Discovery
100%Based on the skill's description, can an agent find and select it at the right time? Clear, specific descriptions lead to better discovery.
This is a well-crafted skill description that excels across all dimensions. It clearly specifies the technology (Python/pytest), lists concrete capabilities, includes an explicit 'Use when...' clause with natural trigger terms, and maintains distinctiveness through pytest-specific terminology. The description uses proper third-person voice throughout.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Specificity | Lists multiple specific concrete actions: 'Write and evaluate effective Python tests', 'test design, fixtures, parameterization, mocking, and async testing'. These are concrete, actionable capabilities. | 3 / 3 |
Completeness | Clearly answers both what ('Write and evaluate effective Python tests using pytest') and when ('Use when writing tests, reviewing test code, debugging test failures, or improving test coverage') with explicit trigger guidance. | 3 / 3 |
Trigger Term Quality | Includes natural keywords users would say: 'tests', 'pytest', 'test code', 'test failures', 'test coverage', 'fixtures', 'mocking'. Good coverage of terms developers naturally use when discussing testing. | 3 / 3 |
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk | Clear niche focused on Python/pytest specifically, with distinct triggers like 'pytest', 'fixtures', 'parameterization'. Unlikely to conflict with general coding skills or other language testing skills. | 3 / 3 |
Total | 12 / 12 Passed |
Implementation
92%Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.
This is a high-quality skill that provides concrete, actionable pytest guidance with excellent code examples. The project-specific rules (async mode, in-memory transport, API version constraint) add significant value. The checklist provides good validation, though the content could benefit from splitting advanced topics into separate files for better progressive disclosure.
Suggestions
Consider splitting advanced topics (inline-snapshot, mocking patterns) into separate reference files linked from the main skill
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The content is lean and efficient, assuming Claude's competence with Python and pytest. No unnecessary explanations of basic concepts; every section provides actionable, specific guidance without padding. | 3 / 3 |
Actionability | Provides fully executable, copy-paste ready code examples throughout. Concrete commands for running tests, specific patterns for fixtures, mocking, parameterization, and error testing are all included with working code. | 3 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | Clear structure with logical progression from principles to specific patterns. The checklist at the end provides explicit validation steps. The constraint callout for API version prevents common errors. | 3 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | Content is well-organized with clear sections, but it's a moderately long single file (~150 lines of content). Some sections like inline-snapshot usage or mocking patterns could potentially be split into separate reference files for complex projects. | 2 / 3 |
