Quality

Content

72%

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

The content is concise and well-structured with concrete tokens, scales, and a clear output template, but it would be more actionable with a worked example and more rigorous with explicit validation checkpoints in the authoring workflow.

Suggestions

Add one short worked example of finished design-system guidance so the expected output is concrete and copy-paste ready.

Insert an explicit validation checkpoint in the workflow (e.g., 'Before finalizing, verify every rule is anchored to a token, threshold, or example — re-check if not') to create a validate-fix-retry loop.

Tie the abstract Quality Gates to the QA checklist step so gates become executable review checks rather than aspirations.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

The body is lean and tightly organized into short bulleted sections with no padding or explanation of concepts Claude already knows; every section carries actionable content.

3 / 3

Actionability

Provides concrete anchors (typography scale '12/14/16/20/24/32', hex color tokens, explicit state list, output structure) but never shows a worked example of actual generated guidance, leaving a key detail for an authoring skill implicit.

2 / 3

Workflow Clarity

The 'Guideline Authoring Workflow' gives a clear 6-step sequence, but there are no validation checkpoints or feedback loops between steps; the Quality Gates are abstract criteria rather than executable gates.

2 / 3

Progressive Disclosure

A single self-contained file with well-organized, clearly headed sections and no nested references; no external bundle files are needed for a skill of this scope.

Description

50%

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 conveys a clear stylistic identity but is attribute-focused rather than action-focused and omits any when-to-use guidance. It reads as a style tag rather than a trigger-rich capability statement.

Suggestions

Lead with concrete actions in third person (e.g., 'Authors shadcn-style design-system guidelines with tokens, component anatomy, and accessibility criteria').

Add an explicit 'Use when...' clause naming natural trigger terms (e.g., 'Use when the user asks for shadcn/ui-style components, design tokens, or design-system guidance').

Include common natural variations users would say ('shadcn components', 'shadcn theme', 'design tokens') to improve trigger coverage.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Names the domain ('Shadcn/ui-inspired design') and several attributes ('minimal, clean components', 'monochrome palette', 'utility-first patterns'), but lists no concrete actions — it describes a style rather than what the skill does.

2 / 3

Completeness

States what the skill produces (the design style/guidance) but provides no 'Use when...' clause or equivalent trigger, so the 'when' is entirely missing.

2 / 3

Trigger Term Quality

Includes recognizable terms like 'Shadcn/ui-inspired' and 'utility-first patterns', but lacks common natural variations a user would say and omits any explicit trigger phrase.

2 / 3

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

The shadcn niche is fairly specific, but the attribute-based phrasing and absence of distinct trigger language means it could still overlap with other design-system skills.
