Quality

Content

77%

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

A well-sequenced, actionable workflow with strong validation checkpoints, held back by some redundancy and a monolithic inline structure that references a checklist.md file not present in the bundle.

Suggestions

De-duplicate the Minor/Moderate/Major scope classification — define it once and reference it from both Step 4 Section 5 and Step 5 to tighten conciseness.

Move the activation/config-loading preamble and path conventions into a separate referenced file so SKILL.md stays a lean overview, improving progressive disclosure.

Ensure checklist.md is actually bundled (or inline its key sections) so the Step 2 reference resolves to a real file.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

The body is mostly efficient procedural detail specific to the bmad framework, but it carries redundancy — the Minor/Moderate/Major scope classification is described in both Step 4 Section 5 and again in Step 5 — and some config/language instructions are restated, so it could be tightened.

2 / 3

Actionability

It provides executable commands (the resolve_customization.py invocations), a concrete input-file table with load strategies, an explicit output path, and a copy-paste-ready old→new story edit example with rationale.

3 / 3

Workflow Clarity

Six numbered steps are clearly sequenced with explicit HALT validation checkpoints, approval/revise feedback loops, and goto re-entry points (Step 5 revisits Steps 3/4), giving clear validation and error-recovery paths.

3 / 3

Progressive Disclosure

It signals a one-level-deep reference to checklist.md, but no bundle files exist in references/scripts/assets to verify it, and the body itself is a ~295-line monolithic inline <workflow> block with config-loading and path conventions that could be split out.

Description

90%

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, third-person description with explicit 'Use when' trigger guidance and a clear niche, weakened only by listing a single broad action rather than multiple concrete capabilities.

Suggestions

Expand the 'what' clause with 2-3 concrete actions (e.g., 'analyze impact across PRD, epics, architecture, and UX, draft edit proposals, and route a Sprint Change Proposal') to lift specificity from 2 to 3.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

It names the domain ('significant changes during sprint execution') and a single broad action ('Manage'), but does not list multiple concrete actions like analyzing impact, drafting proposals, or routing handoffs, so it stops at naming domain and some actions rather than a comprehensive concrete list.

2 / 3

Completeness

It explicitly answers both what ('Manage significant changes during sprint execution') and when ('Use when the user says "correct course" or "propose sprint change"') with an explicit trigger clause.

3 / 3

Trigger Term Quality

It quotes two natural phrases a user would plausibly say — "correct course" and "propose sprint change" — giving good coverage of natural trigger terms for this niche workflow.

3 / 3

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

The sprint change-management niche plus distinctive quoted triggers ('correct course', 'propose sprint change') make it unlikely to fire for unrelated skills.
