self-recommendation-strategy

Use when advocating for your own inclusion in a mission or opportunity after being overlooked. Applies the 'point in a sheath' (锥处囊中) metaphor — reframing obscurity as lack of opportunity rather than lack of ability, and requesting a chance for talent to emerge.

Quality

Content

100%

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

A tight, well-structured instruction skill: a clear sequenced procedure, a copy-paste argument template, and explicit validation checkpoints, all within a compact single-file body that needs no external references.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

The body is lean, assumes Claude's competence, and does not pad with concepts Claude already knows; the metaphor explanation earns its place as domain-specific, and every section is brief.

3 / 3

Actionability

For an instruction-only skill, guidance is concrete and actionable: a numbered procedure plus a copy-paste-ready 'Key Argument' script ('I have not yet been given the opportunity ... Place me in a position where I can act ...').

3 / 3

Workflow Clarity

Seven steps are clearly sequenced and a dedicated Validation section provides explicit checkpoints (check the reframe is not bragging, confirm the metaphor resonated, track performance after inclusion), matching the top anchor.

3 / 3

Progressive Disclosure

Under 50 lines with no external references needed, the skill is organized into clear sections (Overview, Steps, Key Argument, Expected Outcome, Validation); per the rubric's simple-skill note, this satisfies progressive disclosure without bundle 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 has an explicit trigger and a clear, distinctive niche, but its action language is strategic rather than concrete and leans on a specialized metaphor users would not naturally invoke.

Suggestions

Lead with concrete, plain-language actions a user would say (e.g. 'requesting a chance to prove yourself after being overlooked for a role or mission') before introducing the 'point in a sheath' metaphor.

Add common trigger variations users might actually type, such as 'asking for a chance', 'volunteering for a mission', or 'self-advocacy when passed over'.

Tighten 'your own inclusion' toward a third-person phrasing ('Advocates for inclusion ...') to match the accepted 'Use when ...' pattern and avoid second-person voice.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Names several actions ('advocating for your own inclusion', 'reframing obscurity as lack of opportunity', 'requesting a chance for talent to emerge') but they are strategic/abstract moves rather than the multiple concrete operations the top anchor calls for; the second-person 'your' is borderline but reflects the reflexive nature of the skill.

2 / 3

Completeness

An explicit 'Use when ...' clause states the trigger, and the rest of the description states what the skill does (reframe obscurity, request a chance), so both what and when are answered with explicit triggers.

3 / 3

Trigger Term Quality

Some natural trigger phrasing ('after being overlooked', 'inclusion in a mission or opportunity') is present, but the 'point in a sheath' (锥处囊中) metaphor is specialized jargon a user would not naturally say, and common variations like 'asking for a chance' or 'self-advocacy' are thin.

2 / 3

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

The niche is highly specific — self-recommendation after being overlooked, anchored to a named metaphor — making it unlikely to fire for unrelated skills or collide with generic persuasion tools.
