Quality

Content

100%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.

An exemplary minimal skill body: executable commands for all common invocation modes, precise exit-code documentation with a remediation loop for the OCR failure case, and guidance on when to prefer libraries over the CLI — all in a lean, well-organized form with no filler.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

The body is lean and efficient with zero padding — every line teaches CLI-specific knowledge Claude cannot know (exit codes, 'The CLI never prompts', 'Rerun with --ocr hosted', stdin mode), and no concepts Claude already knows are explained, matching the score-5 anchor.

5 / 5

Actionability

Three copy-paste-ready commands cover the common cases (stdout, file output via -o, stdin with --format csv), plus concrete exit-code semantics (0/1/2/3), an exact remediation command ('--ocr hosted'), and named library packages per ecosystem — fully executable guidance matching the score-5 anchor.

5 / 5

Workflow Clarity

This is a simple single-purpose skill where the single action (run the anydoc CLI) is unambiguous, satisfying the simple-skill exception; it additionally provides explicit validation via exit codes and an error-recovery path (exit 3 → rerun with --ocr hosted), exceeding the unambiguous-single-action bar.

5 / 5

Progressive Disclosure

The skill is under 50 lines with no need for external references, and the content is well organized (usage commands block followed by a numbered rules list), which the rubric's guidance explicitly scores as 5 for simple skills with well-organized sections.

Description

91%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.

A strong description: it states one concrete capability with exhaustive format coverage and pairs it with an explicit, naturally phrased 'Use when' trigger clause. Its only weaknesses are single-action scope and some overlap risk with generic PDF-extraction skills.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

The single concrete action 'Convert … to GitHub-Flavored Markdown' is fully specified with exhaustive, comprehensive format coverage (.doc, .docx, .ppt, .pptx, .xls, .xlsx, .odt, .ods, .odp, RTF, EPUB, CSV, PDF), which is noticeably above the score-3 anchor ('1-2 concrete actions, but not comprehensive'); it falls short of a 5 only because it lists one action rather than multiple distinct capabilities.

4 / 5

Completeness

It clearly and explicitly answers both 'what' ('Convert Word … and PDF files to GitHub-Flavored Markdown') and 'when' ('Use when a task needs the contents of an office document, spreadsheet, presentation, ebook, or PDF you cannot read directly') with concrete trigger phrases, exactly matching the score-5 anchor example.

5 / 5

Trigger Term Quality

The description covers natural terms comprehensively including synonyms ('office document, spreadsheet, presentation, ebook') and specific file extensions (.doc, .docx, .ppt, .pptx, .xls, .xlsx, .odt, .ods, .odp, .pdf), matching the score-5 anchor; 'you cannot read directly' also mirrors how a user would phrase the need.

5 / 5

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

The office-document-to-Markdown conversion niche is mostly distinct with clear triggers, but 'PDF' is a broad keyword that overlaps closely related PDF-extraction skills, matching the score-4 anchor ('minor overlap risk with closely related skills') rather than the minimal-conflict score-5 anchor.
