Quality

Content

72%Weight 40%Scale 1-3

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

The body is admirably concise and well-structured for a simple workflow, but the merge/dedup guidance is underspecified and the in-place file modification lacks an explicit validation feedback loop.

Suggestions

Specify the dedup and merge mechanism (e.g., match on item id/name keys before appending) so 'Avoid duplicates' is executable.

Add an explicit validation checkpoint after writing outline.yaml (e.g., parse the YAML and confirm schema/validity before declaring success) with a fix-and-retry loop.

Clarify how user-confirmed items are committed (e.g., exact append location or list key) to make Step 3 copy-paste ready.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

The body is lean and well-sectioned with no over-explanation of concepts Claude already knows; every line directs an action, matching the score-3 anchor.

3 / 3

Actionability

It gives a concrete glob ('Find */outline.yaml') and explicit steps, but 'Avoid duplicates' and 'Append new items' lack the mechanism or schema detail needed to be fully actionable.

2 / 3

Workflow Clarity

Steps are clearly sequenced with a user-confirmation checkpoint, but the in-place outline modification has no explicit YAML/schema validation or error-recovery loop, which caps risky batch/destructive operations at 2.

2 / 3

Progressive Disclosure

The skill is under 50 lines, has no external references, and is organized into clearly labeled sections, satisfying the simple-skill allowance for a score of 3.

Description

50%Weight 40%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.

The description clearly states a single capability but omits any explicit trigger guidance, leaving the 'when to use' half unanswered. It is competent but generic enough to risk overlap with related skills.

Suggestions

Append a 'Use when...' clause naming natural triggers (e.g., 'Use when the user asks to add, supplement, or expand items in an existing research outline').

List concrete actions beyond 'add' (e.g., 'append, deduplicate, and categorize research objects') to lift specificity to 3.

Add common user phrasings like 'add to outline', 'supplement research', or 'expand research objects' to improve trigger-term coverage.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Quotes 'Add items (research objects) to existing research outline' name the domain and one concrete action, but stop short of listing multiple specific actions like the score-3 anchor.

2 / 3

Completeness

It states what the skill does but provides no 'Use when...' clause or equivalent trigger guidance, which per the guidelines caps completeness at 2.

2 / 3

Trigger Term Quality

Terms 'items', 'research objects', 'research outline' are relevant but sparse and lack common user variations such as 'add to outline' or 'supplement research', so it is not full coverage.

2 / 3

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

The research-outline niche is somewhat specific, but without explicit distinct triggers it could overlap with general research or outlining skills.
