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 a lean, fully executable style guide: ready-to-use CSS for every pattern, a numbered build recipe, taste rules for judgment calls, and a closing checklist for verification. It explains nothing Claude already knows and wastes no tokens.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

Every section is either directive guidance ('Keep depth directional: light from top, shadow below') or usable code; there is no explanation of concepts Claude already knows and no padded prose.

5 / 5

Actionability

Complete, copy-paste-ready CSS for tokens, raised surfaces, pressed states, embossed text/icons, and texture — the code covers the common cases directly with concrete values (e.g., 'transition 160ms to 240ms').

5 / 5

Workflow Clarity

The 'Surface Recipe' is a clearly numbered 7-step build sequence capped by a 'Quick Checks' verification checklist ('Raised state has a brighter top edge...'); no destructive or batch operations exist, so no validation cap applies.

5 / 5

Progressive Disclosure

A single self-contained file with well-labeled sections (Use When, Surface Recipe, Base Tokens, variants, Taste Rules, Quick Checks); no bundle files exist and none are needed, so nothing is buried or nested.

Description

88%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 with a comprehensive list of concrete capabilities and an explicit 'Use when' trigger clause. Its only notable weakness is that the natural keyword 'skeuomorphic' — the term a user is most likely to use when requesting this style — is absent from the description text.

Suggestions

Include the word 'skeuomorphic' (or 'skeuomorphism') in the description so the primary natural trigger term matches user requests.

Tighten the broad trigger words 'realistic' and 'premium' (e.g., 'premium hardware-like') to reduce overlap with general UI-styling skills.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

The description enumerates five concrete techniques — 'layered gradients, stacked inner and outer shadows, reflective gradient borders, micro texture, and embossed text or icon details' — giving comprehensive coverage of what the skill does with no generic filler.

5 / 5

Completeness

It explicitly answers both questions: 'Create skeuomorphic web UI surfaces with...' (what) and 'Use when asked for...' (when) with concrete trigger phrases, matching the top anchor exactly.

5 / 5

Trigger Term Quality

Trigger phrase 'Use when asked for pressed, carved, tactile, realistic, soft-plastic, soft-metal, or premium physical interface styling' offers many natural synonyms, but omits the most natural term of all — 'skeuomorphic' itself — which a user would most likely say.

4 / 5

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

The tactile/physical-styling niche is distinct with triggers like 'pressed, carved, soft-plastic', but 'realistic' and 'premium' are broadly matchable and could pull in general UI-styling skills, leaving minor overlap risk.
