skill allowance.	3 / 3

Description

90%

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 well-constructed description that conveys both purpose and trigger conditions in third person with natural terminology. Its only weakness is a narrow action vocabulary, relying on one verb plus a list of domains rather than enumerating multiple distinct actions.

Suggestions

Lead with two or three distinct concrete verbs (e.g., 'Render, publish, and inspect ... as visual Plan artifacts') to broaden the action vocabulary beyond the single 'Answer' verb.

Add one or two more colloquial trigger phrasings (e.g., 'draw the flow', 'show me the shape of') so the description mirrors how users phrase visual-answer requests.

Dimension	Reasoning	Score
Specificity	The description names a clear domain ('visual Plan artifacts' for 'API specs, UI look, schema models, and architecture') but rests on a single action verb ('Answer code/product questions as visual Plan artifacts') with a list of use-cases rather than multiple distinct concrete actions, matching the 'names domain and some actions, but not comprehensive' anchor.	2 / 3
Completeness	It explicitly answers what ('Answer code/product questions as visual Plan artifacts using repo, bridge, or GitHub context') and when ('use for API specs, UI look, schema models, and architecture'), satisfying both halves with an explicit trigger clause.	3 / 3
Trigger Term Quality	Phrases like 'API specs', 'UI look', 'schema models', and 'architecture' are natural terms a user would say ('what is the API spec', 'what does this UI look like'), giving good coverage of likely trigger language.	3 / 3
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk	The 'visual Plan artifacts' niche combined with concrete contexts (repo, bridge, GitHub) and specific use-cases carves a clear, distinct trigger space unlikely to fire for unrelated skills.	3 / 3
