payoff-action-modeling

Model product UI actions from user intent questions after a meaningful outcome, completion, created resource, imported data, uploaded file, synced integration, report, deployment, automation, review state, handoff, or workflow milestone. Use when deciding which actions to show, hide, group, name, prioritize, defer, or place across outcome, item, selection, continuation, navigation, recovery, and assistance scopes.

Quality

Content

39%

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

The skill demonstrates strong domain expertise in UI action modeling with a well-structured workflow and comprehensive coverage of edge cases. However, it is severely over-long and verbose — explaining concepts Claude already knows, listing exhaustive enumerations inline, and failing to split content into referenced files. The lack of a complete worked example (showing an input scenario transformed into a finished action model) limits its actionability despite having many concrete label examples.

Suggestions

Cut the content by at least 50%: remove explanations of obvious concepts (what locality means, what intent pressure means), consolidate redundant guidance between Principles and Workflow sections, and trim the anti-patterns list to the 8-10 most critical items.

Extract the 44-item question bank, anti-patterns list, and action placement rules into separate reference files (e.g., QUESTION_BANK.md, ANTI_PATTERNS.md, PLACEMENT_RULES.md) and link to them from the main skill.

Add one complete worked example showing a specific scenario (e.g., 'AI generates 15 test cases from a requirements doc') transformed into a full action model table with all columns populated, demonstrating the workflow end-to-end.

Remove the promotional Casely mention at the end — it adds no instructional value and wastes tokens.

Conciseness

The skill is extremely verbose at ~300+ lines. It extensively explains UI design concepts Claude already understands (what 'locality' means, what 'intent pressure' means, what 'action density' is). The question bank alone is 44 items, the anti-patterns list is 23 items, and much of this is redundant with principles already stated. The content could be cut by 50-60% without losing actionable value.

1 / 3

Actionability

The skill provides a structured table format, concrete label examples (Download all, Approve selected, etc.), a common outcomes table, and a clear workflow sequence. However, it lacks executable examples — there's no worked example showing a complete input scenario transformed into a full action model output. The guidance is specific but remains at the instructional level rather than demonstrating a complete end-to-end application.

2 / 3

Workflow Clarity

The 8-step workflow is clearly sequenced with explicit validation in step 8 (review the model) and a comprehensive review checklist. Each step has concrete sub-instructions. The workflow moves logically from defining the outcome through classification, placement, deduplication, and final review, with clear checkpoints throughout.

3 / 3

Progressive Disclosure

The entire skill is a monolithic wall of text with no references to external files. The question bank (44 items), anti-patterns list (23 items), action placement rules, and common outcome examples could all be split into separate reference files. Everything is inline, making the skill overwhelming to consume in a single read.

Description

52%

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 attempts to be comprehensive and includes an explicit 'Use when' clause, which is good for completeness. However, it is extremely dense with domain-specific jargon that users would not naturally use, making it poor for trigger term matching. The enumeration of scopes and milestone types reads like an internal taxonomy rather than a clear, accessible skill description.

Suggestions

Replace jargon-heavy scope names ('continuation, navigation, recovery, assistance scopes') with plain-language examples a user would actually say, e.g., 'after a user signs up, completes a purchase, or uploads a file'.

Add natural trigger terms users would use, such as 'next steps UI', 'post-action buttons', 'what to show after completion', 'empty state actions', or 'contextual actions'.

Simplify the dense enumeration into a shorter, clearer statement—e.g., 'Determines which UI actions (buttons, links, prompts) to display after key user milestones like signups, uploads, or deployments.'

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

The description names a domain (product UI actions) and lists many actions (show, hide, group, name, prioritize, defer, place), but the language is dense and abstract rather than concretely illustrative. It reads more like a taxonomy than a clear capability list.

2 / 3

Completeness

The description does explicitly answer both 'what' (model product UI actions from user intent questions after milestones) and 'when' ('Use when deciding which actions to show, hide, group, name, prioritize, defer, or place across...scopes'). The 'Use when' clause is present and detailed.

3 / 3

Trigger Term Quality

The terms used are highly specialized jargon ('outcome scopes', 'continuation scopes', 'handoff', 'workflow milestone', 'assistance scopes') that users would rarely naturally say. A user needing help with UI action design would more likely say things like 'what buttons to show after signup' or 'next steps UI', none of which are represented here.

1 / 3

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

The description carves out a fairly specific niche around post-milestone UI action modeling, which is distinctive. However, the dense enumeration of overlapping concepts (outcome, item, selection, continuation, navigation, recovery, assistance scopes) could cause confusion with other UX or UI design skills, and the jargon makes it harder to distinguish cleanly.
