Quality

Content

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 highly actionable, clearly sequenced onboarding flow with concrete code and gated checks throughout. Its main weaknesses are duplicated pref-merge scripts and a monolithic structure with no progressive disclosure of its own detail into reference files.

Suggestions

Deduplicate the prefs-merge Python block by defining it once (e.g. a single script under scripts/ or a shared snippet) and invoking it from the --skip and Step 6 paths.

Move the stable command quick-reference table and prefs.json schema into a references/ file (e.g. references/COMMANDS.md) and link to it from the body to reduce inline bulk.

Dimension	Reasoning	Score
Conciseness	The body assumes Claude's competence with no concept fluff, but the prefs-merge Python block is duplicated near-verbatim in the --skip path and twice in Step 6, which could be tightened; this keeps it at level 2 rather than the lean level 3.	2 / 3
Actionability	Every step provides concrete, copy-paste-ready guidance: exact bash checks, Python pref-merge scripts, full AskUserQuestion JSON payloads, and a precise 'gh api -X PUT /user/starred/Q00/ouroboros' command, matching the fully-executable level 3 anchor.	3 / 3
Workflow Clarity	The flow is explicitly sequenced (Pre-Check, Steps 1-6, Completion) with gated checkpoints (welcomeCompleted/legacy welcomeShown, MCP_OK/MCP_MISSING, GH_OK/GH_MISSING) driving clear branching; being non-destructive, the missing validate-fix-retry loop is not penalized.	3 / 3
Progressive Disclosure	Sections are well-organized and cross-skill hand-offs (e.g. 'Execute skills/interview/SKILL.md') are clearly signaled, but it is a monolithic ~360-line single file with no bundle files and inline content (command table, prefs schema) that could be split out, so it stops at level 2.	2 / 3

Description

40%

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 identifies the right audience and niche but is too abstract and lacks concrete actions plus an explicit 'Use when' trigger. It reads as a label rather than a trigger-rich capability statement.

Suggestions

Add an explicit trigger clause, e.g. 'Use when a new user is onboarding to Ouroboros, asks to get started, or runs /ouroboros:welcome for the first time.'

Replace 'First-touch experience' with concrete actions such as 'Runs interactive onboarding: persona detection, MCP setup, command quick-reference, and first-action routing.'

Include natural trigger terms users would actually say ('getting started', 'onboarding', 'welcome', 'set up Ouroboros').

Dimension	Reasoning	Score
Specificity	The description 'First-touch experience for new Ouroboros users' names only an abstract concept and no concrete actions, matching the vague/abstract anchor; it does not reach level 2 because no specific actions are listed.	1 / 3
Completeness	It gives a soft 'what' (a first-touch experience) and an implied 'when' (for new users), but lacks any explicit 'Use when...' trigger clause, which per the guidelines caps completeness at 2 rather than 3.	2 / 3
Trigger Term Quality	'new Ouroboros users' is a moderately natural audience phrase, but 'first-touch experience' is jargon a user would not say, and common variations like 'onboarding', 'getting started', or 'welcome' are missing, so it does not reach level 3.	2 / 3
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk	Tying it to 'new Ouroboros users' carves a niche, but the weak, jargon-laden triggers mean it could still overlap with general onboarding/getting-started skills, so it falls short of the clear-distinct-trigger level 3.	2 / 3
