verify

Combined verification — recite (description quality via cold-read prediction) + validate (schema compliance) + review (health checks). Use as a quality gate after creating notes or as periodic maintenance. Triggers on "/verify", "/verify [note]", "verify note quality", "check note health".

Quality

Content

77%

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

A highly actionable, well-sequenced verification workflow with concrete commands and strong validation gates. Its main weaknesses are token-inefficient duplication of the validate/review tables and rationale, and a monolithic structure that keeps philosophy and templates inline instead of in a separate reference file.

Suggestions

De-duplicate the body: keep a single authoritative validate table and review checklist, and have the reference section point back to them instead of restating them.

Move the philosophy, handoff/task-file templates, and queue-update examples into a references/ file (e.g. PHILOSOPHY.md, TEMPLATES.md) and link one level deep from the operational steps to improve progressive_disclosure.

Trim the restated retrieval-test rationale (it appears at lines 135 and 360) to a single concise explanation, cutting the bulk that drives the conciseness score down.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

The body is operationally useful but materially redundant: the validate table (lines 162-211 and 366-376), the review checks (Step 3 and the 'review: per-note health' section), and the retrieval-test rationale (lines 135 and 360) each appear twice, and the philosophy/reference prose restates the operational half. It could be tightened to a single source of truth. Not score 1 because it does not explain concepts Claude already knows (YAML, grep) — the waste is duplication, not basic-tutorial padding.

2 / 3

Actionability

Provides copy-paste-ready commands — `mcp__qmd__vector_search` with query/collection/limit params, `qmd vsearch` CLI fallback, `qmd status`, and a literal jq queue-update bash block — plus concrete 1-5 scoring tables and explicit PASS/WARN/FAIL rules, meeting the 'fully executable' anchor.

3 / 3

Workflow Clarity

Six numbered steps are clearly sequenced (index freshness → recite → validate → review → apply fixes → compile → update task) with explicit validation checkpoints ('Passing threshold: 3 or above', 'A single missing required field FAILS'), an anti-shortcut gate requiring all four categories, and a feedback loop (score < 3 → draft and apply improved description).

3 / 3

Progressive Disclosure

No bundle files exist and the skill is a single ~525-line SKILL.md; the philosophy, handoff/task-file templates, and methodology reference (lines 328-533) are inline rather than split into references/, though a one-line signal at line 324 marks that section as reference. The section/step organization is real, but content that should be separate is inline, so it does not reach the 'clear overview with one-level-deep references' anchor.

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, concrete description that states three distinct capabilities, gives explicit 'use when' guidance, and lists natural trigger phrases in third-person voice. It does not pad with vague claims.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Names multiple concrete actions — 'recite (description quality via cold-read prediction) + validate (schema compliance) + review (health checks)' — each with a parenthetical that specifies what the action does, matching the 'lists multiple specific concrete actions' anchor.

3 / 3

Completeness

Answers both 'what' (combined verification of three named checks) and 'when' ('Use as a quality gate after creating notes or as periodic maintenance' plus explicit trigger phrases), satisfying the explicit-what-and-when anchor.

3 / 3

Trigger Term Quality

Explicitly enumerates natural triggers users would say: '"/verify", "/verify [note]", "verify note quality", "check note health"', giving good coverage of both slash-command and phrasal forms.

3 / 3

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

The recite/validate/review framing and note-vocabulary triggers carve a clear niche unlikely to collide with other skills; third-person voice is maintained throughout.
