Quality

Content

71%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 well-structured, concise, and includes validation checkpoints for its three-step workflow. Its chief limitation is actionability: the steps describe goals more than concrete, executable moves for a conceptual domain.

Suggestions

Make each step more actionable by adding concrete sub-moves (e.g., under 'Seek Association', specify how to identify a durable eminent figure and how to position one's work relative to theirs).

Tighten the Overview so it does not restate the frontmatter description, or fold its content into the Core Principle section to remove the minor redundancy.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

The body is lean at roughly 37 lines with well-scoped sections and useful bilingual glosses rather than padding. It is not 5 because the Overview line partly restates the frontmatter description, a minor redundancy that could be trimmed.

4 / 5

Actionability

As an instruction-only skill it provides concrete examples (Bo Yi, Yan Hui) and named steps, but the steps remain high-level ('Connect with recognized sages, scholars, or leaders') without the specific detail needed to execute. It is not 4 because key 'how' details are missing, and not 2 because concrete examples and named actions are present.

3 / 5

Workflow Clarity

A clear three-step numbered sequence is paired with a dedicated Validation section containing three explicit checkpoints. It is not 5 because there are no feedback/retry loops, though the non-destructive domain makes that gap minor rather than disqualifying.

4 / 5

Progressive Disclosure

At under 50 lines with no need for external references, the skill is organized into clear sections (Overview, Core Principle, Steps, Examples, Expected Outcomes, Validation), matching the simple-skill exception that allows a 5 for well-organized content without external file references.

Description

75%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 complete and highly distinct, with an explicit 'Use when' clause and a clear statement of what the skill does. Its main weakness is trigger-term breadth and the abstractness of its stated actions, which limit specificity and natural-keyword coverage.

Suggestions

Add a few natural-language trigger synonyms (e.g., 'building a legacy', 'being remembered by history', 'becoming famous through association') to broaden the terms a user might actually say.

Sharpen the stated actions from abstract goals to more concrete moves (e.g., 'identify an eminent figure whose legacy is durable, position your work as an extension of theirs, and seek recorded mention') to lift specificity.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

The description names the domain and 2-3 concrete conceptual actions ('cultivating personal virtue', 'associating with eminent figures', 'ensure one's legacy is recorded and transmitted'), but coverage is not comprehensive. It sits below 4 because the actions are abstract rather than a list of several specific operations.

3 / 5

Completeness

It explicitly answers both 'what' ('Applies the 附骥尾 principle — cultivating personal virtue while associating with eminent figures to ensure one's legacy is recorded and transmitted') and 'when' ('Use when seeking lasting historical reputation or understanding how names endure across generations') with concrete trigger phrases. It clearly matches the 5 anchor rather than the 4 anchor's 'could be more explicit'.

5 / 5

Trigger Term Quality

It offers two relevant trigger phrases ('seeking lasting historical reputation', 'understanding how names endure across generations') but lacks common variations or synonyms for this niche domain. It is not 4 because keyword coverage is thin rather than merely missing a few natural terms.

3 / 5

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

The historical-reputation-through-association niche is highly specific with distinct triggers, making conflict with other skills minimal. It matches the 5 anchor's 'clear niche with distinct triggers; minimal conflict risk'.
