Quality

Content

100%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.

An exceptionally tight, self-contained instruction skill: a numbered protocol with explicit failure handling, copy-paste-ready citation formats and phrasings, and strong prompt-injection and evidence-handling rules with zero padding. Nothing material is missing or misplaced.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

Lean and dense throughout: no concept explanations, no filler; every line is instruction or concrete decision criteria ('An answer worth keeping is one that took real work to assemble, that you would not want to re-derive...'). Assumes Claude's competence — anchor 5, not 4, since no section contains trimming candidates.

5 / 5

Actionability

Fully executable instruction-only guidance: exact citation formats ('(wiki/concepts/x.md)', '(raw/<file>)', '<repo>@<sha>:<path>:<line>'), a copy-paste utterance ('/kb-ingest last-answer'), a page naming pattern (wiki/questions/YYYY-MM-DD-<slug>.md), and concrete commands ('Read ./CLAUDE.md, then wiki/index.md', 'Grep wiki/'). Anchor 5.

5 / 5

Workflow Clarity

A 7-step sequenced Protocol with explicit error-recovery checkpoints at every fragile point: 'If either is missing, report that', 'If the revision is unavailable, report the gap', 'If two pages disagree, show both with citations', plus the step-6 gap statement. The skill is read-only so the destructive/batch cap does not apply; validation coverage is complete, matching anchor 5 rather than 4.

5 / 5

Progressive Disclosure

A single self-contained ~52-line file with well-organized sections (overview, Protocol, Rules); no bundle files exist and none are needed, so per the rubric's simple-skill guideline well-organized sections alone warrant anchor 5.

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.

A strong description with an explicit 'Use for...' clause containing concrete, natural trigger phrases and a clearly stated read-only capability with citations. Its only weaknesses are slightly broad trigger terms ('query') and action coverage that stops just short of comprehensive.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Names the domain and several concrete actions — 'Answer a question from a knowledge base, read-only, with citations to wiki pages and raw sources' — with minor gaps (e.g., code-repo fallback is not mentioned as an action). Fits anchor 4 better than 3 (more than 1-2 actions) and better than 5 (coverage is not comprehensive).

4 / 5

Completeness

Explicitly answers both: 'what' ('Answer a question from a knowledge base, read-only, with citations to wiki pages and raw sources') and 'when' with concrete trigger phrases ('Use for any question about the wiki's subject matter, or when the user says ask the wiki, what do we know about, or query'). Direct match to the anchor-5 example structure.

5 / 5

Trigger Term Quality

Includes natural phrases users would actually say — 'ask the wiki', 'what do we know about', 'query' — plus 'any question about the wiki's subject matter'. Good coverage, but common variations like 'search the wiki' or 'look up' are missing, so it falls short of anchor 5.

4 / 5

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

Clear niche (read-only wiki Q&A with citations, cleanly separated from /kb-ingest filing), but 'query' and 'any question about the wiki's subject matter' are broad enough to overlap with other question-answering skills — minor overlap risk per anchor 4.
