Quality

Content

100%

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

The body is a tight, actionable command reference with executable examples and clean sectioning that assumes Claude's competence and avoids concept bloat. It is already strong; the only minor gap is the absence of explicit validation guidance for potentially state-changing operations like config edits or OAuth reset.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

Lean and command-driven with no concept padding (it doesn't belabor what MCP is or how libraries work); every code block and line earns its place, matching the score-3 anchor.

3 / 3

Actionability

Provides concrete, copy-paste-ready commands with real flags and example arguments throughout (e.g. `mcporter call linear.list_issues team=ENG limit:5` and `--args '{"limit": 5}'`), fitting the fully-executable score-3 anchor.

3 / 3

Workflow Clarity

As a command-reference skill, single actions are unambiguous and grouped logically by task area (Quick Start, Calling Tools, Auth/Config, Daemon, Code Generation), and the Notes add operational guidance; per the simple-skill guidance this satisfies workflow clarity.

3 / 3

Progressive Disclosure

No bundle files exist, and the single SKILL.md is a well-organized overview with clearly labeled, navigable sections; per the scoring notes a simple well-structured skill can score 3 without external references.

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 specific and distinctive, cleanly scoping the mcporter CLI's capabilities, but lacks an explicit "Use when..." trigger clause and leans on technical jargon over natural user phrasings. Adding a trigger clause with everyday terms would raise completeness and trigger-term quality.

Suggestions

Append an explicit trigger clause, e.g. "Use when you need to call or manage MCP servers/tools from the terminal, or when the user mentions MCP, Model Context Protocol, or connecting to an MCP server."

Soften jargon with natural variations users actually say ("run an MCP tool", "connect to an MCP server from the command line") alongside "stdio" and "ad-hoc servers".

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Lists multiple concrete actions — "list, configure, auth, and call" plus "ad-hoc servers, config edits, and CLI/type generation" — matching the score-3 anchor for several specific concrete actions; not merely naming a domain.

3 / 3

Completeness

It clearly states what the skill does but omits an explicit "Use when..." trigger clause, so the "when" is only implied — the guidelines cap completeness at 2 in that case.

2 / 3

Trigger Term Quality

Relevant keywords (MCP servers/tools, list, configure, auth, CLI/type generation) are present but lean technical/jargon-heavy ("stdio", "ad-hoc servers") and lack common natural variations, fitting the score-2 anchor rather than broad natural-term coverage.

2 / 3

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

Tightly scoped to MCP server/tool management via the mcporter CLI, a clear niche with distinct triggers unlikely to collide with other skills.
