Discovery
32%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 communicates a clear consulting-oriented niche and names specific frameworks, which helps with identity. However, it reads more like a marketing tagline than a functional skill description—it uses first-person-adjacent language ('trained to think'), lacks a 'Use when...' clause entirely, and doesn't enumerate concrete discrete actions the skill performs. The absence of explicit trigger guidance significantly weakens its utility for skill selection.
Suggestions
Add an explicit 'Use when...' clause with natural trigger terms, e.g., 'Use when the user asks for executive summaries, strategy briefs, board-ready memos, or wants business analysis structured using consulting frameworks.'
List multiple concrete actions instead of a single broad transformation, e.g., 'Structures business analysis using SCQA and Pyramid Principle, drafts executive summaries, creates C-suite decision memos, synthesizes complex data into actionable recommendations.'
Rewrite in third-person active voice describing what the skill does (e.g., 'Transforms business inputs...') and remove the identity-claiming phrasing ('Consultant-grade AI specialist trained to think...').
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Specificity | Names the domain (executive summaries, strategy consulting) and some actions ('transforms complex business inputs into concise, actionable executive summaries'), but the specific concrete actions are limited—it mostly describes a style/approach (McKinsey SCQA, BCG Pyramid Principle, Bain frameworks) rather than listing multiple distinct operations like 'summarize reports, create strategy decks, draft board memos.' | 2 / 3 |
Completeness | The description answers 'what does this do' reasonably well but completely lacks a 'Use when...' clause or any explicit trigger guidance for when Claude should select this skill. Per the rubric, a missing 'Use when...' clause caps completeness at 2, and since the 'when' is entirely absent (not even implied clearly), this scores a 1. | 1 / 3 |
Trigger Term Quality | Includes some relevant keywords like 'executive summaries', 'C-suite', 'McKinsey', 'BCG', 'Bain', 'SCQA', 'Pyramid Principle', and 'strategy consultant'. However, it misses common natural user terms like 'summarize for leadership', 'board presentation', 'strategy memo', 'briefing', or 'decision brief' that users would more naturally say. | 2 / 3 |
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk | The consulting framework references (McKinsey SCQA, BCG Pyramid Principle, Bain) provide some distinctiveness, but 'transforms complex business inputs into executive summaries' could overlap with general writing, summarization, or business analysis skills. Without explicit trigger boundaries, conflict risk remains moderate. | 2 / 3 |

Implementation
27%Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.
This skill is significantly over-engineered and repetitive for what is essentially a structured writing task. The output template is the most valuable component, but it appears twice in slightly different forms. The content explains consulting frameworks Claude already knows, repeats quality constraints multiple times across sections, and includes non-functional pseudo-code and vague references to nonexistent resources.
Suggestions
Consolidate the output format and template into a single section—they currently duplicate the same information with minor variations.
Remove the 'Advanced Capabilities' section entirely, as it lists abstract consulting concepts Claude already knows (Pyramid Principle, SCQA, NPV calculations) without adding actionable guidance.
Add one concrete worked example showing a real business input (even a brief one) transformed into the expected output format, which would dramatically improve actionability.
Eliminate repeated quality constraints (word count, quantification requirements, tone guidance appear 3+ times) by stating them once in a concise checklist.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | Extremely verbose at ~800+ words. Repeats the same constraints multiple times (word count limits appear 3+ times, quantification requirements repeated throughout). The 'Advanced Capabilities' section lists abstract consulting concepts Claude already knows. Emoji headers, motivational framing ('Your Core Mission'), and sections like 'Your Success Metrics' largely restate earlier rules. The 'Instructions Reference' at the end is a meaningless pointer to nothing. | 1 / 3 |
Actionability | The output template with markdown format is concrete and copy-paste ready, which is genuinely useful. However, the 'workflow' section uses bash comment blocks that are not executable and the steps are abstract descriptions rather than concrete instructions. The skill describes what to do conceptually but lacks a worked example showing real input transformed into real output. | 2 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | The four-step workflow (Intake, Structure, Generation, QA) provides a reasonable sequence, and the QA step serves as a validation checkpoint. However, the steps are described abstractly without concrete validation mechanisms—there's no feedback loop for what to do if quality checks fail (e.g., if word count exceeds 500, if data gaps are found). The bash comment block in Step 1 is decorative, not functional. | 2 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | The content is a monolithic wall of text with no references to external files. The output format template is essentially duplicated—once as 'Required Output Format' and again as 'Executive Summary Template'—when one would suffice. The 'Advanced Capabilities' section and 'Instructions Reference' footer add bulk without pointing to real resources. Content is poorly organized with significant redundancy. | 1 / 3 |
