Quality

Content

86%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 content is a concise, well-structured single-purpose skill with concrete executable examples and a clear convention sequence. Minor gaps in edge-case actionability and an absent explicit validation step keep it just below top marks on two dimensions.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

The body is lean with no concept padding — only concrete rules and code examples — so every token earns its place, matching the 'lean and efficient' anchor.

5 / 5

Actionability

Provides copy-paste-ready Kotlin, plugin.xml, and Bundle.properties examples plus concrete rules like 'NEVER instantiate Presentation in action constructors', but lacks a few edge-case details (e.g., action update/grouping), fitting 'mostly executable with minor gaps'.

4 / 5

Workflow Clarity

A clear numbered convention sequence (set id, optionally icon, then bundle text/description) is present; the single-purpose skill qualifies for the simple-skill exception and is non-destructive, but it lacks an explicit validation/checklist step, so it sits at 4 rather than 5.

4 / 5

Progressive Disclosure

At under 50 lines with no bundle files and well-organized sections (Documentation, Best Practices, Good example), the simple-skill exception applies and the structure is clear and navigable.

Description

62%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 clearly scopes a niche (IntelliJ AnAction implementation) and provides an explicit use-when clause, but it lists only one or two concrete actions and lacks trigger-term synonyms. It is solid but not exemplary.

Suggestions

Enumerate 2-3 concrete capabilities (e.g., 'register actions in plugin.xml, set text/description/icon, define action IDs') to lift specificity toward 5.

Add natural trigger synonyms users would say, such as 'action', 'AnAction', 'plugin.xml action', 'IntelliJ action registration'.

Tighten the 'when' clause with concrete trigger phrasing like 'Use when creating, registering, or modifying IntelliJ AnAction classes or plugin.xml action entries.'

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Names the domain (IntelliJ actions / AnAction) and the actions 'create or change an action', but does not enumerate multiple concrete capabilities, so it sits at the 'domain plus 1-2 concrete actions' anchor rather than the comprehensive level above.

3 / 5

Completeness

Both a clear 'what' (guidelines for implementing IntelliJ actions) and an explicit 'when' ('Use those rules when you need to create or change an action') are present; the trigger could be more specific, so it fits the 4 anchor rather than 5.

4 / 5

Trigger Term Quality

Includes relevant terms like 'actions', 'create or change an action', and 'intellij platform', but lacks synonyms or natural user variations, matching the 'some relevant keywords but missing common variations' anchor.

3 / 5

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

The IntelliJ AnAction niche is specific and mostly distinct from unrelated skills, with only minor overlap risk against other IntelliJ-platform skills, fitting the 'mostly distinct' anchor.
