Quality

Content

87%

Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.

The content is lean, highly actionable, and well-organized into a self-contained reference with executable commands. Its only notable gap is the lack of an explicit verification step around the destructive delete operation.

Suggestions

Add a verification checkpoint before deletion, e.g. confirm the selected note's title/content matches the user's intent before confirming the interactive delete prompt.

Consider noting a pre-export check (verify the chosen note and format) since export is a batch-prone operation.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

The body is a lean command reference with inline comments and no padding or re-explanation of concepts Claude already knows; every token earns its place, matching the lean-and-efficient anchor.

3 / 3

Actionability

It provides copy-paste-ready, executable commands (e.g. `memo notes -a "Note Title"`, `memo notes -ex`) with an install line and inline comments, matching the fully-executable anchor.

3 / 3

Workflow Clarity

Although it is a simple single-tool skill, it exposes a destructive operation (`memo notes -d`) without an explicit validation or verification checkpoint, which per the guidelines caps workflow clarity at 2.

2 / 3

Progressive Disclosure

No bundle files exist and the skill is self-contained, organized into clear sections (Prerequisites, When to Use/Not to Use, Quick Reference, Limitations, Rules), which per the simple-skill note merits a 3.

Description

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.

The description is concise and specific, naming a clear domain and three concrete actions with low conflict risk. Its main weakness is the missing explicit 'Use when…' trigger clause and limited keyword variation coverage.

Suggestions

Add an explicit trigger clause such as 'Use when the user wants to manage Apple Notes, create or search notes, or sync text across Apple devices.'

Broaden natural trigger terms to include variations like 'Notes.app', 'note', 'iPhone/iPad notes', 'folders', and 'export to Markdown/HTML'.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

"Manage Apple Notes via memo CLI: create, search, edit" lists three specific concrete actions over a named domain and tool, matching the anchor for multiple specific actions rather than the partial anchor.

3 / 3

Completeness

It clearly states what the skill does but lacks any "Use when…" or explicit trigger guidance, which per the guidelines caps completeness at 2.

2 / 3

Trigger Term Quality

Natural terms like "Apple Notes", "create", "search", and "edit" are present, but common variations ("note", "Notes.app", "iPhone notes", "folders", "export") are missing, so it matches the anchor for some-but-not-full keyword coverage.

2 / 3

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

"Apple Notes via memo CLI" carves a clear niche unlikely to trigger for the obsidian skill or memory tool, matching the distinct-niche anchor.
