Quality

Content

71%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 a well-structured router skill with excellent progressive disclosure (overview + resource table + one-level-deep references that all exist on disk) and a clearly sequenced, validation-gated packaging workflow. It is slightly padded in its mission framing and emoji-example sections.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

Mostly efficient and well-organized, but includes a few padded sections (the motivational Mission paragraph, the emoji-conversation example, and an explicit 'Version/Last Updated' line) that could be tightened; not severely verbose but not lean.

3 / 5

Actionability

Provides concrete, executable routing guidance with specific file paths and commands (e.g. 'run scripts/summon.py', 'scripts/rebuild-index.sh regenerates agents/INDEX.md'), with only minor gaps in the exact invocation details.

4 / 5

Workflow Clarity

The 6-step workflow is clearly sequenced and includes a validation-anchored packaging workflow (referencing file-operations.md) plus a self-check reference, with explicit 'you MUST complete the full packaging workflow' gating; minor validation detail is delegated to the referenced file rather than inline.

4 / 5

Progressive Disclosure

Clear overview SKILL.md pointing to a well-signaled one-level-deep reference set, with a Resources table mapping each reference file to when-to-load and what-it-contains; all referenced files (file-operations.md, summon-agent-protocol.md, convener-protocol.md, etc.) exist in ./references/ and scripts in ./scripts/.

Description

86%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 well-formed with explicit 'Use when...' triggers, concrete trigger phrases, and a clear what/when pair, though it has minor distinctiveness overlap risk from broad help-seeking phrasings. It uses correct third-person voice throughout.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Names the domain ('expert help', 'specialist') and one concrete action ('Creates and manages a growing collection of expert agents') but the actions are high-level and not comprehensive, fitting the 'names domain and 1-2 concrete actions' anchor.

3 / 5

Completeness

Explicitly answers both 'what' ('Creates and manages a growing collection of expert agents') and 'when' ('Use when user needs expert help...') with concrete trigger phrases, matching the top anchor exactly.

5 / 5

Trigger Term Quality

Comprehensive natural trigger phrases users would actually say ('help me with', 'I need guidance', 'needs expert help') plus the 'summon a specialist' synonym, matching the 'comprehensive coverage of natural terms' anchor.

5 / 5

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

The 'summon a specialist' / 'collection of expert agents' niche is fairly distinct, but 'help me with' / 'I need guidance' are broad phrasings that could overlap with general assistance skills, so minor overlap risk keeps it just below 5.
