Personal leadership development for founders and first-time CEOs. Covers founder archetype identification, delegation frameworks, energy management, CEO calendar audits, leadership style evolution, blind spot identification, imposter syndrome, founder mental health, and succession planning. Use when a founder feels like the bottleneck, struggles to delegate, is burning out, transitioning from IC to executive, managing a board, or when user mentions founder mode, CEO growth, leadership development, delegation, burnout, or imposter syndrome.

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.

A well-structured coaching skill: concrete frameworks with specific thresholds and decision rules, clearly sequenced diagnostic procedures, and real, well-signaled one-level-deep references. It is slightly padded (duplicated keyword section, motivational prose) and inlines more framework detail in SKILL.md than a strictly progressive-disclosure structure would.

Suggestions

Remove the '## Keywords' section — it duplicates trigger terms already present in the frontmatter description and adds no guidance value.

Trim the motivational framing ('Core Truth' narrative and aphoristic openers) to reduce token overhead while preserving the stage-ceiling facts (15/50/150 people).

Move lower-frequency sections (e.g., The Founder Mode Trap, Succession Planning details) into a reference file, keeping only their decision rules in SKILL.md so the body reads as an overview with one-level-deep pointers.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

The body is mostly dense, opinionated guidance with tables and decision rules rather than explanations of known concepts, but the "## Keywords" section duplicates trigger terms already in the frontmatter description, and the opening "Core Truth" prose ("Your company can only grow as fast as you do... This works until it doesn't.") is motivational padding that could be trimmed — anchor 4 (efficient, minor over-explanation) rather than anchor 5.

4 / 5

Actionability

Most sections give concrete, executable guidance: a 5-level Delegation Ladder, the Skill × Will matrix, calendar-audit target percentages with red-flag thresholds ("Admin > 20%", "Execution > 30%"), succession readiness Levels 1–4, and diagnostic question lists. However, some sections (Founder Mode Trap, Imposter Syndrome Toolkit) offer reframes and principles rather than steps a coach would directly execute — anchor 4, not fully copy-paste-ready anchor 5.

4 / 5

Workflow Clarity

Diagnostic procedures are clearly sequenced with checkpoints: the calendar audit flows "Pull the last 4 weeks of calendar data. Categorize every meeting/block" into a target-% table and red-flag thresholds that act as validation gates, and the blind-spot section lists four ordered discovery methods. It falls short of anchor 5 because there is no explicit end-to-end coaching workflow (which framework to apply first, how to structure a session) tying the sections together.

4 / 5

Progressive Disclosure

Both bundle references exist, are one level deep, and are clearly signaled — inline ("See references/founder-toolkit.md for the full template") and in a closing "Detailed References" section with content summaries. However, at ~300 lines the SKILL.md body fully inlines all ten frameworks rather than acting as a lean overview pointing into the two reference files, which is a minor organization gap per anchor 4 rather than the appropriately-split anchor 5.

Description

96%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.

An excellent description: explicit what and when, a concrete list of capability areas, natural trigger phrases, and correct third-person voice. The only weakness is mild overlap risk from generic keywords shared with general leadership and burnout-related skills.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

The description lists nine concrete capability areas ("founder archetype identification, delegation frameworks, energy management, CEO calendar audits, leadership style evolution, blind spot identification, imposter syndrome, founder mental health, and succession planning") in third-person voice ("Covers"), giving comprehensive coverage of the skill's domain — matching the anchor-5 example rather than the minor-gaps anchor 4.

5 / 5

Completeness

It explicitly answers both questions: a clear what ("Personal leadership development for founders and first-time CEOs. Covers...") and an explicit, concrete when ("Use when a founder feels like the bottleneck... or when user mentions founder mode, CEO growth..."). This mirrors the anchor-5 good example's structure exactly; anchor 4 would require the 'when' to be less explicit.

5 / 5

Trigger Term Quality

It combines natural situational phrases users would actually say ("feels like the bottleneck", "struggles to delegate", "is burning out", "transitioning from IC to executive", "managing a board") with an explicit keyword list ("founder mode, CEO growth, leadership development, delegation, burnout, or imposter syndrome") and founder/CEO synonyms — comprehensive natural-term coverage per the anchor-5 example.

5 / 5

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

The founder/first-time-CEO niche is mostly distinct with founder-specific triggers ("founder mode", "transitioning from IC to executive"), but generic terms like "leadership development", "delegation", and "burnout" create minor overlap risk with general leadership-coaching or mental-health skills — anchor 4 (mostly distinct, minor overlap) rather than 5 (minimal conflict risk).
