Quality

Content

77%

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

The content is highly actionable with a clear, validated workflow, but it is monolithic and repetitive for its length, with the same guidance restated across several sections.

Suggestions

Consolidate the redundant "graph first, file second" material — the Decision Framework and Anti-Patterns sections overlap heavily with the When-to-Use table; merge or cross-reference to cut length.

Split the detailed per-tool reference (Available MCP Tools) into a one-level-deep reference file and keep SKILL.md as a concise overview to improve progressive disclosure.

Add at least one example MCP tool invocation with arguments so the actionability extends from tool selection to actual call construction.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

The "graph first, file second" guidance is repeated across the Core Principle, ASCII box, When-to-Use table, Decision Framework, and Anti-Patterns sections; accurate and relevant but could be tightened substantially by consolidating these overlapping restatements.

2 / 3

Actionability

Concrete tool-to-task mappings (search_graph, get_code_snippet, trace_call_path, detect_changes) with purposes and a copy-paste-ready .mcp.json config provide specific, actionable guidance for tool selection.

3 / 3

Workflow Clarity

The numbered 0–6 workflow (PLAN, LOCATE, UNDERSTAND, BLAST, TRACE, CHANGE, VERIFY) is clearly sequenced with an explicit validation checkpoint (VERIFY via detect_changes) and emphasis ("Never skip step 3").

3 / 3

Progressive Disclosure

No bundle files exist and the ~150-line body is monolithic; the detailed tool reference, freshness internals, and config sections are inline where a skill this long could split them into one-level-deep reference files.

Description

67%

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 distinct, but it omits an explicit usage trigger within the description field itself, leaving the "when to use" guidance to the separate when-to-use field.

Suggestions

Add an explicit "Use when..." clause to the description field (e.g., "Use when locating symbols, tracing callers, or assessing blast radius before editing code") so completeness is not capped by the missing-trigger guideline.

Include common natural phrasings such as "find a function", "who calls this", or "what does this change affect" alongside the technical terms to improve trigger-term coverage.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Lists multiple concrete actions — "fast symbol lookup, dependency analysis, and blast radius" — naming specific capabilities rather than vague abstractions.

3 / 3

Completeness

Clearly states what the skill does, but the description field itself lacks an explicit "Use when..." trigger; the when-guidance lives in the separate when-to-use field, so completeness is capped at 2 per the missing-trigger guideline.

2 / 3

Trigger Term Quality

Contains relevant keywords ("symbol lookup", "dependency analysis", "blast radius") but misses common natural phrasings like "find a function", "who calls this", or "what does this change affect"; jargon ("AST-based", "codebase-memory-mcp MCP server") dominates.

2 / 3

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

The code-graph-via-codebase-memory-mcp niche is distinct and unlikely to trigger for unrelated skills.
