Quality

Content

90%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 body is an exemplar of lean, executable guidance: concrete commands with real flags, explicit checkpoints, and security-critical details (never print the PAN, use --output-file). The only soft spots are the absence of an explicit error-recovery loop and the lack of any progressive-disclosure bundle despite a few sections that could be split out.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

Every section is commands, decision tables, gates, or non-obvious pitfalls; no concepts Claude already knows are explained, and there is no padding (e.g. "Wraps @stripe/link-cli so Hermes can complete purchases..." goes straight to what matters).

5 / 5

Actionability

Every step is a copy-paste-ready command with concrete flags (e.g. the full `link-cli spend-request create` invocation, `mpp decode --challenge`, `--output-file` for card retrieval), and the credential-type decision table covers the common merchant cases.

5 / 5

Workflow Clarity

A clear 7-step numbered sequence with an explicit auth gate ("Do not proceed past this step until `auth status` confirms login"), user confirmation before spending, and a Verification section, but no explicit error-recovery loop (e.g. what to do on retrieve failure or approval timeout), which matters for a money-moving workflow.

4 / 5

Progressive Disclosure

No bundle files exist and the body is well-sectioned, leaning on CLI-native discovery (`link-cli --llms-full`, `--schema`) instead of inlining reference material; minor gaps such as the optional MCP-server section that could live in a separate reference file.

Description

57%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 clearly names its niche, but it omits any 'use when' trigger guidance and lacks the natural phrases (buy, purchase, checkout) users would actually say. It is distinctive yet incomplete for skill-selection purposes.

Suggestions

Add an explicit trigger clause, e.g. "Use when the user asks to buy or pay for something, complete checkout, or handle an HTTP 402 with method=\"stripe\"".

Include natural trigger synonyms (buy, purchase, checkout, pay for) rather than only technical terms like SPT.

State concrete actions in verb form (create spend requests, retrieve one-time cards, approve purchases) to sharpen the 'what' beyond object nouns.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Names the domain ("Agent payments via Stripe Link") and specific mechanisms ("cards, SPT, approvals"), but these are objects rather than concrete actions, matching the 'names domain and 1-2 concrete actions, but not comprehensive' anchor.

3 / 5

Completeness

Has a clear 'what' (agent payments via Stripe Link with cards, SPT, and approvals) but no 'Use when...' clause or equivalent trigger guidance, which caps completeness at 3 per the judging guidelines.

3 / 5

Trigger Term Quality

Contains relevant keywords ("payments", "cards", "approvals", "Stripe Link") but no natural phrases a user would actually say ("buy", "purchase", "checkout", "pay for") and leans on jargon ("SPT"), so common variations are missing.

3 / 5

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

"Stripe Link" and "SPT" carve a distinct niche with minimal overlap risk against generic payment or card skills; the named product makes it unmistakable.
