strategic-location-selection

Use when evaluating locations for settlement, refuge, or strategic positioning. Covers geographic advantages, political landscape assessment, population disposition analysis, and long-term power projection, with decision rules to reject sites near rising powers and favor those with alienated populations.

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 content is well-structured with a clear sequenced workflow and explicit verification checkpoints, and its organization suits a compact single-purpose skill. The weakest areas are actionability and conciseness: the decision rules are stated abstractly without operational heuristics or a worked example, and some sections repeat criteria already covered.

Suggestions

Add concrete, operational heuristics for judging the decision rules — e.g. criteria/indicators for what makes a power 'inevitably rising' and what signals 'alienated' population — or a lightweight scoring scheme.

Include one short worked example walking a candidate location through the four dimensions and the reject/favor decision rules.

Trim redundancy between Step 4, Decision Points, and Expected Outcomes so each section adds distinct information.

Dimension	Reasoning	Score
Conciseness	The body is mostly lean with structured lists and no concept over-explanation, but the Decision Points and Expected Outcomes sections restate criteria already in Step 4, and the Overview sentence echoes the description, so it could be tightened further.	2 / 3
Actionability	As an instruction skill it is excused from code, and it gives concrete decision rules (e.g. 'near an inevitably rising power: REJECT'), but it lacks operational heuristics — no definition of how to judge an 'inevitably rising power,' no scoring scheme, and no worked example — leaving key details incomplete.	2 / 3
Workflow Clarity	It provides a clear five-step sequence with an explicit Verification section containing validation checkpoints ('confirm each candidate evaluated across all four dimensions,' 'validate locations near rising powers were rejected'), matching the anchor for clear sequence with explicit validation.	3 / 3
Progressive Disclosure	At under 50 lines, single-purpose, with no external bundle files (references/scripts/assets absent) and well-organized sections, it qualifies for the simple-skill exception and needs no external references.	3 / 3

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.

The description is strong: specific, complete with an explicit trigger, and clearly distinctive. Its main weakness is trigger-term coverage, which captures the core use cases but misses several natural phrasings a user might say.

Suggestions

Broaden the 'Use when' clause with natural phrasings users actually say, e.g. 'Use when choosing where to settle or relocate, finding a defensible refuge, or picking a base of operations.'

Add common-synonym triggers such as 'relocation,' 'base of operations,' or 'safe location' to improve recall.

Dimension	Reasoning	Score
Specificity	The description lists multiple concrete actions — geographic advantages, political landscape assessment, population disposition analysis, long-term power projection, and decision rules to reject/favor sites — matching the anchor for listing several specific concrete actions.	3 / 3
Completeness	It explicitly answers both what the skill does (geography, politics, population, power projection, decision rules) and when to use it via a clear 'Use when' clause, satisfying the anchor for explicit what-and-when.	3 / 3
Trigger Term Quality	It includes some natural terms a user might say ('settlement, refuge, or strategic positioning') but omits common variations like 'relocation,' 'choosing a base,' or 'finding a safe location,' so coverage is incomplete rather than comprehensive.	2 / 3
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk	The niche — strategic location selection with rules to reject rising powers and favor alienated populations — is distinct and unlikely to trigger for the wrong skill, matching the clear-niche anchor.	3 / 3
