Quality

Content

86%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.

The content is a lean, highly actionable quick reference with executable commands for every supported operation and clear organization; the only gap is a missing validation note around the destructive delete command.

Suggestions

Add a brief validation/confirmation note under Delete Notes (e.g., confirm the selected note title before confirming deletion, since delete is irreversible).

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

The body is efficient with copy-paste command blocks and no padding about what Apple Notes is, though the intro sentence and the Rules section lightly restate information already covered elsewhere.

4 / 5

Actionability

Every operation is given as an executable `memo` command with realistic flags (e.g., `memo notes -f "Folder Name"`, `memo notes -s "query"`), and the `-a` gotcha is explicitly clarified, covering the common cases.

5 / 5

Workflow Clarity

This is a simple single-CLI skill where each action is one unambiguous command, but the destructive `memo notes -d` delete operation lacks an explicit verify-before-delete checkpoint, leaving a minor validation gap.

4 / 5

Progressive Disclosure

The skill is single-purpose with well-organized sections (Prerequisites, When to Use, Quick Reference, Limitations, Rules) and no need for external bundle files, so the inline structure navigates cleanly.

Description

70%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.

The description is specific and distinct, naming the tool and core actions concisely, but it omits any explicit "when to use" trigger guidance, which limits its completeness score.

Suggestions

Append a "Use when..." clause (e.g., "Use when the user wants to create, search, or edit Apple Notes from the terminal") to raise completeness above 3.

Add one or two natural synonyms such as "Notes.app" or "iCloud notes" to broaden trigger-term coverage.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

"Manage Apple Notes via memo CLI: create, search, edit" names the domain and lists several concrete actions (create, search, edit), with only minor gaps such as delete/move/export not surfaced in the description.

4 / 5

Completeness

The description gives a clear "what" (manage Apple Notes via memo CLI) but contains no "Use when..." clause or explicit trigger guidance, which caps completeness at 3 per the rubric.

3 / 5

Trigger Term Quality

"Apple Notes" and the action verbs ("create, search, edit") are natural terms users would say, though synonyms like "Notes.app" or "iCloud notes" are absent.

4 / 5

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

"Apple Notes via memo CLI" carves out a clear, narrow niche that is unlikely to trigger for competing note skills such as Obsidian or Bear.
