start

Set up your bio-research environment and explore available tools. Use when first getting oriented with the plugin, checking which literature, drug-discovery, or visualization MCP servers are connected, or surveying available analysis skills before starting a new project.

Quality

Content

58%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.

A cleanly organized orientation workflow with clear sequencing and a sensible external reference. Its main weakness is actionability: the central instruction to check connected MCP servers lacks a concrete mechanism, and the placeholder notation is left unexplained.

Suggestions

Specify how to detect connected MCP servers (e.g., the exact tool-listing command or call) rather than only saying 'list available tools'.

Explain or strip the '~~' strikethrough placeholders in the server lists so the displayed text is unambiguous.

Add an explicit checkpoint after Step 2 confirming that missing servers were reported before moving to skills.

Dimension	Reasoning	Score
Conciseness	The body is lean and action-oriented with no concept re-explanation; the verbatim welcome block and skill table earn their tokens, though the welcome text is slightly long.	4 / 5
Actionability	Provides concrete outputs (grouped server lists, skill table, real install URLs) but 'Test which MCP servers are connected by listing available tools' gives no actual mechanism or command, and the unexplained '~~' strikethrough placeholders are an incomplete detail.	3 / 5
Workflow Clarity	A clear five-step sequence with implicit checkpoints ('Report which servers are connected and which are not yet set up', 'Wait for the user's response'), falling short of fully explicit validation.	4 / 5
Progressive Disclosure	Well-organized sections with one clearly signaled one-level-deep reference ([CONNECTORS.md](../../CONNECTORS.md)); no bundle files exist, so structure carries the score with minor gaps.	4 / 5

Description

93%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, well-structured description that clearly states both capability and trigger conditions in third person. It is concise and concrete, with only minor room to add synonyms or tighter trigger scoping.

Dimension	Reasoning	Score
Specificity	Names multiple concrete actions ('Set up your bio-research environment', 'explore available tools', 'checking which… servers are connected', 'surveying available analysis skills') with comprehensive coverage for an orientation skill.	5 / 5
Completeness	Explicitly answers both what ('Set up… environment and explore available tools') and when ('Use when first getting oriented… or surveying available analysis skills before starting a new project') with concrete triggers.	5 / 5
Trigger Term Quality	Includes natural phrases users would say ('first getting oriented', 'checking which… servers are connected', 'surveying… skills'), but lacks synonyms or file-extension variants that would warrant a 5.	4 / 5
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk	Scoped to the bio-research plugin orientation niche with distinct triggers, but the broad 'explore available tools' framing carries minor overlap risk with adjacent plugin skills.	4 / 5
