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

75%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 well-organized router-plus-overview: a clear routing table with concrete specialist paths, an explicit disambiguation fallback, and a concise Plugin System Overview backed by one-level-deep references. It is efficient and actionable, with only minor room to trim or externalize the overview.

Suggestions

Consider moving the 'Plugin System Overview' section into a referenced AGENTS.md/doc file and keeping only a brief summary inline, to further tighten the router body.

Add a one-line note clarifying that the routed specialist skills are the authoritative source, so explain queries know when to defer to them versus the inline overview.

Surface the update/browse/scan verbs (present in the routing table) in the disambiguation question so the routing intent map is fully covered.

Dimension	Reasoning	Score
Conciseness	The body is domain-specific Agent Zero detail (manifest fields, settings resolution, API routes) rather than concepts Claude already knows, though the inline Plugin System Overview could be trimmed slightly since deep-dive references already exist.	4 / 5
Actionability	Concrete routing targets ('Read /a0/skills/a0-create-plugin/SKILL.md'), a copy-ready plugin.yaml manifest, and explicit API route and settings-resolution tables give actionable guidance with only minor gaps.	4 / 5
Workflow Clarity	The routing decision is a clear classify-then-read sequence with an explicit disambiguation checkpoint for ambiguous intent; no destructive or batch operations are present so the validation cap does not apply.	4 / 5
Progressive Disclosure	Good section structure with well-signaled one-level-deep references (specialist SKILL.md files and AGENTS.md/doc paths); no bundle files exist, and the inline overview is appropriately flagged for explain queries.	4 / 5

Description

87%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 is well-constructed: it states the skill's routing purpose, enumerates concrete plugin-lifecycle actions, and provides an explicit 'Use when' trigger clause with natural terms. It is third-person and free of fluff, with only minor synonym-coverage gaps.

Dimension	Reasoning	Score
Specificity	Lists several concrete routing actions ('creating, reviewing, contributing, managing, or debugging plugins') plus build/install/uninstall/publish/debug triggers, with minor gaps such as update/browse/scan not surfaced in the what-clause.	4 / 5
Completeness	Explicitly answers what ('Routes to specialist skills for creating, reviewing, contributing, managing, or debugging plugins') and when ('Use when the user mentions plugins...') with concrete trigger phrases.	5 / 5
Trigger Term Quality	Strong natural-term coverage ('mentions plugins', 'how the plugin system works', 'build/install/uninstall/publish/debug a plugin', 'Plugin Hub'), but a few natural synonyms like 'develop' or 'edit plugin' are missing.	4 / 5
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk	Clear niche scoped to the Agent Zero plugin system with distinct, plugin-specific triggers, yielding minimal conflict risk with unrelated skills.	5 / 5
	Total	18 / 20 Passed
