Discovery
22%Based on the skill's description, can an agent find and select it at the right time? Clear, specific descriptions lead to better discovery.
This description is too terse and reads more like a section heading than a skill description. It lacks concrete details about what adding a glossary entry involves, provides no 'Use when...' guidance, and doesn't include enough trigger terms for reliable skill selection.
Suggestions
Expand the 'what' by describing specific actions such as 'Adds new term definitions to the project glossary, including term name, definition, and optional metadata'.
Add an explicit 'Use when...' clause, e.g., 'Use when the user wants to define a new term, add a glossary entry, update terminology, or mentions the glossary file'.
Include natural trigger term variations like 'define term', 'terminology', 'definition', 'glossary.md' to improve matching.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Specificity | The description mentions 'add entries to the glossary' which is a single vague action. It doesn't describe concrete capabilities like what a glossary entry consists of, what format is used, or what steps are involved. | 1 / 3 |
Completeness | The description only weakly addresses 'what' (adding glossary entries) and completely lacks any 'when' clause or explicit trigger guidance. Per the rubric, a missing 'Use when...' clause caps completeness at 2, and the 'what' is also weak, so this scores a 1. | 1 / 3 |
Trigger Term Quality | Contains 'glossary' and 'entries' which are relevant natural keywords a user might say. However, it misses variations like 'define term', 'add definition', 'terminology', or 'glossary file'. | 2 / 3 |
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk | The mention of 'glossary' provides some specificity that distinguishes it from generic documentation skills, but it could still overlap with other documentation or content management skills without clearer scoping. | 2 / 3 |
Total | 6 / 12 Passed |
Implementation
72%Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.
This is a concise, well-scoped skill that efficiently communicates the basics of adding glossary entries. Its main weakness is the lack of a concrete example showing what a complete glossary entry looks like, and it could benefit from a brief validation step (e.g., checking for duplicates or verifying link targets exist).
Suggestions
Add a concrete example of a well-formed glossary entry showing the expected heading format, definition style, implementation links, and cross-references.
Add a brief validation step such as checking for duplicate terms or verifying that linked files actually exist.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The content is lean and efficient. Every sentence provides actionable guidance without explaining what a glossary is or how markdown links work—things Claude already knows. | 3 / 3 |
Actionability | Provides concrete guidance on link syntax and cross-references, but lacks a specific example of a complete glossary entry (e.g., showing the expected format, heading style, or placement within the file). | 2 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | The task is relatively simple, but the steps are presented as a loose bullet list rather than a clear sequence. There's no mention of verifying the entry renders correctly or checking for duplicate entries. | 2 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | For this simple skill, the content is well-organized and includes a clear one-level-deep reference to the glossary file itself. No need for additional external references given the scope. | 3 / 3 |
Total | 10 / 12 Passed |
