Content

77%

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-sequenced, highly actionable orchestration workflow with explicit validation and feedback loops. Its main weaknesses are redundant constraint reinforcement and a monolithic single-file structure with no progressive disclosure to bundle files.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

The body is procedural and avoids explaining concepts Claude already knows, but the 'sparky' role constraint is reinforced roughly five times and the RED->GREEN logic is restated outside the template, so it could be tightened.

2 / 3

Actionability

It provides concrete templates with clear placeholders, specific subagent types (sparky, tdd_test_writer), exact commit rules, example commands, and a full summary template, making the guidance copy-paste ready.

3 / 3

Workflow Clarity

A clear five-step sequence (Parse -> Read -> Launch -> Validate -> Repeat) is paired with explicit validation in Step 4 and feedback loops (RED->GREEN until passing, retry/escalate, re-read plan for newly unblocked tasks).

3 / 3

Progressive Disclosure

There are no bundle files and everything lives inline in a ~155-line SKILL.md; sections are well organized, but the large Task Prompt and Execution Summary templates are inline rather than split into one-level-deep references, and the skill exceeds the 50-line simple-skill exemption.

Description

22%

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 functions as a trigger guard only, omitting any statement of what the skill does. It is distinct as a command trigger but fails to convey capabilities or natural keyword coverage.

Suggestions

Add a capability clause stating what the skill does, e.g. 'Orchestrates parallel Sparky subagents to execute a development plan in dependency-ordered waves.'

Expand trigger terms beyond the literal command name to natural phrasings users might say, such as 'parallel tasks', 'run plan in parallel', or 'orchestrate subagents'.

Combine what and when into a single complete sentence, e.g. 'Orchestrates parallel Sparky subagents to execute a development plan in dependency-ordered waves. Use when the user runs /parallel-task-spark to implement a plan file.'

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

The description ('Only to be triggered by explicit /parallel-task-spark commands.') names no concrete actions or capabilities at all, matching the 'vague or no actions' anchor.

1 / 3

Completeness

It states when to trigger (the explicit command) but entirely omits what the skill does (orchestrate parallel subagents to execute plan tasks), so the 'what' is missing.

1 / 3

Trigger Term Quality

The slash-command name is a genuine natural trigger a user would type, but it is the sole term with no coverage of common variations like 'parallel tasks', 'orchestrate subagents', or 'run plan'.

2 / 3

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

Gating to an explicit named command gives low conflict risk, but the description never articulates the skill's niche or capability, so it is only somewhat distinguishable.

Validation

100%

Checks the skill against the spec for correct structure and formatting. All validation checks must pass before discovery and implementation can be scored.
