Quality

Content

70%

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 clear, well-structured procedure with explicit sequencing and a validation checklist, appropriate for a simple instruction-only skill. It is weakest on actionability and conciseness, where several steps remain abstract and some sections restate the description.

Suggestions

Make abstract steps more actionable — e.g., specify how to assess value or what signals indicate a target is "capable".

Trim the Overview and Expected Outcomes sections, which largely restate the description and the steps, to recover token budget.

Convert the trailing Validation checklist into inline checkpoints after the relevant steps so verification is interleaved rather than retrospective.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

The steps are mostly lean, but the Overview ("A diplomatic procedure for acquiring talented individuals...") and Expected Outcomes section repeat content already implied by the description and steps, so it could be tightened.

2 / 3

Actionability

Some concrete specifics exist ("five ram skins for Baili Xi", "Frame the request as recovering a minor servant or fugitive"), but many steps stay abstract ("Locate capable individuals", "Assess their true value") without concrete how-to guidance.

2 / 3

Workflow Clarity

Six numbered steps give a clear sequence, and the Validation section provides an explicit post-process checklist (modest terms, extended discussions, recommendation request), satisfying the clear-sequence-with-validation anchor.

3 / 3

Progressive Disclosure

This is a simple single-purpose skill with no external references needed; its well-organized sections (Steps, Decision Points, Expected Outcomes, Validation) meet the simple-skill allowance for a top score.

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.

A strong description with explicit trigger guidance, concrete enumerated actions, and a clear distinctive niche. Its main weakness is trigger-term naturalness, where some phrasing reads as strategic jargon rather than user vocabulary.

Suggestions

Add plainer trigger synonyms a user might actually say (e.g., "hire away", "poach talent", "recruit an advisor from another state") alongside the existing phrasing.

Soften jargon like "low-value exchange tactics" and "concealment of intentions" into more conversational terms without losing precision.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

The description lists multiple concrete actions — "target identification, concealment of intentions, low-value exchange tactics, and capability assessment" — matching the anchor for naming several specific actions.

3 / 3

Completeness

It explicitly answers both what (the guided actions) and when ("Use when recruiting talented individuals from rival states through discreet negotiation"), satisfying the both-what-and-when anchor.

3 / 3

Trigger Term Quality

"recruiting talented individuals from rival states" is a natural trigger, but phrases like "low-value exchange tactics" and "concealment of intentions" are more jargon than terms a user would naturally say, missing common variations.

2 / 3

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

The niche — discreet talent recruitment from rival states — is highly specific with distinct triggers, making overlap with other skills unlikely.
