Quality

Content

36%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.

This is an unfilled starter template: structurally clean and concise, but its content is placeholder prompts to the author rather than actionable guidance for the agent. It scores well on conciseness and structure but fails on actionability and workflow clarity because there is nothing concrete to execute.

Suggestions

Replace the placeholder prompts under 'Steps' with concrete, executable instructions (specific files, commands, or code) the agent can follow.

Fill in the 'When to use' section with concrete triggering situations so the workflow is meaningful.

Add an explicit validation/verification step for any destructive or batch operations the real skill performs.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

The body is short and uncluttered, and though it is placeholder scaffolding rather than real content, it does not pad with concepts Claude already knows; it earns slightly above the midpoint for lean efficiency.

4 / 5

Actionability

The body only describes what an author should do ('Describe the situations', 'State the inputs') rather than instructing the agent how to execute; it contains no concrete code, commands, or specific executable guidance.

1 / 5

Workflow Clarity

A rough sequence of three steps is listed, but they are template prompts to fill in, not defined steps with validation checkpoints, so the sequence is poorly defined and validation is absent.

2 / 5

Progressive Disclosure

The body is organized into clear sections (When to use, Steps) with no external references, which is appropriate for a short file; however the section bodies are empty placeholders rather than real overview content.

Description

25%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 an honest placeholder meta-label rather than a capability statement: it describes what the stub is for, not what the skill does or when to invoke it. It lacks concrete actions, natural trigger terms, and any 'when' guidance, leaving it below midpoint on every dimension.

Suggestions

Replace the meta description with the skill's actual purpose and 2–4 concrete actions (e.g. what it produces or operates on).

Add an explicit 'Use when...' trigger clause naming natural phrases a user would say (specific keywords/synonyms).

Rewrite in third-person capability voice and narrow the scope so the description is distinct from generic templating skills.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

It names the domain ('Starter skill template', 'workspace layout') but the only 'action' stated is 'Replace the body', which is generic administrative direction rather than a concrete capability the skill performs.

2 / 5

Completeness

It gives a vague 'what' ('Starter skill template' for teaching the workspace layout) but provides no 'when' clause or trigger guidance, so the missing 'when' keeps it below the midpoint.

2 / 5

Trigger Term Quality

It contains only generic terms ('template', 'playbook', 'workspace layout') and none of the natural phrases a user would say when needing this skill; no synonyms or relevant keywords beyond the meta-concept of a template.

2 / 5

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

The description is very broad and meta-generic; 'Starter skill template' overlaps with any scaffolding or templating skill and would not clearly distinguish this from related skills.
