Quality

Content

71%Weight 40%Scale 1-5

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

The body is a dense, well-organized routing skill with concrete directives, a clear execution order, and an accountability checkpoint for skipped steps, practicing the token efficiency it mandates. Its main weakness is progressive disclosure against the real bundle: all 16 referenced playbooks are missing and the one shipped reference file is orphaned.

Suggestions

Ship the referenced playbook files (or correct the paths) so the 16 `playbooks/*.md` references resolve within the bundle.

Link `references/plan.md` from the body (e.g., from the Playbooks section as the plan playbook) or remove it, since it is currently unreachable from SKILL.md.

Move the long AskUserQuestion-classification bullet's rationale into the prototype/investigation playbooks to tighten the Non-negotiables section.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

The body is dense and imperative with no explanations of concepts Claude already knows ("**Short declarative sentences.** One thought per sentence, ended with a period.") and practices the brevity it preaches; a few multi-clause passages could be trimmed ("The ask is the slow path. A throwaway probe usually answers faster, and it hands the human a result to react to instead of a decision to make.").

4 / 5

Actionability

Concrete, executable directives throughout: exact strings ("Use `subagent_type: "pstack:poteto-agent"`"), model defaults ("defaults `sonnet` for code, `opus` for prose and judgment"), a worked example ("Write `assert(ok, 'persisted across restart')`"), and the PR URL format; the gap is that much of the executable detail delegates to playbook and leaf-skill files not shipped in this bundle.

4 / 5

Workflow Clarity

Sequence is explicit ("Your first todolist actions are the matched playbook's steps, copied in verbatim, before any task-specific todos and before you reason about the task") with checkpoint enforcement ("A step you choose not to do stays in the list with a one-line `skip: <reason>`; skipping silently is not allowed"); not 5 because the execution-level step sequences and validation loops live in the playbook files rather than the body.

4 / 5

Progressive Disclosure

References are clearly signaled and one level deep ("`playbooks/feature.md`", "`playbooks/investigation.md`"), but scored against the actual bundle: none of the 16 referenced `playbooks/*.md` paths exist in the bundle, and the single shipped file, `references/plan.md`, is never linked from the body, so navigation does not fully resolve.

Description

71%Weight 40%Scale 1-5

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 explicitly answers both what the skill does (a five-part agent working style) and when to use it (named triggers), with strong distinctiveness as a personal-style skill. Its weaknesses are thin natural-language trigger coverage beyond the skill's own name and one circular trigger phrase.

Suggestions

Replace "requests to work in this style" with concrete phrases a user would actually say, e.g. "poteto style", "write like poteto", "answer in poteto mode".

Soften the insider jargon ("unslopped prose") with a plain-language equivalent or a brief gloss so the capability is legible outside the pstack context.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

"concise, detailed responses, deliberate subagents, unslopped prose, simple code, and verified work" lists five specific style capabilities rather than generic filler, but they are attributes rather than concrete actions and "unslopped prose" is insider jargon, leaving minor gaps in coverage.

4 / 5

Completeness

Both what ("poteto's agent style for concise, detailed responses, deliberate subagents, unslopped prose, simple code, and verified work") and when ("Use for poteto, /poteto-mode") are explicitly stated; not 5 because the third trigger phrase is circular rather than a concrete trigger.

4 / 5

Trigger Term Quality

"Use for poteto, /poteto-mode, or requests to work in this style" covers the skill's name and slash command, but "requests to work in this style" is self-referential and natural variations ("poteto style", "write like poteto") are missing — some relevant keywords, common variations absent.

3 / 5

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

"poteto's agent style" occupies a clearly named personal niche with distinct triggers; virtually no overlap with other skills' trigger surfaces.
