Quality

Content

100%

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

The body is concise, actionable, and well-sequenced with explicit validation and error-recovery guidance, making effective use of a single bundle script. It is a strong, copy-paste-ready skill with no significant weaknesses.

Dimension	Reasoning	Score
Conciseness	Lean body with no over-explanation of concepts Claude already knows; uses compact tables, code blocks, and brief steps where every token earns its place.	3 / 3
Actionability	Provides fully executable guidance — the `rss-reader <feed_url> [--limit N] [--skip ...]` command, concrete common paths to probe, exact HTML link tags, and a validity check (`<rss`, `<feed`, `<rdf:RDF`).	3 / 3
Workflow Clarity	Clear three-step sequence with an explicit validation checkpoint (valid feed returns XML starting with the listed tags) and an edge-cases table giving error-recovery feedback loops for 404, login, parse errors, and empty feeds.	3 / 3
Progressive Disclosure	Well-organized single-purpose skill with one clearly signaled bundle script (scripts/fetch-rss.mjs invoked via the rss-reader wrapper); sections are clearly delimited and references stay one level deep.	3 / 3
	Total	12 / 12 Passed

Description

82%

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 concrete with good natural trigger terms and a distinct niche, but it omits an explicit "Use when..." clause, so the "when to use" guidance is only implied. Adding a trigger clause would raise completeness to the top level.

Suggestions

Append an explicit trigger clause, e.g. "Use when the user wants to monitor a website's RSS/Atom feed or provides a feed URL."

Include common user phrasings like "subscribe" or "monitor updates" to broaden trigger coverage.

Dimension	Reasoning	Score
Specificity	Lists multiple concrete actions — "Discover the RSS/Atom feed URL for a website", "run the fetch-rss.mjs script", "retrieve and parse articles" — matching the anchor for specific concrete actions.	3 / 3
Completeness	Clearly answers "what" but lacks an explicit "Use when..." trigger clause; the "when" is only implied, which per the guidelines caps completeness at 2.	2 / 3
Trigger Term Quality	Includes natural terms users would say — "RSS/Atom feed URL", "website", "articles", "feed" — giving good coverage rather than only technical jargon.	3 / 3
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk	Targets a clear niche (RSS/Atom feed retrieval and parsing) with distinct triggers unlikely to conflict with other skills.	3 / 3
