Quality

Content

33%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.

The body is a near-empty placeholder: concise but devoid of actionable guidance, workflow, or meaningful structure. Its only non-floor scores come from the absence of verbosity and the absence of structural problems, not from any useful content.

Suggestions

Replace the placeholder sentence with the concrete action(s) the skill performs, including executable code or specific commands.

If the skill is multi-step, add a numbered workflow with a validation checkpoint before any destructive or batch operation.

State the skill's purpose in the body so the single section carries real guidance rather than meta-commentary about the file.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

The body is extremely lean with no verbosity or over-explanation of known concepts, but the lone sentence 'This skill is nested in a subdirectory' is non-instructional meta-commentary that does not fully earn its place, so it sits just below the lean-and-efficient anchor 5.

4 / 5

Actionability

The body provides no code, commands, or concrete steps and only describes rather than instructs, matching the 'entirely vague or abstract; no concrete code or commands' anchor.

1 / 5

Workflow Clarity

There are no steps, no sequence, and no stated purpose to sequence, matching the 'steps missing or incoherent; no sequence' anchor.

1 / 5

Progressive Disclosure

The skill is under 50 lines with no bundle files, no wall of text, and no nested references, so nothing is misplaced; it is appropriately minimal, though there is essentially no structured content to organize, keeping it just below the well-organized anchor 5.

Description

0%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.

The description is a placeholder that conveys no capability, no trigger terms, and no usage guidance, so it scores at the floor on every dimension. It needs a concrete statement of what it does and when to use it.

Suggestions

State a concrete capability, e.g. 'Processes files in nested subdirectories' or whatever the skill actually does.

Add a 'Use when...' clause with natural trigger phrases a user would say.

Include a domain noun and synonyms/file extensions to make the skill distinguishable from others.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

The description 'A nested skill in a subdirectory' names no concrete actions and not even a capability domain, matching the 'entirely vague; no concrete actions' anchor rather than anchor 2 which requires naming a domain.

1 / 5

Completeness

It states neither what the skill does (no action verb or capability) nor when Claude should use it, matching the 'missing both what and when' anchor.

1 / 5

Trigger Term Quality

'nested skill' and 'subdirectory' are not natural phrases a user would say when they need this skill, so there are no usable trigger keywords, matching the 'no natural keywords' anchor.

1 / 5

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

With no capability described it is entirely generic and indistinguishable from any other skill, matching the 'would conflict with virtually any skill' anchor.
