Quality

Content

85%

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

The body is concise, well-structured, and includes explicit validation checkpoints for the assessment workflow. Its main weakness is actionability: the observation and evaluation steps describe what to look for rather than giving specific, reproducible methods for gathering and rating evidence.

Suggestions

Replace abstract observation guidance ('Watch how the person handles various situations') with concrete evidence-gathering methods, e.g. specific situational probes or behavioral interview prompts per virtue.

Add a concrete rating scale or scoring rubric (e.g. 0–2 per virtue with behavioral descriptors) so 'Evaluate Consistency' produces reproducible results rather than subjective notes.

Show a short worked example mapping observed behaviors to a virtue count and position level to make the Match-to-Position step directly executable.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

The body is lean and well-organized with no concept-padding or explanation of things Claude already knows; every section (virtues, application guidelines, warning signs, validation) earns its place, matching the 'lean and efficient' anchor.

3 / 3

Actionability

The process is concrete in structure but gives vague direction ('Watch how the person handles various situations', 'Note balance between complementary traits') rather than specific, reproducible methods, fitting the 'some concrete guidance but incomplete' anchor and below the fully executable level.

2 / 3

Workflow Clarity

The Assessment Process is a clear four-step sequence (Observe → Evaluate → Match → Develop) and ends with an explicit Validation section containing concrete checkpoints (3/6/9 virtue thresholds, 有常 check), matching the 'clear sequence with explicit validation steps' anchor.

3 / 3

Progressive Disclosure

The skill is under 50 lines, single-purpose, and uses well-organized sections with no need for external references, so per the simple-skills scoring note progressive disclosure scores 3 on organization alone.

Description

85%

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 specific and clearly distinguishes the skill with an explicit 'Use when' clause. It loses a point only on trigger-term coverage, where common phrasings users might actually say are underrepresented.

Suggestions

Broaden trigger terms to include natural user phrasings like 'leadership assessment', 'hiring decisions', or 'promotion evaluation' alongside 'evaluating leadership character'.

Consider naming the framework earlier in the trigger clause so users unfamiliar with 'Gao Yao' can still match the skill on the leadership-evaluation trigger alone.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

The description lists multiple concrete assessment actions ('evaluating leadership character', 'matching candidates to positions of authority', 'assess balance, consistency, and suitability') tied to named governance tiers, matching the 'lists multiple specific concrete actions' anchor.

3 / 3

Completeness

It opens with an explicit 'Use when...' trigger and states what the skill does (applies the nine-virtues framework to assess suitability), clearly answering both what and when — not the level below, where 'when' is only implied.

3 / 3

Trigger Term Quality

'evaluating leadership character' and 'matching candidates to positions of authority' are natural terms, but common variations a user might say (e.g. 'hiring', 'promotion', 'leadership assessment') are missing, fitting the 'some relevant keywords but missing common variations' anchor.

2 / 3

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

The niche is clear (Gao Yao's nine virtues applied to leadership/candidate selection) with distinct triggers, making conflict with other skills unlikely; not the level-2 anchor that could still overlap with similar skills.
