board-minutes

Drafts board or committee meeting minutes in your house format. Auto-detects upcoming board and committee meetings from your calendar, asks for the agenda and any slides or pre-read materials, and produces a complete draft in the format learned from your seed minutes. Also handles written consents in lieu of meetings. Trigger: "board minutes", "draft minutes", "upcoming board meeting", "committee minutes", "written consent", or calendar detection of an upcoming board or committee event.

Quality

Content

77%Weight 40%Scale 1-3

Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.

A highly actionable, well-sequenced legal-drafting skill with strong validation gates and copy-paste templates, scoring well on actionability and workflow clarity. Its weaknesses are token efficiency (a repeatedly inlined long path and a motivational paragraph) and a monolithic single-file structure that underuses progressive disclosure.

Suggestions

Define the long plugin config path once near the top (e.g., as a short alias or a single 'context path' note) and reuse it, instead of repeating '~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/corporate-legal/CLAUDE.md' verbatim throughout.

Trim the 'Purpose' paragraph ('Board minutes are a legal record...') to a single line or remove it — it motivates the task with context Claude already has; lead with the actionable process instead.

Move the full 'Standard structure' minutes template and the review checklist into a reference file (e.g., references/template.md) and link to it from SKILL.md, so the main file is a leaner overview and detailed material is progressively disclosed one level deep.

Dimension	Reasoning	Score
Conciseness	Mostly efficient and directive (steps, templates, drafting notes, checklists) but the full plugin path '~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/corporate-legal/CLAUDE.md' is repeated verbatim roughly eight times, and the 'Purpose' paragraph ('Board minutes are a legal record...') restates context Claude already knows. Not a 3 because not every token earns its place; not a 1 because the bulk is lean, actionable guidance rather than padded concept explanation.	2 / 3
Actionability	Provides copy-paste-ready templates (header block, agenda-item structure, resolution language), exact quoted user prompts, and a checkbox review checklist — concrete and executable instruction-only guidance. Not a 2 because the guidance is complete and specific rather than vague or pseudocode.	3 / 3
Workflow Clarity	Clear Step 1→5 sequence with explicit validation checkpoints: quorum check ('If not: stop and flag before drafting'), a consequential-action adoption gate requiring an explicit yes, and a pre-circulation review checklist. Not a 2 because validation/feedback gates are explicit rather than missing or implicit.	3 / 3
Progressive Disclosure	Well-organized into clear sections (Matter context, Load context, Steps 1–5, Written consents, What this skill does not do) with no deeply nested references, but it is a monolithic ~230-line SKILL.md with the full minutes template and review checklist inline and no bundle files to progressively disclose detail. Not a 3 because content that could be split (template, checklist) is not separated into one-level-deep reference files; not a 1 because sectioning is clear and there is no nested-reference maze.	2 / 3

Description

90%Weight 40%Scale 1-3

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, specific description with an explicit Trigger clause answering both what and when, and well-chosen natural trigger terms for a distinctive legal niche. The only weakness is repeated second-person possessive phrasing, which the rubric penalizes under the third-person-voice rule.

Suggestions

Replace second-person possessives ('your house format', 'your calendar', 'your seed minutes') with third-person phrasing such as 'the user's house format' to satisfy the third-person-voice guideline and recover the specificity penalty.

Optionally tighten 'asks for the agenda and any slides or pre-read materials, and produces a complete draft in the format learned from your seed minutes' into a single leaner clause so every token earns its place.

Dimension	Reasoning	Score
Specificity	Lists multiple concrete actions ('Drafts board or committee meeting minutes', 'Auto-detects upcoming board and committee meetings from your calendar', 'asks for the agenda and any slides or pre-read materials', 'handles written consents in lieu of meetings'), which is a level-3 base, but the repeated second-person possessives ('your house format', 'your calendar', 'your seed minutes') trigger the rubric's -1 third-person-voice penalty. Not a 3 because of that voice penalty; not a 1 because the action verbs are concrete and domain-specific.	2 / 3
Completeness	Explicitly answers what ('Drafts... minutes', 'Auto-detects', 'handles written consents') and when (an explicit 'Trigger:' clause with multiple trigger phrases and calendar detection). Not a 2 because the when is explicit, not merely implied.	3 / 3
Trigger Term Quality	The Trigger clause lists natural phrases a user would actually say — 'board minutes', 'draft minutes', 'upcoming board meeting', 'committee minutes', 'written consent' — plus calendar detection, giving good coverage. Not a 2 because common variations are well represented rather than partially missing.	3 / 3
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk	A clear legal niche (board/committee minutes, written consents) with distinctive triggers unlikely to fire for unrelated skills. Not a 2 because the domain and triggers are specific enough to avoid overlap with general-purpose skills.	3 / 3
