Quality

Content

100%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 exemplary: terse, behavior-only prose with concrete Bad/Good contrasts, an explicit pre-send checklist, and clean section organization. Nothing is padded, nothing is missing for its single purpose, and it assumes Claude's competence throughout.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

Every line prescribes behavior ("One term per thing", "Flavor character? Cut.") with zero padding and no explanation of concepts Claude already knows — the body even warns against over-claiming savings ("Token savings are small and noisy; never claim them"). Clearly the 5 anchor: lean, assumes competence, every token earns its place.

5 / 5

Actionability

Concrete Bad/Good example pairs for each rule (e.g., "Bad: '以記憶化鉤子包之。' Good: '以 `useMemo` 包之。'") plus an explicit particle inventory (之, 乃, 為, 其, 則, 故, 以) make the style guidance directly executable. For an instruction-only skill, guidance is fully concrete and covers the common cases.

5 / 5

Workflow Clarity

A single-purpose per-response behavior that is unambiguous, with an explicit validation checklist ("Pre-send check: Identifiers verbatim, original script? Negations present? Two readings? 白話.") and enumerated break-the-rules conditions (security warning, irreversible action, ambiguity, user confusion). The simple-skill exception applies and no destructive/batch operations require further loops.

5 / 5

Progressive Disclosure

Roughly 40 lines of well-organized sections (Persistence, Floor, Rules, When to break the rules, Pre-send check) with no external references needed and none dangling — the under-50-lines simple-skill case where well-organized sections alone merit a 5.

Description

87%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 strong: it states the mode's concrete behaviors, gives explicit invocation triggers, and carves out a distinct niche. The only weaknesses are minor — a few natural synonyms and one or two behaviors (fallback rules) are not mentioned.

Suggestions

Mention the 白話 fallback for ambiguous clauses and the never-translate floor (code, commands, error strings) in the description to close the specificity gap.

Add one or two natural synonyms (e.g., '文言', 'ancient Chinese', 'terse') so users' phrasing variations still match the trigger terms.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

"文言文 register, far fewer characters, technical terms verbatim" plus "Stays on until 'stop caveman' or 'normal mode'" list several concrete behaviors of the mode, but coverage has minor gaps (e.g., the 白話 fallback for ambiguous clauses and the never-translate floor are absent). Not 5 because the action list is not fully comprehensive; not 3 because it goes well beyond 1-2 generic actions.

4 / 5

Completeness

Explicitly answers what ("文言文 register, far fewer characters, technical terms verbatim") and when/how to invoke ("Invoke only with /megacave or /caveman wenyan") with concrete trigger commands and session-end conditions ("Stays on until 'stop caveman' or 'normal mode'"). Both halves are explicit and concrete, matching the 5 anchor.

5 / 5

Trigger Term Quality

"Caveman", "Classical Chinese", "文言文", and "/caveman wenyan" are natural terms a user wanting this mode would say, but common synonyms like "文言", "ancient Chinese", or "terse" are missing. Not 5 due to missing variations; not 3 because keyword coverage is good, not just some relevant terms.

4 / 5

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

"Caveman in Classical Chinese" with slash-command-only invocation is a clear niche no other skill occupies; conflict risk is minimal. Clearly matches the 5 anchor (clear niche with distinct triggers).
