a0-plugin-router

Main entry point for all Agent Zero plugin tasks. Routes to specialist skills for creating, reviewing, contributing, managing, or debugging plugins. Use when the user mentions plugins, asks how the plugin system works, wants to build/install/uninstall/publish/debug a plugin, or asks about the Plugin Hub.

Quality

Content

92%

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

A well-structured router skill with lean, actionable routing guidance and a dense inline overview for explain queries; its main weakness is keeping substantial reference detail inline instead of deferring it to the referenced deep-dive docs.

Suggestions

Move the detailed plugin.yaml manifest schema, settings-resolution priority list, and API routes table into the referenced deep-dive docs (/a0/docs/developer/plugins.md, /a0/plugins/AGENTS.md) and keep only a brief summary in the router body.

Tighten the 'Plugin System Overview' so the inline content stays at overview level, linking out for the field-by-field and route-by-route detail.

Dimension	Reasoning	Score
Conciseness	The body is information-dense (routing table, manifest fields, file-purpose table, settings-resolution priority, API routes) with no re-explanation of concepts Claude already knows and no padding; every section earns its place.	3 / 3
Actionability	Provides concrete, specific guidance — exact specialist-skill paths, exact plugin.yaml field names with constraints, exact route patterns, and an ordered settings-resolution list — which is actionable for an instruction/reference skill.	3 / 3
Workflow Clarity	The routing workflow is clearly sequenced (classify intent via the table, read the matching skill, ask one disambiguation question when ambiguous) with an explicit combined-intent example; routing is non-destructive so validation checkpoints are not required.	3 / 3
Progressive Disclosure	References to specialist skills and deep-dive docs are one-level-deep and clearly signaled, but a large detailed reference block (manifest schema, settings-resolution priority, API routes) is inline rather than split into the already-referenced deep-dive docs, so content is not appropriately separated.	2 / 3

Description

100%

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, concise description that states concrete capabilities, provides natural trigger terms, and explicitly covers both what the skill does and when to use it in third-person voice.

Dimension	Reasoning	Score
Specificity	Lists multiple concrete actions — 'creating, reviewing, contributing, managing, or debugging plugins' — matching the anchor for several specific concrete actions rather than vague language.	3 / 3
Completeness	Explicitly answers both what ('Routes to specialist skills for...') and when ('Use when the user mentions plugins...'), with third-person voice and an explicit 'Use when' trigger clause.	3 / 3
Trigger Term Quality	Covers natural terms users would say — 'plugins', 'build/install/uninstall/publish/debug a plugin', 'Plugin Hub', 'how the plugin system works' — giving good coverage of common variations.	3 / 3
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk	Occupies a clear niche as the Agent Zero plugin entry point with distinct triggers ('Plugin Hub', 'how the plugin system works'), making it unlikely to fire for unrelated skills.	3 / 3
