Quality

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 is concise and identifies a clear niche (video frame/clip extraction via ffmpeg), making it distinctive. However, it lacks a 'Use when...' clause and could benefit from more trigger terms and specific capability details to help Claude reliably select it from a large skill set.

Suggestions

Add a 'Use when...' clause, e.g., 'Use when the user wants to extract frames, screenshots, or short clips from video files, or mentions ffmpeg, .mp4, .avi, or video processing.'

Expand trigger terms to include common user phrases like 'screenshot from video', 'thumbnail', 'keyframe', 'video snapshot', and file extensions like '.mp4', '.mkv', '.avi'.

List additional specific capabilities such as specifying time ranges, output formats, frame rates, or GIF creation to improve specificity.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Names the domain (videos) and some actions (extract frames, short clips), and mentions the tool (ffmpeg), but doesn't list more comprehensive actions like specifying time ranges, output formats, or frame rate selection.

2 / 3

Completeness

Describes what the skill does but has no 'Use when...' clause or equivalent explicit trigger guidance. Per the rubric, a missing 'Use when...' clause caps completeness at 2, and since the 'when' is entirely absent, this scores a 1.

1 / 3

Trigger Term Quality

Includes relevant keywords like 'frames', 'clips', 'videos', and 'ffmpeg' which users might naturally say, but misses common variations like 'screenshot from video', 'thumbnails', 'video extraction', 'keyframes', or file extensions like '.mp4', '.avi'.

2 / 3

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

The combination of video frame/clip extraction with ffmpeg is a clear, specific niche that is unlikely to conflict with other skills. The mention of ffmpeg and the specific actions of extracting frames or clips makes this quite distinctive.

Implementation

100%

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

This is an excellent, concise skill that does exactly what it needs to. It provides executable commands, clear options, and practical tips without any unnecessary verbosity. The skill is well-suited for its single-purpose nature.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

Very lean and efficient. No unnecessary explanations of what ffmpeg is or how video formats work. Every line serves a purpose.

3 / 3

Actionability

Provides concrete, copy-paste ready bash commands with clear flag usage (--time, --out) and specific examples for different use cases (first frame, timestamp, format choice).

3 / 3

Workflow Clarity

This is a simple, single-purpose skill (extract a frame). The two commands are unambiguous, and the notes section provides clear guidance on when to use each option. No multi-step destructive operations require validation checkpoints.

3 / 3

Progressive Disclosure

For a simple skill under 50 lines with a single task, the content is well-organized with a quick start section and notes section. No need for external references given the scope.
