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 how-to title than a skill description. It lacks concrete actions, explicit trigger guidance, and sufficient detail for Claude to confidently select this skill from a large pool. The narrow domain of 'glossary' provides some distinctiveness, but the description needs significant expansion.
Suggestions
Expand the 'what' by listing specific actions such as 'Add, update, or remove glossary entries, define terms with descriptions, and maintain alphabetical ordering in the glossary file.'
Add an explicit 'Use when...' clause with trigger terms like 'Use when the user asks to define a term, add a glossary entry, update terminology, or modify the glossary/definitions file.'
Rewrite in third person with concrete verbs (e.g., 'Manages glossary entries by adding new terms and definitions') rather than the current instructional phrasing.
| 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 | 'Glossary' is a somewhat specific domain, which helps distinguish it from generic documentation skills. However, it could overlap with skills related to documentation editing, content management, or dictionary/terminology tools. | 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 when and how to add glossary entries. Its main weakness is the lack of a concrete example showing a complete glossary entry (input/output), which would make it more actionable. The workflow could also benefit from explicit ordering guidance (e.g., alphabetical placement).
Suggestions
Add a concrete example of a complete glossary entry showing the expected markdown format, including a term definition with implementation links and cross-references.
Specify where in the glossary file new entries should be placed (e.g., alphabetical order) and how to verify links resolve correctly.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The content is lean and efficient. It doesn't explain what a glossary is or how markdown links work—it assumes Claude's competence and only provides project-specific guidance. | 3 / 3 |
Actionability | It provides some concrete guidance (link syntax, cross-reference syntax) but lacks a concrete example of a complete glossary entry showing the expected format, structure, or placement within the file. | 2 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | For a simple skill, the steps are listed but lack explicit sequencing (e.g., where exactly to place the entry in the glossary file, alphabetical ordering, or any validation step to confirm the entry was added correctly and links resolve). | 2 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | For a simple, short skill under 50 lines with a single task, the content is well-organized with a clear reference to the glossary file location. No external references are needed and none are unnecessarily added. | 3 / 3 |
Total | 10 / 12 Passed |
