Discovery
29%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 clear, distinctive niche (PredictIt) but fails to specify what actions the skill performs or when Claude should select it. It reads more like a label than a functional description, lacking the concrete actions and trigger guidance needed for effective skill selection.
Suggestions
Add specific actions the skill performs, e.g., 'Fetches current market prices, lists active contracts, and retrieves historical data from PredictIt.'
Add an explicit 'Use when...' clause with natural trigger terms, e.g., 'Use when the user asks about PredictIt markets, political betting odds, election prediction prices, or contract data.'
Include common user-facing synonyms and variations like 'prediction market odds', 'election betting', 'political futures' to improve trigger term coverage.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Specificity | The description names the domain ('PredictIt political prediction market') and notes it's read-only, but lists no concrete actions such as fetching prices, listing markets, or retrieving contract data. | 1 / 3 |
Completeness | The 'what' is extremely vague (no specific actions listed) and there is no 'when' clause or explicit trigger guidance at all, which per the rubric caps completeness at 2 at best—and the weak 'what' drops it to 1. | 1 / 3 |
Trigger Term Quality | 'PredictIt' and 'political prediction market' are relevant trigger terms a user might say, but it misses common variations like 'betting odds', 'election markets', 'prediction prices', or 'contract prices'. | 2 / 3 |
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk | 'PredictIt' is a very specific, named platform, making this unlikely to conflict with other skills. The niche is clear and distinct. | 3 / 3 |
Total | 7 / 12 Passed |
Implementation
100%Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.
This is a well-crafted, concise skill for a simple read-only API integration. It provides all necessary information (commands, price field definitions, constraints) without any bloat. The structure is clean and appropriately sized for the scope of the functionality.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The content is lean and efficient. No unnecessary explanations of what prediction markets are or how APIs work. Every section earns its place with practical reference information. | 3 / 3 |
Actionability | Commands are concrete and copy-paste ready with clear syntax patterns. The command table and examples provide specific, executable guidance for all available operations. | 3 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | This is a simple, single-purpose read-only skill with no multi-step processes or destructive operations. The commands are unambiguous and self-contained, so no validation checkpoints are needed. | 3 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | For a simple skill under 50 lines, the content is well-organized with clear sections (Quick Start, Commands, Features, Notes, Price Data). No need for external file references given the scope. | 3 / 3 |
Total | 12 / 12 Passed |
