Quality

Content

100%Scale 1-3

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

This is an excellent skill that embodies its own philosophy — it's concise, actionable, and well-structured. The rules are specific and concrete with clear examples, the persistence/exit conditions are explicit, and the auto-clarity exception for safety-critical situations shows thoughtful design. The skill demonstrates strong awareness of edge cases (destructive operations, ambiguous sequences) without bloating the content.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

The skill practices what it preaches — it's extremely lean, uses fragments, and every token serves a purpose. No unnecessary explanations of what caveman mode is conceptually; it jumps straight to rules and examples.

3 / 3

Actionability

Provides concrete rules (drop articles, use abbreviations, specific pattern), exact before/after examples with realistic prompts and responses, and clear trigger/exit conditions. Claude knows exactly what to do.

3 / 3

Workflow Clarity

For a behavioral/communication skill, the workflow is clear: trigger conditions, persistence rules, specific transformation rules, and an explicit auto-clarity exception with a concrete example of when to temporarily break the pattern. The sequence is unambiguous.

3 / 3

Progressive Disclosure

This is a simple, single-purpose skill under 50 lines with no need for external references. Content is well-organized into logical sections (Persistence, Rules, Examples, Auto-Clarity Exception) with clear headers.

Description

100%Scale 1-3

Based on the skill's description, can an agent find and select it at the right time? Clear, specific descriptions lead to better discovery.

This is an excellent skill description that concisely communicates what the skill does (compressed communication style), how it works (drops filler/articles/pleasantries), and when to use it (with a comprehensive list of natural trigger phrases). It uses third person voice appropriately and is distinctive enough to avoid conflicts with other skills.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Lists specific concrete actions: 'Cuts token usage ~75%', 'dropping filler, articles, and pleasantries', 'keeping full technical accuracy'. These are clear, measurable behaviors.

3 / 3

Completeness

Clearly answers both what ('Ultra-compressed communication mode that cuts token usage ~75% by dropping filler, articles, and pleasantries') and when ('Use when user says "caveman mode", "talk like caveman"...') with explicit trigger guidance.

3 / 3

Trigger Term Quality

Excellent coverage of natural trigger terms: 'caveman mode', 'talk like caveman', 'use caveman', 'less tokens', 'be brief', '/caveman'. These are exactly what users would naturally say.

3 / 3

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

Highly distinctive niche — a communication style modifier with unique trigger terms like 'caveman mode' and '/caveman' that are unlikely to conflict with any other skill.
