lading-preflight

Environment validation checklist. Run this FIRST when starting a new Claude session to verify the environment is ready for optimization work. Checks Rust toolchain, ci/ scripts, build, benchmarking tools, profilers, memory tools, git state, and SMP CLI.

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 content is an efficient, fully actionable preflight workflow with an explicit stop-on-failure checkpoint and a concrete fix table. It is well-organized and appropriately references its bundle scripts without nested or monolithic structure.

Dimension	Reasoning	Score
Conciseness	The body is a lean set of commands and a fix table with no concept explanations or padding; every line earns its place, matching the top anchor.	3 / 3
Actionability	It gives an executable script path (".claude/skills/lading-preflight/scripts/preflight") and a copy-paste-ready fix table with concrete commands per failure, satisfying the top anchor.	3 / 3
Workflow Clarity	The sequence is explicit—run preflight, "STOP on any failure", suggest fixes from the table, then ask before proceeding—with a clear validation checkpoint and a confirm-before-act gate, matching the top anchor for a simple skill.	3 / 3
Progressive Disclosure	This is a simple under-50-line skill with well-organized sections that reference real bundle scripts (preflight, install_smp) one level deep, satisfying the top anchor for simple skills.	3 / 3

Description

85%

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 is specific, complete, and distinct, explicitly pairing a concrete checklist of capabilities with a clear run-FIRST trigger. Trigger-term coverage is somewhat specialized and could include more natural user phrasings.

Dimension	Reasoning	Score
Specificity	"Checks Rust toolchain, ci/ scripts, build, benchmarking tools, profilers, memory tools, git state, and SMP CLI" enumerates many concrete, specific actions rather than vague language, matching the top anchor.	3 / 3
Completeness	It states both what ("Environment validation checklist" plus the enumerated checks) and an explicit when ("Run this FIRST when starting a new Claude session to verify the environment is ready for optimization work"), satisfying the top anchor.	3 / 3
Trigger Term Quality	"Run this FIRST when starting a new Claude session" is an explicit trigger, but the natural keyword set is narrow and specialized ("environment validation", "optimization work") with limited common variations, fitting the middle anchor.	2 / 3
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk	The Rust/lading optimization preflight niche with SMP CLI and ci/ scripts references is a clear, distinct scope unlikely to trigger for unrelated skills.	3 / 3
