cavecrew

When to delegate to `cavecrew-investigator` (locate code), `cavecrew-builder` (1-2 file edit) or `cavecrew-reviewer` (diff review) instead of working inline or using `Explore`. Their output is compressed, so main context lasts longer.

Quality

Content

92%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, highly actionable routing guide: concrete decision table, exact output contracts, sequenced chaining patterns with validation, and a specific anti-pattern list. Its only weakness is slight redundancy between the intro and the "Why this exists" section.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

The routing table, compact output-contract blocks, and terse anti-pattern list are token-efficient and assume Claude's competence, but the "Why this exists" section partially restates the intro's already-stated point ("difference is the tool-result they return is compressed" vs "returns 2k tokens of prose costs 2k tokens of main-context budget"). Minor redundancy that could be trimmed — matching anchor 4 rather than 5.

4 / 5

Actionability

Provides a task→agent routing table, exact copy-parseable output-contract formats for each preset, three named chaining patterns with numbered steps, and a one-line decision rule ("if you'd want the subagent's output in 1/3 the tokens, pick cavecrew"). For an instruction-only skill this is fully actionable guidance covering the common cases.

5 / 5

Workflow Clarity

Chaining patterns are clearly sequenced (locate → fix → verify) with explicit validation checkpoints woven in: the builder's `verified: <re-read OK | mismatch @ path:line>` feedback field, the reviewer audit step, and the rule to spot-check absence claims and cited line numbers before acting. Not a destructive/batch skill, so no validation cap applies.

5 / 5

Progressive Disclosure

No bundle files exist (references/, scripts/, assets/ are all absent) and none are needed: every section — routing table, contracts, patterns, anti-patterns — appropriately lives inline in a single well-organized ~70-line file with clear headers and easy navigation, and there are no dangling external references.

Description

83%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.

A strong description: third-person, concrete, and explicitly framed around when to delegate, with clear contrast against vanilla alternatives. Its main gaps are missing natural user-phrase synonyms and a 'when' clause that is comparative rather than trigger-phrase-based.

Suggestions

Add natural user-facing trigger variations such as "where is X defined", "find usages", or "code review" to broaden keyword coverage beyond the terse labels "locate code" and "diff review".

Reframe the 'when' guidance with concrete user triggers, e.g. "Use when the user asks to locate code, make a small surgical edit, or review a diff/branch".

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Names three concrete, scope-qualified actions — "locate code", "1-2 file edit", "diff review" — one per preset, plus the distinguishing property "Their output is compressed". This is comprehensive coverage for a delegation-routing skill, matching the anchor for multiple specific concrete actions; it is above anchor 4 because no capability is left vague or missing.

5 / 5

Completeness

Explicitly answers both: the what ("delegate to `cavecrew-investigator` (locate code), `cavecrew-builder` (1-2 file edit) or `cavecrew-reviewer` (diff review)... output is compressed") and the when ("When to delegate to... instead of working inline or using `Explore`"). It is above anchor 4's floor because the when-clause is explicit, but below anchor 5 because the 'when' is framed comparatively rather than with concrete user trigger phrases.

4 / 5

Trigger Term Quality

Includes good task-relevant keywords ("locate code", "1-2 file edit", "diff review") and contrast terms ("working inline", "Explore"), but misses common natural variations a user would say, such as "where is X defined", "find usages", "code review", or "review this diff". This sits between anchor 3 (missing variations) and anchor 5 (full synonym coverage).

4 / 5

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

Names three specific presets and explicitly demarcates them from alternatives ("instead of working inline or using `Explore`"), establishing a clear niche with minimal conflict risk — it can only trigger when a cavecrew agent is the candidate tool.
