Quality

Content

93%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 tight, actionable overview that assumes Claude's competence and gives concrete commands. Its only gap is the absence of an explicit post-install/trust verification feedback loop.

Dimension	Reasoning	Score
Conciseness	Lean and efficient: a compact command table plus a short numbered workflow, with no padding or explanation of concepts Claude already knows.	5 / 5
Actionability	Provides copy-paste-ready native commands (e.g. `/skill install github:<owner>/<repo>`, `/skill trust <name>`) and concrete workflow steps covering the common install/update/remove cases.	5 / 5
Workflow Clarity	A clear five-step sequence with a trust-review checkpoint ("inspect the SKILL.md before recommending trust") and a conflict-resolution rule, but lacks an explicit validate-and-retry feedback loop around trust/install verification.	4 / 5
Progressive Disclosure	Under 50 lines with no need for external references, yet well-organized into Commands and Workflow sections with clear navigation; the simple-skill exception applies.	5 / 5

Description

87%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 concise, third-person, and answers both what and when with concrete trigger phrases. It is a strong description with only minor keyword/synonym gaps.

Dimension	Reasoning	Score
Specificity	Lists several concrete actions ("Install, update, trust, or inspect") tied to specific sources ("GitHub or local skill folders"), but omits remove/uninstall which the body covers, leaving minor coverage gaps.	4 / 5
Completeness	Explicitly states what it does (install/update/trust/inspect skills) and when to use it via a concrete "Use when the user asks for available skills or wants a community skill installed" clause.	5 / 5
Trigger Term Quality	Includes natural user phrases like "available skills" and "wants a community skill installed" plus "GitHub", but misses common synonyms such as "browse", "search", or "marketplace".	4 / 5
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk	Targets a clear Codewhale-specific niche (skill lifecycle management) with distinct triggers, so overlap with unrelated skills is minimal.	5 / 5
	Total	18 / 20 Passed
