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-structured, token-efficient formulation skill with concrete templates and a quality-bar checkpoint. It scores consistently strong across dimensions, with no bundle files needed and no external reference complexity.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

The body is lean — a question table, a YAML handoff schema, a markdown template, and a one-line quality bar — with no padding or explanation of concepts Claude already knows; only minor explanatory phrasing in the Overview could be trimmed.

4 / 5

Actionability

Provides copy-paste-ready YAML handoff schema and a markdown template with named sections plus a concrete element table; as an instruction-only skill the guidance is actionable with only minor gaps (placeholder '...' fields).

4 / 5

Workflow Clarity

The single task is unambiguous and sequenced (formulate elements → populate handoff → meet quality bar), with the 'Quality Bar' section acting as an explicit pass/fail checkpoint; no destructive or batch operations requiring feedback loops.

4 / 5

Progressive Disclosure

Content is well-organized into clearly labeled sections (Overview, Required Elements, Handoff Schema, Template, Quality Bar) with no nested references; all material appropriately belongs inline for this self-contained formulation skill.

Description

75%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 specific and distinctive, clearly scoping a statistical problem-formulation skill with concrete elements. Its main weakness is the absence of any explicit 'Use when...' trigger guidance, which caps completeness.

Suggestions

Append an explicit trigger clause, e.g. 'Use when starting a statistical research project, defining an estimand, or specifying assumptions and hypotheses before method design.'

Add natural synonyms and file/notation cues users might say (e.g. 'estimand', 'identifiability', 'data-generating model') to broaden trigger coverage.

Keep the third-person voice but pair the 'what' with a concrete 'when' to lift completeness above 3.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Lists multiple concrete formulation components — 'formal notation, target parameters, assumptions, hypotheses, evaluation criteria, and theory targets' — giving comprehensive coverage of the skill's actions.

5 / 5

Completeness

Clearly states what the skill does ('Formulate statistical research problems with...') but provides no 'Use when...' or equivalent trigger guidance, which caps completeness at 3 per the rubric guidelines.

3 / 5

Trigger Term Quality

Uses domain-natural terms like 'statistical research problems', 'target parameters', 'assumptions', 'hypotheses', and 'theory targets' that a statistician would say, but omits common synonyms and lacks an explicit trigger phrase in the description field itself.

4 / 5

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

The statistical-problem-formulation niche is highly specific with distinct triggers, making overlap with unrelated skills minimal.
