nemotron-add-step

Add a new step under src/nemotron/steps/<category>/<step_id>/ — manifest (step.toml), runner glue, configs, and per-step README.md. Use when extending the catalog so /nemotron-customize can route to it.

Quality

Content

81%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.

A tightly structured, highly actionable workflow skill with an exemplary validation feedback loop and clear phase sequencing. Its main gaps are minor redundancy between the Workflow and Boundaries sections and the absence of a full step.toml template.

Suggestions

Add a minimal filled-in step.toml example block so contributors have a copy-paste starter instead of only a field checklist.

De-duplicate the Boundaries Do/Don't section against the Generate phase rules to recover token budget.

Resolve the README.md mismatch: the description promises a per-step README.md but the Generate phase never creates one — either add it to the file list or drop the claim.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

Mostly lean checklist-and-bullet directives that assume Claude's competence, but the Boundaries Do/Don't lists restate generation rules already covered in the Workflow phase and could be trimmed.

4 / 5

Actionability

Concrete commands ('uv run pytest tests/steps -q'), exact paths, enumerated schema fields, and two worked transcripts give actionable guidance; the gap is that step.toml is specified as a field checklist rather than a copy-paste template.

4 / 5

Workflow Clarity

A clear four-phase sequence (Orient → Generate → Validate → Summarize) with an explicit validate→fix→re-run feedback loop and a two-failure escape hatch, plus checklists for inputs, generation rules, and the summary.

5 / 5

Progressive Disclosure

Well-organized single file with clear section headers that points to live repo example files rather than nesting documents; some detailed schema/generation lists could be externalized but the structure navigates well.

Description

78%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 specific, well-triggered description that clearly names the deliverables and use context for a niche internal skill. It would benefit from replacing jargon ('runner glue', 'route to it') with concrete, user-natural phrasing and reconciling the README.md promise with the body.

Suggestions

Replace 'runner glue' with a concrete artifact name (e.g. 'step.py runner') so the deliverable is unambiguous.

Make the 'Use when' trigger use natural contributor phrasing such as 'Use when adding a new step to the nemotron-customize library' instead of 'extending the catalog so /nemotron-customize can route to it'.

Reconcile the 'per-step README.md' promise with the body, which never creates a README — either add it to the Generate phase or drop it from the description.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Lists multiple concrete deliverables ('manifest (step.toml), runner glue, configs, and per-step README.md'), but 'runner glue' is abstract and it omits the types.toml edits the body treats as a core deliverable.

4 / 5

Completeness

Explicitly answers both 'what' (artifacts created under the step path) and 'when' ('Use when extending the catalog so /nemotron-customize can route to it'), but the 'when' leans on internal terminology rather than natural trigger phrases.

4 / 5

Trigger Term Quality

Good keyword coverage with 'Add a new step', step.toml, README.md, 'catalog', and '/nemotron-customize'; a few natural user synonyms are missing and 'route to it' is internal jargon.

4 / 5

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

Scoped tightly to the nemotron step catalog with path- and command-specific triggers, giving it a clear niche with minimal overlap risk against other skills.
