Discovery
0%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 description is too vague and abstract to be useful for skill selection. It lacks concrete actions, natural trigger terms, explicit usage guidance, and distinctive characteristics that would help Claude choose it appropriately from a pool of skills.
Suggestions
Add a 'Use when...' clause with specific trigger scenarios (e.g., 'Use when user asks to break down a project, create a roadmap, plan a multi-step task, or needs help organizing complex work')
Replace abstract language with concrete actions (e.g., 'Creates step-by-step project plans, identifies dependencies, estimates timelines, breaks large tasks into subtasks')
Include natural keywords users would say (e.g., 'project plan', 'break down', 'roadmap', 'milestones', 'task list', 'how to approach')
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Specificity | The description uses vague, abstract language ('strategic planner', 'complex goals', 'actionable steps') without listing any concrete actions. It doesn't specify what types of goals, what decomposition looks like, or what outputs are produced. | 1 / 3 |
Completeness | The description weakly addresses 'what' (decomposes goals into steps) but completely lacks any 'when' guidance. There is no 'Use when...' clause or explicit trigger guidance for Claude to know when to select this skill. | 1 / 3 |
Trigger Term Quality | Contains no natural keywords users would actually say. Terms like 'strategic planner' and 'decomposes' are not how users typically phrase requests - they might say 'break down', 'plan', 'steps', 'roadmap', 'how do I', etc. | 1 / 3 |
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk | Extremely generic - 'complex goals' and 'actionable steps' could apply to virtually any planning, project management, task breakdown, or problem-solving skill. High conflict risk with many potential skills. | 1 / 3 |

Implementation
77%Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.
This is a solid strategic planning skill with excellent actionability through its concrete plan template and clear workflow methodology. The main weaknesses are moderate verbosity (persona framing, decorative quote) and keeping all content inline rather than using progressive disclosure for the detailed template. The skill effectively teaches Claude how to decompose complex goals into actionable stages.
Suggestions
Remove the persona framing ('You are Prometheus') and decorative quote to improve token efficiency
Consider extracting the detailed plan format template to a separate PLAN_TEMPLATE.md file and referencing it from the main skill
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The content is reasonably efficient but includes some unnecessary elements like the Lincoln quote, the persona framing ('You are Prometheus'), and some explanatory text that Claude would already understand about planning methodology. | 2 / 3 |
Actionability | Provides a concrete, copy-paste ready plan format template with specific fields, clear examples of what each section should contain, and explicit guidance on agent assignment, dependencies, and execution order. | 3 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | Clear 4-step methodology (Goal Analysis → Decomposition → Resource Planning → Execution Strategy) with explicit sequencing, the plan format shows clear stage dependencies, and includes risk mitigation as a validation checkpoint. | 3 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | Content is well-structured with clear sections, but everything is inline in a single file. For a planning skill of this complexity, the detailed plan format template could be separated into a reference file, and the methodology could link to examples. | 2 / 3 |
