Quality

Content

57%

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

The body is appropriately concise and well-structured for a tiny deprecation notice, but its guidance is not actionable: it redirects to 'OMX trace/runtime inspection surfaces' without naming them or giving any concrete command. No validation/workflow steps are present, though none are strictly needed for a redirect.

Suggestions

Name the specific maintained OMX surfaces and provide at least one concrete command or entry point so the redirect is actionable instead of vague.

Remove the vestigial 'Task: {{ARGUMENTS}}' line, which adds no value to a hard-deprecated skill.

If a redirect workflow is intended, state it as an explicit step (e.g., '1. Do not invoke this skill. 2. Use <named surface> for trace evidence.') to make the sequence unambiguous.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

The body is a lean three-line deprecation notice with no concept explanations or padding; every token earns its place, matching the score-3 'lean and efficient' anchor.

3 / 3

Actionability

It offers only vague direction ('Use maintained OMX trace/runtime inspection surfaces directly') with no concrete commands, code, or named surfaces, fitting the score-1 'describes rather than instructs' anchor.

1 / 3

Workflow Clarity

The redirect intent is stated ('Do not invoke or route this skill…Use maintained OMX…surfaces') but the target is underspecified with no concrete steps, so it sits at score-2 rather than fully unambiguous.

2 / 3

Progressive Disclosure

This is an under-50-line skill with no need for external references (none exist), and the single heading plus clear statement is adequately organized, so the simple-skills note permits a score-3.

Description

22%

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 a minimal deprecation label rather than a capability description: it states a vague 'what' with no concrete actions and no 'when to use' trigger. It has one natural trigger term ('trace') but is otherwise padded with jargon.

Suggestions

Even for a deprecated skill, restate the description to name concrete former capabilities (e.g., 'Captured and reported trace evidence from the legacy shim') so the 'what' is specific.

Add an explicit trigger clause such as 'Use when…' or, for a deprecated skill, 'Do not use; route trace requests to OMX surfaces' so the 'when' is not missing.

Replace jargon like 'deprecated shim' with user-natural phrasing and include common variations (e.g., 'trace, tracing, runtime inspection') to improve trigger-term coverage.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

The description 'Trace deprecated shim' is a terse label with no concrete actions listed, comparable to the vague 'Processes data' anchor rather than the multi-action score-3 examples.

1 / 3

Completeness

It gives only a weak 'what' (a deprecation label) and entirely omits any 'when'/'Use when' trigger guidance, so it is missing the 'when' half as the rubric's cap and score-1 anchor describe.

1 / 3

Trigger Term Quality

'trace' is a natural term a user might say, but 'deprecated shim' is technical jargon and common variations are missing, matching the score-2 'some relevant keywords but missing common variations' anchor.

2 / 3

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

'deprecated shim' narrows the niche somewhat, but the generic term 'trace' could overlap with many trace-related skills, fitting the score-2 'somewhat specific but could still overlap' anchor.
