Discovery
32%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 provides a reasonable overview of task management capabilities but lacks explicit trigger guidance for when Claude should use this skill. It has moderate specificity and trigger terms but would benefit from a 'Use when...' clause and more comprehensive action verbs to distinguish it from related productivity skills.
Suggestions
Add a 'Use when...' clause with explicit triggers like 'Use when the user mentions tasks, to-do lists, checklists, action items, or needs to track deadlines and priorities.'
Expand trigger terms to include common variations: 'to-do', 'checklist', 'reminders', 'deadlines', 'action items', 'backlog'.
Add more specific actions to increase distinctiveness: 'mark tasks complete', 'set reminders', 'filter by priority', 'view overdue items'.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Specificity | Names the domain (task/todo management) and lists some actions (create, organize, track) with attributes (priorities, due dates), but doesn't comprehensively list specific operations like 'mark complete', 'set reminders', 'categorize', or 'archive'. | 2 / 3 |
Completeness | Describes what the skill does but completely lacks a 'Use when...' clause or any explicit trigger guidance for when Claude should select this skill. Per rubric guidelines, missing explicit trigger guidance caps this at 2, and since the 'when' is entirely absent, this scores 1. | 1 / 3 |
Trigger Term Quality | Includes natural terms like 'task', 'todo list', 'priorities', 'due dates' that users might say, but misses common variations like 'to-do', 'checklist', 'reminders', 'deadlines', or 'action items'. | 2 / 3 |
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk | Somewhat specific to task management but could overlap with project management skills, calendar skills, or general productivity tools. The mention of 'priorities and due dates' helps narrow scope but isn't distinctive enough. | 2 / 3 |

Implementation
37%Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.
This skill content reads like a feature advertisement rather than actionable guidance. While it's concise and well-structured, it completely lacks implementation details—no code, no commands, no explanation of what system or tools to use, and no workflow for actually managing tasks. Claude would have no idea how to execute any of these features.
Suggestions
Add concrete implementation code or commands showing HOW to create, update, and complete tasks (e.g., file-based storage, API calls, or specific tool usage)
Define a clear workflow for task management operations including where tasks are stored and how to query them
Specify the data format for tasks (JSON schema, markdown format, etc.) with concrete examples of task entries
Include validation steps for task operations (e.g., confirming task creation, handling duplicate tasks)
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The content is extremely lean with no unnecessary explanations. It lists features and usage examples without explaining what tasks or todos are, respecting Claude's intelligence. | 3 / 3 |
Actionability | The skill provides no concrete implementation guidance—no code, no commands, no specific instructions on HOW to create tasks, set priorities, or interact with any system. The usage examples show user inputs but not what Claude should do. | 1 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | There is no workflow defined. No steps for task creation, no process for managing todos, no validation or feedback loops. It's purely a feature list without any operational guidance. | 1 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | The content is well-organized with clear sections (Features, Usage Examples), but there are no references to additional documentation for implementation details that would clearly be needed for a functional skill. | 2 / 3 |
Total | 7 / 12 Passed |
Validation
81%Checks the skill against the spec for correct structure and formatting. All validation checks must pass before discovery and implementation can be scored.
