Quality

Content

83%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 lean and highly actionable, dominated by copy-paste commands across all major features. Its main gap is the absence of explicit validation checkpoints and feedback loops for fragile multi-step operations like auth and daemon management.

Suggestions

Add validation steps after risky operations (e.g., run `mcporter auth <server>` then verify with a sample `mcporter call <server.tool>` before proceeding).

For daemon workflows, include a retry/feedback loop (check `daemon status`, restart on failure) rather than listing commands in isolation.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

The body is lean and example-driven with minimal prose, letting copy-paste commands carry the instruction; it assumes Claude's competence and every section earns its place.

5 / 5

Actionability

Nearly every line is an executable command covering list, call, auth, config, daemon, and code-generation cases, giving copy-paste ready guidance for the common scenarios.

5 / 5

Workflow Clarity

Sections are logically grouped by task, giving an implicit sequence, but there are no explicit validation checkpoints or feedback loops (e.g., verify auth succeeded, retry on daemon failure), which the rubric expects for multi-step operations.

3 / 5

Progressive Disclosure

A single well-organized file with clear section headers and concise per-task blocks; no bundle files are present, and the modest size does not demand external references, leaving only minor organization gaps.

Description

66%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 concise and names concrete actions within a clear niche, but it omits any explicit "Use when..." trigger guidance, which caps completeness. Adding a when-clause with natural trigger phrases would lift it.

Suggestions

Append a 'Use when...' clause naming natural trigger phrases (e.g., 'Use when you need to call or list MCP servers and tools from the terminal').

Include the spelled-out 'Model Context Protocol' term once so users who say the full name still match.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Names three concrete actions ("List, auth, and call") plus the target ("MCP servers/tools"), fitting the anchor for several specific actions with minor gaps; not a 5 because discovery/manage/generate actions from the body are absent.

4 / 5

Completeness

Has a clear "what" (list/auth/call MCP servers and tools) but provides no "Use when..." or equivalent explicit trigger guidance, which per the judging guidelines caps completeness at 3.

3 / 5

Trigger Term Quality

Includes solid keywords ("MCP", "servers", "tools", "terminal") a user would say, but misses some natural variations like "Model Context Protocol" and explicit phrases, so it stops at 4 rather than 5.

4 / 5

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

The MCP/terminal niche is fairly specific and unlikely to trigger for unrelated skills; minor overlap risk with general tooling skills keeps it at 4 rather than 5.
