Quality

Content

57%

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

The skill is concise and well-organized for a conceptual principle, but its guidance is largely abstract and lacks concrete, executable direction, capping actionability and leaving validation checkpoints implicit. Workflow clarity is present but would benefit from explicit pass/fail gates.

Suggestions

Convert abstract directives into concrete actions, e.g. 'Identify 2-3 eminent figures whose legacy is documented in enduring texts, then draft a short note linking the virtue to that figure's record'.

Make the Validation section into explicit checkable gates (e.g. 'Checklist: ☐ virtue evidenced by a specific deed ☐ the eminent figure appears in a source older than 100 years ☐ the link is written into a stable record').

Add at least one fully worked example beyond named figures (Bo Yi, Yan Hui) showing the inputs and the resulting recorded association.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

The body is lean (~38 lines) and does not pad concepts Claude already knows; each section (Steps, Examples, Expected Outcomes, Validation) earns its place, matching the 'lean and efficient' anchor.

3 / 3

Actionability

Guidance is abstract and describes rather than instructs — 'Practice moral conduct (砥行)', 'Connect with recognized sages', 'Position oneself in relation to their legacy' — with no concrete, executable steps, fitting the level-1 'vague or abstract; describes rather than instructs' anchor.

1 / 3

Workflow Clarity

The three steps are sequenced and a Validation section exists, but the checkpoints are vague and implicit ('Confirm... genuinely cultivated', 'Verify... durable') rather than explicit pass/fail gates, so it sits at the level-2 'steps listed but validation gaps' anchor rather than level 3.

2 / 3

Progressive Disclosure

This is a simple single-purpose skill under 50 lines with no external references; the body is organized into clear, well-signaled sections, which per the rubric's simple-skills note earns a 3 without separate files.

Description

75%

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 well-structured with an explicit 'Use when...' trigger and a distinctive niche, scoring well on completeness and distinctiveness. It is somewhat held back by abstract rather than concrete action wording and reliance on the specialized 附骥尾 term.

Suggestions

Replace abstract verbs ('cultivating personal virtue', 'associating with eminent figures') with more concrete actions a user could point to, e.g. 'drafts biographical notes tying a figure to a renowned sage's legacy'.

Add everyday synonyms alongside the 附骥尾 term (e.g. 'legacy-building, name preservation, historical fame') so users trigger it with common phrasings.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Names the domain (lasting reputation) and a few actions — 'cultivating personal virtue', 'associating with eminent figures', 'ensure one's legacy is recorded' — but these remain abstract rather than concrete, so not the level 3 'multiple specific concrete actions' anchor.

2 / 3

Completeness

It explicitly states both what the skill does ('cultivating personal virtue while associating with eminent figures to ensure one's legacy is recorded and transmitted') and when to use it ('Use when seeking lasting historical reputation...'), matching the level-3 'clearly answers both what AND when' anchor.

3 / 3

Trigger Term Quality

The clause 'Use when seeking lasting historical reputation or understanding how names endure across generations' offers a natural trigger phrase, but it relies on the jargon term 附骥尾 and lacks common synonym variations, so it sits between anchors 2 and 3.

2 / 3

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

The niche is highly specific (historical reputation via association with eminent figures) and unlikely to overlap with other skills, fitting the 'clear niche with distinct triggers; unlikely to conflict' anchor.
