Quality

Content

67%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 skill delivers a clear, actionable iterative-retrieval workflow with code and worked examples, but relies on several undefined helper functions and re-explains background concepts. Organization is solid for a single file, though some content could be tightened.

Suggestions

Define or stub the helper functions (retrieveFiles, scoreRelevance, extractPatterns, extractKeywords, hasCriticalGaps) so the code is directly executable.

Trim the '問題' section's re-explanation of the context problem and standard failure modes, which Claude already understands.

Move the detailed scoring rubric or worked examples into a reference file and signal it from the main body to improve progressive disclosure.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

The body is mostly efficient with code and concise phase descriptions, but the '問題' section re-explains the context problem and standard failure modes that Claude largely already knows.

3 / 5

Actionability

Concrete JavaScript is provided for each phase plus two worked examples, but several helpers (retrieveFiles, scoreRelevance, extractPatterns, hasCriticalGaps) are undefined, so it is not fully copy-paste ready.

4 / 5

Workflow Clarity

The four-phase DISPATCH→EVALUATE→REFINE→LOOP cycle is clearly sequenced with a stopping checkpoint (highRelevance >= 3 and no critical gaps), but hasCriticalGaps is undefined so the validation is partly implicit.

4 / 5

Progressive Disclosure

The single-file body is well-organized into clear sections with a '相關' pointer to external material, but at ~200 lines with no content split into bundle files it is not fully appropriate for a one-level-deep structure.

Description

53%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 names the domain and a concrete action but lacks any explicit 'when to use' guidance, which limits its completeness and trigger clarity. It is reasonably distinct but would benefit from natural trigger phrases and an explicit use-when clause.

Suggestions

Add an explicit 'Use when ...' clause naming concrete trigger situations (e.g., dispatching subagents that need to locate relevant files).

Replace or supplement the jargon term 'subagent context problem' with natural phrases users would actually say, like 'finding relevant files for subagents'.

Enumerate concrete actions the skill performs (e.g., 'broaden queries, score relevance, refine keywords') to improve specificity.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Quotes 'Pattern for progressively refining context retrieval' name the domain and one concrete action (refining context retrieval) but offer no enumerated actions, so it is not comprehensive.

3 / 5

Completeness

A clear 'what' is present but there is no 'Use when...' or equivalent trigger guidance, which per the rubric caps completeness at 3.

3 / 5

Trigger Term Quality

'context retrieval' is a moderately natural phrase, but 'subagent context problem' is technical jargon rather than a phrase users would actually say, and common synonyms are missing.

3 / 5

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

The 'subagent context problem' framing carves a fairly distinct niche with minimal conflict risk, though it could overlap slightly with general context-gathering skills.
