Quality

Content

57%

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

The body is admirably concise and well-structured for a small skill, but its workflow is too abstract to be directly actionable and lacks an explicit validation/feedback loop for a batch operation.

Suggestions

Add concrete guidance on how to size "bounded units" (e.g., target unit scope, max concurrent units) and how to invoke agent/worktree tools per unit.

Turn step 3 into an explicit validation checkpoint with a feedback loop, e.g. "Verify each unit's output; on failure, re-run or repair the failing unit before integrating."

Show one minimal example of partitioning a goal and dispatching units via the existing machinery so the workflow is copy-paste concrete.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

The body is a lean ~20 lines with no padded explanation of concepts Claude already knows; every line carries load (invocation, when-to-use, non-goals, workflow).

3 / 3

Actionability

The workflow steps ("Partition into bounded units", "Run units with existing agent/worktree tools", "Integrate results and verify") describe rather than instruct, offering no concrete method, commands, or executable examples for the core actions.

1 / 3

Workflow Clarity

Steps are numbered in a clear sequence, but for a batch operation the "verify" step is not an explicit validation checkpoint with a fix-and-retry feedback loop, so workflow clarity is capped at 2.

2 / 3

Progressive Disclosure

The skill is well under 50 lines with no need for external references, and the sections (Invocation, When to use, Non-goals, Workflow) are cleanly organized, satisfying the simple-skill path to a 3.

Description

60%

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 about the actions performed and appropriately lean, but it lacks an explicit "Use when..." trigger clause and relies on fairly technical terms, which weakens trigger quality and distinctiveness.

Suggestions

Add an explicit trigger clause such as "Use when the user asks to parallelize a large task, batch independent work, or split a goal into concurrent subtasks."

Include more natural user-facing keywords ("batch", "run in parallel", "split into subtasks") alongside the technical phrasing.

Sharpen distinctiveness by contrasting with delegate/fleet, e.g. "uses delegate/fleet to execute, but owns the partition/integrate/verify loop."

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

"Break a large, parallelizable goal into bounded work units, coordinate existing agent/worktree machinery, integrate, and verify" lists multiple specific concrete actions (partition, coordinate, integrate, verify), matching the score-3 anchor.

3 / 3

Completeness

It clearly states what the skill does, but there is no "Use when..." clause or equivalent explicit trigger; per the judging guidelines a missing explicit-when clause caps completeness at 2.

2 / 3

Trigger Term Quality

Terms like "parallelizable goal" and "agent/worktree machinery" are somewhat relevant but lean technical; common user phrasings ("batch", "run in parallel", "split this up") are absent, so coverage is partial rather than strong.

2 / 3

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

"coordinate existing agent/worktree machinery" and "reuse delegate/fleet" carve out a niche, but the framing still overlaps with general orchestration/delegation skills, so it is only somewhat specific.
