Discovery

40%

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 identifies a specialized bioinformatics capability but is too terse to be effective for skill selection. It lacks explicit trigger guidance and comprehensive action details, though its narrow domain focus provides good distinctiveness.

Suggestions

Add a 'Use when...' clause with trigger terms like 'gene structure', 'exon map', 'intron visualization', 'transcript diagram', or 'genomic annotation'

Expand the capabilities list to include specific actions such as 'plot exon boundaries, annotate splice sites, generate gene diagrams from GTF/GFF files'

Include common file formats or data sources users might mention (e.g., 'GTF files', 'Ensembl data', 'RefSeq annotations')

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Names the domain (gene structure) and one action (visualize), but lacks comprehensive details about what specific capabilities are offered (e.g., annotation, export formats, species support).

2 / 3

Completeness

Only describes what (visualize gene structure) but completely lacks any 'Use when...' clause or explicit trigger guidance for when Claude should select this skill.

1 / 3

Trigger Term Quality

Includes relevant technical terms 'gene', 'exon', 'intron' that bioinformatics users would use, but misses common variations like 'gene structure diagram', 'splice sites', 'transcript visualization', or 'genomic features'.

2 / 3

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

The specific focus on exon-intron structure visualization is a clear niche that is unlikely to conflict with other skills; the domain is highly specialized.

Implementation

37%

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

This skill provides basic CLI usage information but is padded with template boilerplate (risk assessment, security checklist, lifecycle status) that doesn't help Claude execute the task. The core functionality is underspecified—no example outputs, no error handling guidance, and features like domain annotation and mutation marking are mentioned but not explained.

Suggestions

Remove or drastically reduce boilerplate sections (Risk Assessment, Security Checklist, Evaluation Criteria, Lifecycle Status) that don't aid task execution

Add concrete example outputs showing what the SVG/PNG visualization looks like or contains

Provide specific examples for using --domains and --mutations flags with expected results

Add error handling guidance: what happens with invalid gene symbols, and how to troubleshoot common failures

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

The skill includes substantial boilerplate sections (Risk Assessment, Security Checklist, Evaluation Criteria, Lifecycle Status) that add little value for Claude's task execution. The core usage information is reasonably concise, but the template-like sections inflate token count unnecessarily.

2 / 3

Actionability

Provides a concrete CLI command and parameter table, but lacks executable code examples showing how the script actually works internally. No example output is shown, and the 'Features' section is vague without demonstrating how to use domain annotation or mutation marking.

2 / 3

Workflow Clarity

This is essentially a single-command tool, but there's no guidance on what happens if the gene symbol is invalid, no validation steps, and no error handling workflow. The 'Test Cases' section mentions edge cases but provides no actual guidance on handling them.

1 / 3

Progressive Disclosure

Content is organized with clear sections and a parameter table, but includes too much inline boilerplate that could be omitted or referenced elsewhere. No references to additional documentation for advanced features like domain annotation or mutation marking.
