Quality

Content

78%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.

The body is a well-organized, concise, instruction-only workflow with a concrete example and an explicit validation section. It scores highly across all dimensions, with the only soft spot being the absence of explicit error-recovery feedback loops in the workflow.

Suggestions

Add a short feedback-loop note in the Validation section for what to do when a check fails (e.g., revise obligations until concrete, re-assess strength if projections are inflated) to push workflow_clarity toward 5.

Consider trimming or merging the 'Expected Outcome' line, which partially restates the Overview, to tighten conciseness further.

Optionally add one more concrete worked example for the per-party interest-addressing step to broaden actionability coverage.

Dimension	Reasoning	Score
Conciseness	The body is lean — terse bullet steps, no padding or re-explanation of concepts Claude already knows — with only minor trimmable redundancy (the 'Expected Outcome' line partly restates earlier content), fitting 'efficient; minor instances of over-explanation that could be trimmed'.	4 / 5
Actionability	Provides concrete, specific guidance including a worked example ('If Qin attacks Chu, Qi and Wei send troops; Han cuts supply lines; Zhao crosses the river') and per-party addressing tactics; as an instruction-only skill this is mostly executable guidance with minor gaps, not vague abstraction.	4 / 5
Workflow Clarity	Five steps are clearly sequenced and a dedicated Validation section supplies explicit verification checks (concreteness of obligations, realism of strength assessment, enforcement mechanisms), giving a clear sequence with most checkpoints present; it stops short of explicit error-recovery feedback loops.	4 / 5
Progressive Disclosure	A simple, single-purpose skill under 50 lines with no external references needed; content is well-organized into clearly headed sections (Overview, Steps, Key Insight, Validation), so the simple-skill exception applies and structure is fully clear.	5 / 5

Description

83%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.

The description is strong: it explicitly states both what the skill does and when to use it, in third person, with concrete actions and natural trigger terms. It is a clear, distinct niche with minimal conflict risk.

Dimension	Reasoning	Score
Specificity	Names the domain (coalitions/alliances) and lists several concrete actions — 'analyzing each party's geography, military strength, and fears, then proposing concrete mutual defense terms with specific obligations per member' — with only minor coverage gaps, fitting the 'lists several specific actions; minor gaps' anchor.	4 / 5
Completeness	Explicitly answers both what ('Applies Su Qin's 合纵 strategy — analyzing... then proposing concrete mutual defense terms with specific obligations per member') and when ('Use when building multi-state coalitions or diplomatic alliances against a dominant threat') with concrete trigger phrases, matching the top anchor.	5 / 5
Trigger Term Quality	Includes natural terms a user would say — 'building multi-state coalitions', 'diplomatic alliances', 'dominant threat' — giving good keyword coverage, though a few common synonyms (treaty, pact, negotiation) are absent, matching 'good keyword coverage; a few natural terms missing'.	4 / 5
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk	Occupies a clear niche (coalition/alliance diplomacy) with distinct triggers and low overlap risk; minor residual overlap with general negotiation or strategy skills keeps it just below the fully-distinct anchor.	4 / 5
