Discovery
40%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 (Codex custom agent TOML files) but is too terse. It lacks an explicit 'Use when...' clause and could benefit from listing more specific actions and natural trigger terms users might employ.
Suggestions
Add an explicit 'Use when...' clause, e.g., 'Use when the user asks to create, edit, or configure a Codex custom agent, or mentions agent TOML files.'
Expand the list of concrete actions beyond 'create and update'—e.g., 'validate agent configuration, set agent instructions, define tool permissions in standalone custom-agent TOML files.'
Include natural keyword variations such as 'agent config', 'agent setup', '.toml', 'define an agent' to improve trigger term coverage.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Specificity | Names the domain (Codex custom agents) and two actions (create and update), but doesn't list more granular capabilities like configuring specific TOML fields, validating agent configs, or managing agent properties. | 2 / 3 |
Completeness | Describes what it does (create and update custom agents via TOML files) but has no explicit 'Use when...' clause or equivalent trigger guidance, which per the rubric caps completeness at 2, and the 'what' is also fairly thin, placing this at 1. | 1 / 3 |
Trigger Term Quality | Includes relevant terms like 'Codex', 'custom agents', and 'TOML files', but misses natural variations users might say such as 'agent configuration', 'agent setup', '.toml', or 'define an agent'. | 2 / 3 |
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk | The combination of 'Codex custom agents' and 'TOML files' is a very specific niche that is unlikely to conflict with other skills. The domain is narrow and clearly defined. | 3 / 3 |

Implementation
85%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-structured, actionable skill with clear workflows and good progressive disclosure. The executable shell commands and JSON examples make it immediately usable. Minor conciseness improvements could be made by consolidating the overlapping 'Non-Negotiable Inputs' and 'Role file contract' sections, but overall the content is strong.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | Generally efficient but has some redundancy—the 'Role file contract' section partially restates information already covered in 'Non-Negotiable Inputs', and the `nickname_candidates` requirements could be more tightly integrated. Some sections like the default policy are lean and well-scoped. | 2 / 3 |
Actionability | Provides fully executable shell commands with concrete flags and values, a ready-to-run JSON example call, specific file paths, and clear validation steps (tomlq). The commands section is copy-paste ready with both minimal and extended examples. | 3 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | The workflow is clearly sequenced (collect inputs → resolve path → write file → validate → return example), includes a validation step (step 4: validate TOML parse and required keys), and the guardrails section provides error recovery guidance for common failure modes like unknown agent_type. | 3 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | Content is well-organized into logical sections (overview, inputs, contract, defaults, workflow, commands, guardrails, references) with clear one-level-deep references to external docs and templates. The skill stays at an appropriate overview level without becoming monolithic. | 3 / 3 |
