Quality

Content

78%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, concise methodology guide with concrete frameworks and named tools. It would benefit from a worked example search string and an extraction-form template to raise actionability.

Suggestions

Add one concrete worked example of a complete Boolean search string to bridge the gap from guidance to execution.

Include a minimal data-extraction form template (fields to capture per study) to make the screening/synthesis step fully actionable.

Add an explicit validation checkpoint in the PRISMA flow (e.g., confirm deduplicated count equals sum of database hits minus duplicates) to close the minor workflow gap.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

Mostly efficient bullet-style instructions that assume Claude's competence, with only minor explanatory parentheticals (e.g., 'typically English', 'last 5-10 years for rapidly evolving fields') that add specificity but could be trimmed.

4 / 5

Actionability

Provides concrete, executable guidance with named frameworks and tools (PICO, PRISMA, Cochrane Risk of Bias, Newcastle-Ottawa Scale, specific databases), but lacks worked example search strings or extraction-form templates that would make it fully copy-paste ready.

4 / 5

Workflow Clarity

Clear multi-step sequences (PRISMA flow with recorded counts at each stage, two-pass screening) with most checkpoints present; minor validation gaps such as no explicit reconciliation check for deduplication counts.

4 / 5

Progressive Disclosure

Under 50 lines with no external bundle files needed, and content is cleanly organized into well-labeled sections (Search Strategy, Inclusion/Exclusion, PRISMA, Screening, Synthesis) that satisfy the simple-skill exception.

Description

83%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 strong, explicitly answering both what the skill does and when to use it with natural trigger phrases. It could be improved by adding more concrete action verbs and common synonyms like 'systematic review' or 'PRISMA'.

Suggestions

Add common synonyms such as 'systematic review', 'lit review', or 'PRISMA' to broaden natural trigger coverage.

Replace abstract phases with more concrete action verbs (e.g., 'design search strings, screen studies, synthesize findings').

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Names the domain and several concrete phases ('search strategy, screening, and synthesis') but these are process phases rather than fully concrete actions, leaving minor coverage gaps.

4 / 5

Completeness

Explicitly states both what ('Systematic literature review methodology including search strategy, screening, and synthesis') and when ('Use when conducting literature reviews or writing background sections') with concrete trigger phrases.

5 / 5

Trigger Term Quality

Includes natural phrases users would say ('literature reviews', 'background sections') but misses common synonyms like 'systematic review', 'lit review', or 'PRISMA'.

4 / 5

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

Targets a clear niche (systematic literature review) with distinct triggers, though 'writing background sections' has minor overlap risk with general academic writing skills.
