Quality

Discovery

40%

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 and identifies a clear niche (video frame/clip extraction via ffmpeg), making it distinctive. However, it lacks an explicit 'Use when...' clause and could benefit from more trigger terms and broader capability listing to help Claude reliably select it.

Suggestions

Add a 'Use when...' clause, e.g., 'Use when the user wants to extract frames, thumbnails, or short clips from video files, or mentions ffmpeg, .mp4, .mov, or video processing.'

Expand the capability list to include related actions like 'capture thumbnails, create GIFs from video segments, extract frames at specific timestamps'

Include common file extension trigger terms like '.mp4', '.mov', '.avi', '.mkv' to improve matching on user requests involving specific video formats.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Names the domain (videos) and some actions (extract frames, short clips) with a specific tool (ffmpeg), but doesn't list more comprehensive capabilities like format conversion, time range selection, or output options.

2 / 3

Completeness

Describes what the skill does but has no explicit 'Use when...' clause or equivalent trigger guidance, which per the rubric caps completeness at 2, and the 'what' is also only moderately detailed, placing this at 1-2. Given the missing 'when' clause entirely, this is capped and leans toward 1.

1 / 3

Trigger Term Quality

Includes good natural keywords like 'frames', 'clips', 'videos', and 'ffmpeg', but misses common variations users might say such as 'screenshot from video', 'thumbnail', 'gif', 'extract scene', or file extensions like '.mp4', '.mov'.

2 / 3

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

The combination of video frame/clip extraction with ffmpeg is a clear, distinct niche that is unlikely to conflict with other skills. The specificity of the tool (ffmpeg) and the action (extracting frames/clips from videos) makes it highly distinguishable.

Implementation

100%

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

This is an excellent, minimal skill that does exactly what it needs to. It's concise, actionable, and well-structured for its simple scope. The only minor consideration is that the script path uses {baseDir} templating which assumes the runner resolves it, but this is standard practice for skill bundles.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

Very lean and efficient. No unnecessary explanations of what ffmpeg is or how video formats work. Every line serves a purpose.

3 / 3

Actionability

Provides concrete, copy-paste ready bash commands with clear flag usage (--time, --out) and practical examples at different use cases (first frame vs. timestamp).

3 / 3

Workflow Clarity

This is a simple, single-purpose skill (extract a frame). The single action is unambiguous with clear examples. No multi-step process or destructive operations requiring validation checkpoints.

3 / 3

Progressive Disclosure

For a simple skill under 50 lines with no need for external references, the content is well-organized with a quick start section and concise notes. No bundle files are needed for this scope.
