lading-optimize-find-target

Finds a valid optimization target in lading. Returns a filled target.yaml template with pattern, technique, target, file, bench, and fingerprint. Use before /lading-optimize-hunt or when selecting a new optimization target.

Quality

Content

82%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.

A tight, highly actionable seven-phase workflow with concrete commands, output schemas, and explicit filtering/ranking rules. Its only notable gaps are a missing error-recovery feedback loop and a cross-skill asset dependency, which keep workflow clarity and progressive disclosure at 4 rather than 5.

Suggestions

Add an explicit validate→fix→retry loop (e.g., re-run profiling or re-scan a module when a hit matrix cell is ambiguous) to push workflow clarity toward 5.

Trim the motivational sentences in Phase 3 ('This history teaches you what to look for. Successful past techniques are strong signals for where to look next.') to lift conciseness.

Note the cross-skill dependency on lading-optimize-hunt/assets/db.yaml explicitly (or vendor a local copy) so the skill is self-contained and progressive disclosure is unambiguous.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

The body is dense and mostly assumes Claude's competence — a 14-row pattern table, terse phase descriptions, and concrete output formats with little padding; mild over-explanation ('This history teaches you what to look for. Successful past techniques are strong signals...') keeps it just short of the lean 5 anchor.

4 / 5

Actionability

Provides copy-paste-ready guidance throughout — explicit Glob patterns, a runnable script path (scripts/profile-modules, verified present), the TSV output schema, a required hit-matrix format, opportunity tuples, ranking rules, and a final YAML template — matching 'fully executable; specific examples cover the common cases'.

5 / 5

Workflow Clarity

Seven clearly sequenced phases with a 'must follow exactly' procedure, an explicit STOP gate in Phase 5, and a deterministic tiebreaker; it avoids the batch-operation cap because Phase 5 acts as a validation gate, but lacks an explicit validate→fix→retry feedback loop that would reach the 5 anchor.

4 / 5

Progressive Disclosure

Well-organized into seven headed phases with one-level-deep, clearly signaled references (the bundled scripts/profile-modules and the cross-skill db.yaml path); it is not the simple-skill 5 case (~120 lines, external references) and the cross-skill dependency is a minor organization note rather than a monolith.

Description

78%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.

A specific, third-person description that clearly states what the skill produces and when to invoke it, with strong distinctiveness for a niche domain. It sits just below top marks on specificity, triggers, and completeness because coverage is single-action and lacks synonym variations.

Suggestions

Broaden the 'when' clause with a few natural synonyms (e.g., 'when looking for what to optimize', 'when picking a benchmark to improve') to lift trigger-term and completeness scores.

Consider mentioning the broader action set the skill performs (profiling, history analysis, pattern matching) rather than only 'finds a target', to push specificity toward comprehensive coverage.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Names the lading optimization domain and specifies the concrete deliverable — a filled target.yaml template enumerating pattern, technique, target, file, bench, and fingerprint — which matches 'lists several specific actions; minor gaps' rather than the single-action vagueness of a 3 or the exhaustive multi-action coverage of a 5.

4 / 5

Completeness

Explicitly answers both what ('Finds a valid optimization target... Returns a filled target.yaml template...') and when ('Use before /lading-optimize-hunt or when selecting a new optimization target'), but the what-side is a single action and the when lacks the richer synonym list of the 5 anchor.

4 / 5

Trigger Term Quality

Includes natural phrases a user would say ('selecting a new optimization target') plus the cross-skill trigger '/lading-optimize-hunt', giving good keyword coverage; falls short of 5 because it lacks synonyms or file-extension-style variations.

4 / 5

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

Tied to a specific project (lading) with a distinct niche (optimization-target discovery) and a sibling-skill cross-reference, giving minimal overlap with other skills; matches the 'clear niche with distinct triggers' anchor.
