tool-evaluator

Creates structured software and platform evaluation reports with weighted scoring matrices, TCO analysis, and adoption recommendations. Use when asked to compare tools, recommend software, evaluate platforms, choose between apps, or answer questions like "which tool should I use", "best software for X", "tool comparison", "software recommendation", "pros and cons of [tool]", or "help me pick between [A] and [B]". Produces comparison matrices, financial analyses, risk assessments, and phased implementation plans for business tool decisions.

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

This is a strong, well-structured skill that provides highly actionable evaluation frameworks with concrete scoring formulas, clear workflow sequencing with decision gates, and appropriate progressive disclosure via TEMPLATE.md. The main weakness is minor verbosity in the workflow steps where some guidance is somewhat generic and could be tightened, but overall the content earns its token budget well.

Dimension	Reasoning	Score
Conciseness	The content is mostly efficient with well-structured tables and formulas, but includes some unnecessary elaboration (e.g., the full workflow steps contain guidance Claude could infer, and some phrasing like 'from market research and stakeholder input' is filler). The scoring rules table is admirably dense, though.	2 / 3
Actionability	Provides concrete scoring formulas, specific thresholds (e.g., response time brackets), a precise TCO formula, boolean security checklists, and explicit decision gates. The criteria table with weights and scoring rules is directly executable for producing evaluations.	3 / 3
Workflow Clarity	Clear 4-step workflow with explicit decision gates (security fail → halt ranking; top-two within 5% → differentiation testing), validation checkpoints, and a phased rollout with feedback loops. The sequence is logical and includes error recovery paths.	3 / 3
Progressive Disclosure	The skill provides a clear overview with core criteria and workflow inline, then appropriately references TEMPLATE.md for the full report structure. This is a clean one-level-deep reference pattern with well-signaled navigation.	3 / 3

Description

100%

Based on the skill's description, can an agent find and select it at the right time? Clear, specific descriptions lead to better discovery.

This is an excellent skill description that hits all the marks. It provides specific concrete deliverables, includes an extensive and natural set of trigger phrases in an explicit 'Use when' clause, and carves out a clear niche around software/tool evaluation that distinguishes it from other skills. The description is comprehensive without being unnecessarily verbose.

Dimension	Reasoning	Score
Specificity	Lists multiple specific concrete actions: 'weighted scoring matrices', 'TCO analysis', 'adoption recommendations', 'comparison matrices', 'financial analyses', 'risk assessments', and 'phased implementation plans'. These are detailed, concrete deliverables.	3 / 3
Completeness	Clearly answers both 'what' (creates structured evaluation reports with scoring matrices, TCO analysis, risk assessments, implementation plans) and 'when' (explicit 'Use when' clause with extensive trigger phrases and scenarios).	3 / 3
Trigger Term Quality	Excellent coverage of natural user phrases: 'compare tools', 'recommend software', 'evaluate platforms', 'choose between apps', 'which tool should I use', 'best software for X', 'tool comparison', 'software recommendation', 'pros and cons of [tool]', 'help me pick between [A] and [B]'. These are highly natural phrases users would actually say.	3 / 3
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk	Clearly scoped to software/platform/tool evaluation and comparison decisions. The specific focus on business tool selection with structured deliverables like TCO analysis and scoring matrices makes it highly distinct and unlikely to conflict with general analysis or reporting skills.	3 / 3
