Quality

Content

75%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.

A well-structured, comprehensive ideation skill with clear workflows, tables, and self-checks. It is slightly long for a single SKILL.md and could benefit from offloading detailed frameworks to reference files.

Suggestions

Move the detailed per-framework tables (e.g., tension pairs, source-field mappings) into reference files and keep SKILL.md as a concise overview with one-level-deep links.

Trim introductory rationale paragraphs that restate the framework's motivation where the heading already conveys the point.

Add a brief quick-start at the top so agents can begin with the Framework Selection Guide before reading all ten frameworks.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

Mostly efficient prose that assumes reader competence and avoids explaining basics Claude already knows, though some framing paragraphs and repeated rationale could be trimmed.

4 / 5

Actionability

Provides concrete numbered workflows, tables of specific tensions, and self-check checklists that are actionable, though as an ideation skill the guidance is procedural rather than executable code.

4 / 5

Workflow Clarity

Clear sequenced workflows (Diverge/Converge/Refine) with self-check checkpoints and completion checklists, though validation is self-administered rather than automated.

4 / 5

Progressive Disclosure

Well-organized with clear section headers and a single self-contained file, but the ten-framework content is long and could be split into reference files with the SKILL.md acting as an overview.

Description

83%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.

A strong description that clearly states the skill's purpose and provides explicit 'Use when' triggers with concrete scenarios. It uses correct third-person voice and avoids vague fluff.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Lists concrete actions ('structured ideation frameworks', 'discover high-impact research directions') and names the domain clearly, but offers fewer discrete enumerated actions than a level-5 example.

4 / 5

Completeness

Explicitly answers both what ('Guides researchers through structured ideation frameworks to discover high-impact research directions') and when ('Use when exploring new problem spaces, pivoting between projects, or seeking novel angles on existing work') with concrete trigger phrases.

5 / 5

Trigger Term Quality

Includes natural phrases users would say ('exploring new problem spaces', 'pivoting between projects', 'novel angles on existing work'), but misses some common synonyms like 'research brainstorming' or 'idea generation'.

4 / 5

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

The research-ideation niche is fairly distinct with clear triggers, but the broad framing could occasionally overlap with general planning or literature-review skills.
