Quality

Content

86%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.

The content is a strong, executable orchestration workflow: it gives a concrete template, dependency-graph inference rules, and explicit validation/commit checkpoints. Its only meaningful gap is the thinness of the description that fronts it.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

The body is efficient and assumes Claude's competence — the dependency-inference rules and task template are tight — with only minor instances of templated prose that could be trimmed.

4 / 5

Actionability

It provides a fully executable task-prompt template plus concrete validation commands (RED→GREEN test runs), commit constraints ('NEVER PUSH. ONLY COMMIT.', stage only this task's files), and a copy-paste-ready summary template.

5 / 5

Workflow Clarity

The six-step process is clearly sequenced with validation checkpoints (graph validation, RED→GREEN gating, commit-then-log, retry/escalate, per-wave commit); a point is held back because cycle-recovery and retry feedback loops are described but not given an explicit re-validate-after-fix loop.

4 / 5

Progressive Disclosure

This is a single self-contained skill with well-organized sections (Process, Error Handling, Example Usage, Execution Summary) and no external bundle files needed, fitting the simple-skill exception for progressive disclosure.

Description

28%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.

The description is effectively a trigger guard rather than a capability statement: it specifies when the skill activates but omits what it does. This fails the core what/when completeness requirement.

Suggestions

Add a concrete capability clause, e.g. 'Parses plan files, infers task dependencies, and executes tasks via parallel subagents in dependency-ordered waves with RED→GREEN validation.'

Expand trigger terms to natural phrases users say, such as 'parallel tasks, run a plan in parallel, wave-based task execution, subagent orchestration'.

Lead with the 'what' before the 'when' so the description answers both halves, e.g. 'Executes a markdown development plan by launching parallel subagents in dependency-ordered waves. Use only via explicit /parallel-task commands.'

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

The description ("Only to be triggered by explicit /parallel-task commands") names the trigger mechanism but states no concrete actions or capabilities — it never says what the skill does, only how it is invoked.

2 / 5

Completeness

A weak "when" is present (trigger via /parallel-task) but the "what" is entirely missing — the description does not describe the skill's function, so it answers only half of the required pair.

2 / 5

Trigger Term Quality

It offers only the single phrase "parallel-task commands"; it lacks the natural synonyms or variations a user would actually say when needing this skill.

2 / 5

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

Gating invocation behind an explicit /parallel-task command reduces accidental triggering, but the description is too thin to be clearly distinguishable from other orchestration skills.
