Quality

Content

67%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.

A clear, actionable six-step workflow with explicit approval and verify checkpoints and concrete scaffolding commands. Its main weakness is verbosity — several steps are padded and the inline tech-stack list could be trimmed or externalized.

Suggestions

Tighten the Goal line and step 4/5 prose — drop filler like "Utilize all tools at your disposal" and "aim for full scope completion" so each token earns its place.

Extract the per-app-type tech-stack preference list from step 2 into a short table or a references/ file, keeping step 2 focused on the planning decision.

Make the Verify step a crisp checklist (build passes, no compile errors, placeholders resolved) with an explicit fix-and-rebuild loop rather than a prose paragraph.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

The body is mostly efficient but carries padding ("Utilize all tools at your disposal", "aim for full scope completion", and verbose placeholder-sourcing qualifications) and an inline tech-stack block that could be tightened.

3 / 5

Actionability

It gives concrete, executable guidance — specific scaffolding commands ("npm init", "npx create-react-app"), named tools, and per-app-type tech stacks — with only minor gaps keeping it from copy-paste readiness.

4 / 5

Workflow Clarity

Six steps are clearly sequenced with a User Approval checkpoint and a Verify/build step ("ensure there are no compile errors"), but the validation is somewhat implicit and buried rather than a crisp checklist.

4 / 5

Progressive Disclosure

As a self-contained skill under 50 lines with well-organized numbered steps and no need for external references, it is well-structured; the inlined tech-stack preference list is the only minor organization gap.

Description

88%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.

A strong, specific description that names the domain, lists concrete lifecycle actions, and pairs them with explicit, varied trigger phrases via the when_to_use field. It is clearly distinguishable and low in conflict risk.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

The description lists multiple concrete actions spanning the full lifecycle — "requirements gathering, tech stack selection, scaffolding, implementation, and delivery of a functional prototype" — giving comprehensive coverage rather than a single vague action.

5 / 5

Completeness

It explicitly answers both "what" (the description's workflow and phases) and "when" (the when_to_use field's concrete trigger phrases naming seven app types), satisfying the equivalent-trigger-guidance requirement.

5 / 5

Trigger Term Quality

The when_to_use field enumerates natural terms users say ("application, project, website, game, mobile app, CLI tool, or library"), giving good keyword coverage, though a few synonyms (e.g. "web app", "API", "program", "bot") are absent.

4 / 5

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

The "from scratch" greenfield-creation framing carves a clear niche distinct from edit/debug/refactor skills, with only minor overlap risk against general build-a-feature skills.
