skill-research-process
Systematic process for building comprehensive Claude Code skills using parallel research agents. Triggers on "research for skill", "build skill from docs", "create comprehensive skill", or when needing to gather extensive documentation from official sources before skill creation.

Quality
Discovery
89%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 description is strong in completeness and distinctiveness, with explicit trigger phrases and a clear niche. The main weakness is moderate specificity - while it describes the general process, it could benefit from listing more concrete actions or outputs (e.g., 'spawns research agents, synthesizes documentation, generates skill markdown files').
Suggestions
Add 2-3 more concrete actions to improve specificity, such as 'spawns parallel agents to crawl documentation, synthesizes findings, generates structured skill files'
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Specificity | Names the domain ('building comprehensive Claude Code skills') and mentions 'parallel research agents' and 'gather extensive documentation', but doesn't list multiple concrete actions like what specific steps or outputs are produced. | 2 / 3 |
Completeness | Clearly answers both what ('Systematic process for building comprehensive Claude Code skills using parallel research agents') and when ('Triggers on...' with explicit trigger phrases and contextual condition). | 3 / 3 |
Trigger Term Quality | Includes natural trigger phrases users would say: 'research for skill', 'build skill from docs', 'create comprehensive skill', plus contextual trigger 'gather extensive documentation from official sources'. Good coverage of variations. | 3 / 3 |
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk | Very specific niche combining skill creation + research agents + documentation gathering. The trigger terms are distinct ('research for skill', 'build skill from docs') and unlikely to conflict with general coding or documentation skills. | 3 / 3 |

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 exemplary skill document that demonstrates excellent structure, actionability, and workflow clarity. The three-stage process with explicit quality gates, anti-hallucination checkpoints, and error recovery procedures provides comprehensive guidance. The progressive disclosure pattern effectively balances overview content with detailed references.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The skill is lean and efficient, using tables, checklists, and code blocks without explaining concepts Claude already knows. Every section serves a clear purpose with no padding or unnecessary context. | 3 / 3 |
Actionability | Provides concrete, executable commands (init_skill.py, package_skill.py), specific agent launch syntax, exact citation formats, and copy-paste ready patterns. References to external prompt templates are clearly linked. | 3 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | Excellent multi-stage workflow with explicit quality gates between each stage, clear validation checklists, and error recovery procedures. The Stage 1 → Gate 1 → Stage 2 → Gate 2 → Stage 3 → Gate 3 structure is unambiguous with feedback loops for failures. | 3 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | Well-structured overview with clear one-level-deep references to agent-prompts.md, mcp-tools.md, and gaps-analysis.md. Content is appropriately split between the main skill and reference files with clear navigation signals. | 3 / 3 |
Total | 12 / 12 Passed |
