article-writing

Write articles, guides, blog posts, tutorials, newsletter issues, and other long-form content in a distinctive voice derived from supplied examples or brand guidance. Use when the user wants polished written content longer than a paragraph, especially when voice consistency, structure, and credibility matter.

Quality

Content

82%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.

A tight, well-organized instruction skill: every section is a directive with no filler, banned patterns are illustrated with quoted examples, and the writing process ends in an explicit quality-gate checklist. The residual gaps are minor — an applied before/after example would strengthen actionability, and the quality gate lacks an explicit re-validation loop.

Suggestions

Add one short before/after rewrite pair (a generic opening rewritten per the Core Rules) to make the banned-pattern guidance directly imitable and push actionability to fully executable.

State what to do when a Quality Gate check fails (e.g., 'if the voice check fails, re-extract the voice traits and revise before delivering') to close the fix-and-recheck loop in workflow_clarity.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

Every line is a lean directive ("keep the first screen strong", "mix insight with updates, not diary filler", "end with concrete takeaways, not a soft summary"); there is no padding and no explanation of concepts Claude already knows, so every token earns its place.

5 / 5

Actionability

Guidance is concrete for an instruction-only skill — quoted banned phrases ("In today's rapidly evolving landscape", "game-changer"), a specific voice-extraction checklist, and per-format structure rules — but there is no before/after rewrite example showing the rules applied, which the top anchor's coverage of common cases would warrant.

4 / 5

Workflow Clarity

The five-step Writing Process is clearly sequenced and the Quality Gate is an explicit pre-delivery checklist ("verify factual claims", "confirm the voice matches the supplied examples"), but the gate is end-of-process with no explicit fix-and-recheck loop, so it sits between the clear-checkpoints anchor and the feedback-loop anchor rather than at the top.

4 / 5

Progressive Disclosure

The single ~80-line file is well-sectioned with all content earning its place inline and no reference indirection, which is appropriate at this size; it scores just below the top anchor because the body slightly exceeds the under-50-line simple-skill case and offers no pointer structure for optional depth (e.g., per-format templates).

Description

83%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.

A strong description that explicitly states both what the skill does and when to use it, with natural trigger phrasing and concrete deliverable types. Its only weaknesses are minor: the action vocabulary is a single write-verb across many content types, and a few common synonyms (essays, editing) are absent.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Enumerates concrete deliverables ("articles, guides, blog posts, tutorials, newsletter issues") and a concrete mechanism ("distinctive voice derived from supplied examples or brand guidance"), but the action set is essentially one verb applied to many objects rather than the comprehensive multiple actions of the top anchor.

4 / 5

Completeness

Explicitly answers both questions with concrete trigger phrases: what ("Write articles, guides, blog posts, tutorials, newsletter issues, and other long-form content") and when ("Use when the user wants polished written content longer than a paragraph, especially when voice consistency, structure, and credibility matter"), matching the top anchor exactly.

5 / 5

Trigger Term Quality

Good natural coverage — "blog posts", "tutorials", "newsletter issues", "long-form content", "voice consistency" are phrases users would actually say — but common variations like "essays", "write-up", or "editing/proofreading a draft" are missing, so it falls just short of the comprehensive-synonyms anchor.

4 / 5

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

The long-form-writing plus voice-capture niche is mostly distinct, but a request to "tighten this draft" could overlap with a generic editing or proofreading skill, leaving minor overlap risk with closely related skills rather than minimal conflict.
