Quality

Content

85%

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

The content is a well-sequenced, actionable analytical workflow with strong reference tables and a clear output template. Minor conciseness gains are possible but the skill is otherwise strong across dimensions.

Dimension	Reasoning	Score
Conciseness	The body is mostly lean reference material (magic-number tables, paired-call patterns) that earns its tokens, but a few lines state the obvious (e.g. 'Strings used in the function may reveal its purpose') and the annotated pseudocode blocks could be tightened.	2 / 3
Actionability	Guidance is concrete and actionable: exact file paths to check (imports.txt, exports.txt, strings.txt), specific magic constants, concrete web-search query templates, and a copy-ready output format — fully actionable for an instruction-only skill.	3 / 3
Workflow Clarity	A clear sequence (Pre-check → Step 1 internal characteristics → Step 2 cross-references → Step 3 gather + search → Output) with the output's confidence/reasoning fields acting as a self-check; this is read-only analysis so destructive-operation validation is not required.	3 / 3
Progressive Disclosure	No bundle files exist and none are needed; the single SKILL.md is organized into well-labeled sections (Pre-check, Export Structure, File Format, Steps, Output) with no nested references, satisfying the simple-skill allowance for a self-contained reference.	3 / 3

Description

67%

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 specific and occupies a clear niche, but it omits explicit 'when to use' trigger guidance and leans on technical jargon over natural user phrasing. Adding a Use-when clause with common trigger terms would raise completeness and trigger-term quality.

Suggestions

Add an explicit trigger clause, e.g. 'Use when recovering or renaming function names in stripped binaries, or when the user asks what sub_XXXX functions do.'

Include natural user phrasings alongside technical terms (e.g. 'rename functions', 'identify sub_ functions', 'recover symbol names').

Keep the concrete method list but ensure the description answers both 'what' and 'when' in a single concise sentence.

Dimension	Reasoning	Score
Specificity	Lists multiple concrete actions: 'Restore function symbols' plus the methods 'analyzing code patterns, strings, constants, and cross-references', matching the 'Lists multiple specific concrete actions' anchor.	3 / 3
Completeness	It clearly states what the skill does but lacks any 'Use when...' clause or equivalent explicit trigger guidance, which per the judging guidelines caps completeness at 2.	2 / 3
Trigger Term Quality	Terms like 'function symbols' and 'cross-references' are relevant but somewhat technical; common user phrasings such as 'rename functions' or 'figure out what this function does' are missing, so it sits at 'some relevant keywords but missing common variations'.	2 / 3
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk	The reverse-engineering symbol-recovery niche is specific and clearly distinct from other skills, making it unlikely to trigger for the wrong skill.	3 / 3
