self-interest-persuasion-framework

Use when persuading powerful figures by appealing to their long-term self-interest. Analyzes the target's vulnerabilities (aging, lack of heirs, fading influence), formulates warnings, and presents solutions that create mutual benefit.

Quality

Content

75%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 skill body is a well-structured, mostly lean instruction-only framework with a clear six-step workflow and explicit verification checkpoints. It is actionable through template phrases and decision branches, though it could benefit from a concrete worked example and a failure-recovery loop.

Suggestions

Add one fully worked input→output example (e.g., a brief scenario → the formulated warning and solution) to lift actionability from concrete-guidance to copy-paste-ready.

Add a feedback/recovery branch in the Verification section for when the persuasion attempt fails (e.g., 'If the target rejects the warning: re-anchor on a different vulnerability and repeat from Step 3').

Tighten the diagnostic question bullets in Step 1 into declarative instructions to improve conciseness.

Dimension	Reasoning	Score
Conciseness	The body is reasonably lean and does not explain concepts Claude already knows, though a few step bullets (e.g., the diagnostic questions in Step 1) could be tightened further.	4 / 5
Actionability	Provides concrete, actionable guidance including template phrases ('Those who serve through beauty lose favor when beauty fades') and explicit decision branches ('If target seems unconcerned: emphasize the inevitability of decline'), with only minor gaps in fully worked input→output examples.	4 / 5
Workflow Clarity	A clearly sequenced six-step process is present with a dedicated numbered Verification section acting as checkpoints, though it lacks an explicit error-recovery feedback loop when persuasion fails.	4 / 5
Progressive Disclosure	Content is well-organized into clear, navigable sections (Overview, Steps, Key Phrases, Decision Points, Expected Outcomes, Verification) with no bundle files needed; slightly above the simple-skill line and all content is appropriately self-contained.	4 / 5
	Total	16 / 20 Passed

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 well-crafted, clearly stating both the trigger conditions and the concrete actions the skill performs in third person. It is concise, specific, and clearly distinguishable from generic persuasion skills.

Dimension	Reasoning	Score
Specificity	Lists several concrete actions ('Analyzes the target's vulnerabilities (aging, lack of heirs, fading influence), formulates warnings, and presents solutions that create mutual benefit') but the actions are somewhat abstract rather than fully concrete methods.	4 / 5
Completeness	Explicitly answers both 'what' (analyzes vulnerabilities, formulates warnings, presents solutions) and 'when' ('Use when persuading powerful figures by appealing to their long-term self-interest') with concrete trigger phrases.	5 / 5
Trigger Term Quality	Good keyword coverage with natural phrases like 'persuading powerful figures', 'self-interest', and 'vulnerabilities', though a few common synonyms (e.g., 'negotiation', 'convince') are missing.	4 / 5
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk	Mostly distinct niche ('appealing to their long-term self-interest' via vulnerability analysis) with minimal overlap risk, though it could conceivably overlap with general negotiation or persuasion skills.	4 / 5
	Total	17 / 20 Passed
