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 body is a lean, well-organized instructional guide with concrete specifics and a clear numbered workflow. Its only real gap is referencing a starter template without actually providing it.

Suggestions

Include the minimal SKILL.md starter template inline in step 3 so the guidance is copy-paste ready.

Add a brief example of a good trigger description alongside the frontmatter explanation to make step 2 more concrete.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

The body is lean and terse—short bullet points with no padding or explanation of concepts Claude already knows, matching the 'lean and efficient; every token earns its place' anchor.

5 / 5

Actionability

Concrete specifics are given (directory path .agents/skills, required SKILL.md, frontmatter fields, validation checklist items); not 5 because it instructs 'Provide a minimal starter template' without showing the actual template.

4 / 5

Workflow Clarity

A clear numbered 1-5 sequence guides the response; not 5 because some steps are compound (e.g. step 3 bundles template provision and a prompt) and no checkpoints are needed given the non-destructive explanatory nature.

4 / 5

Progressive Disclosure

A simple under-50-line skill with no external references needed; content is well-organized into five clearly labeled sections, meeting the simple-skill exception for a top score.

Description

67%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 is concise, third-person, and answers both what and when, with a clear distinct niche. Its main weakness is limited trigger-term coverage and only a single explicit trigger scenario.

Suggestions

Broaden the trigger clause to list concrete variations, e.g. 'when the user asks about creating, organizing, or maintaining skills, or mentions .agents/skills'.

Add synonymous natural terms (e.g. 'skill files', 'SKILL.md') to improve trigger keyword coverage.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Names the domain (skills) and several concrete actions ('create, organize, and maintain'), matching the 'lists several specific actions; minor gaps' anchor; not 5 because the verbs are generic and not comprehensive.

4 / 5

Completeness

Explicitly answers both 'what' (create, organize, maintain skills in .agents/skills) and 'when' (when the user asks about skills); capped below 5 because the trigger clause names only one scenario rather than concrete varied triggers.

4 / 5

Trigger Term Quality

The phrase 'when the user asks about skills' is a natural trigger, but keyword coverage is limited to the single term 'skills' with no synonyms or variations, fitting the 'some relevant keywords but missing common variations' anchor.

3 / 5

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

The meta-skill niche about skills themselves is mostly distinct with a specific trigger; not 5 because 'asks about skills' is broad enough to occasionally overlap with related tooling skills.
