Discovery
67%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 effectively communicates its role as a pre-coding analysis step with clear 'when' guidance using imperative language ('MUST run', 'Invoke this skill'). However, the capabilities listed are somewhat abstract rather than concrete actions, and the trigger terms may not match natural user language patterns. The description would benefit from more specific technical actions and user-oriented keywords.
Suggestions
Add more natural trigger terms users would say, such as 'new feature', 'implement', 'build', 'develop', 'start coding', or 'add functionality'
Make capabilities more concrete by specifying actions like 'scans codebase for existing patterns', 'identifies coding conventions from existing files', or 'maps dependencies'
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Specificity | Names the domain (code implementation) and lists some actions ('Classifies complexity, discovers local conventions, finds reusable patterns'), but these are somewhat abstract rather than concrete technical actions like 'analyzes AST' or 'scans directory structure'. | 2 / 3 |
Completeness | Clearly answers both what ('Classifies complexity, discovers local conventions, finds reusable patterns, and prevents blind coding') and when ('MUST run before any code implementation task', 'Invoke this skill before writing or modifying code') with explicit trigger guidance. | 3 / 3 |
Trigger Term Quality | Includes relevant terms like 'code implementation', 'writing or modifying code', but misses common user variations like 'new feature', 'build', 'develop', 'create function', or 'add code'. The terms are more process-oriented than user-language-oriented. | 2 / 3 |
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk | The pre-implementation/planning niche is somewhat distinct, but 'code implementation' and 'writing or modifying code' are broad enough to potentially conflict with coding skills, code review skills, or refactoring skills. | 2 / 3 |
Total | 9 / 12 Passed |
Implementation
92%Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.
This is a high-quality skill that provides clear, actionable guidance for pre-implementation discovery. The complexity gate system with scaled outputs is well-designed, and the workflow includes appropriate validation checkpoints. The only weakness is that the content could benefit from progressive disclosure by splitting detailed reference material into separate files.
Suggestions
Consider extracting the detailed checklists and discovery actions into a separate REFERENCE.md file, keeping SKILL.md as a concise overview with links to detailed guidance
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The skill is lean and efficient, assuming Claude's competence as a senior engineer. No unnecessary explanations of basic concepts; every section serves a clear purpose with minimal padding. | 3 / 3 |
Actionability | Provides concrete, specific guidance throughout: clear complexity classifications with exact criteria, specific discovery actions, explicit checklists, and actionable rules like 'use at least 2 analogous examples' for naming derivation. | 3 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | Multi-step workflow is clearly sequenced (Assess → Discover → Probe → Stop Rule → Output → Implement → Verify) with explicit validation checkpoints, confidence-based stopping criteria, and level-appropriate outputs. Includes feedback loop for re-evaluating complexity during discovery. | 3 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | Content is well-organized with clear sections and headers, but it's a monolithic document (~120 lines) that could benefit from splitting detailed sections (e.g., discovery actions, checklists) into separate reference files for complex workflows. | 2 / 3 |
Total | 11 / 12 Passed |
