Quality

Content

81%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.

A well-structured, actionable skill body with clear sequencing, explicit validation, and feedback loops for a destructive file-writing task. The main gap is the absence of a concrete filled TOML override example to make composition fully copy-paste ready.

Suggestions

Add one short filled-in example override TOML (e.g., a bmad-agent-pm.user.toml with persistent_facts) under Step 4 so composition is concrete rather than described.

Trim the cross-cutting surface heuristics in Step 3 to the decision rule plus one example each, reducing token cost without losing the routing logic.

Consider extracting the merge-semantics table (scalars/append arrays/keyed arrays) into a short reference block or referenced file so the main flow reads faster.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

Terse bullets and command blocks assume Claude's competence with little padding; a few explanatory passages (e.g., the cross-cutting heuristics) could be tightened but earn their place, sitting above 3 and just below 5.

4 / 5

Actionability

Provides copy-paste-ready `uv run` commands and explicit merge semantics, but TOML composition lacks a filled-in example override showing a complete file, leaving a minor gap versus fully executable coverage.

4 / 5

Workflow Clarity

Steps 1–6 are clearly sequenced with preflight checks, an explicit Step 6 verify via the resolver, and a feedback loop ("re-enter Step 4 with the verify output as context") for a file-writing operation — matching the 5 anchor.

5 / 5

Progressive Disclosure

Well-organized sections with one-level-deep references to a real bundle script (list_customizable_skills.py) and an external guide; mostly inline process content is appropriate, but little is split across files, keeping it just below the 5 anchor.

Description

95%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, well-constructed description that answers both what and when with concrete, user-natural trigger phrases and a clearly bounded BMad niche. The only minor gap is breadth of named actions (author/update but not verify or remove, though verify is implied by the body).

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

"Authors and updates customization overrides" names two concrete actions on a specific artifact (override files) within a defined domain, sitting above the 3-anchor (one-to-two generic actions) due to its precision but below 5 (no broader coverage of actions like verifying or removing).

4 / 5

Completeness

Clearly states what it does ("Authors and updates customization overrides for installed BMad skills") and when to use it ("Use when the user says...") with concrete trigger phrases, matching the 5 anchor.

5 / 5

Trigger Term Quality

Explicitly quotes natural phrases users would say — 'customize bmad', 'override a skill', 'change agent behavior', 'customize a workflow' — giving comprehensive coverage of likely invocations.

5 / 5

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

The BMad-specific scope and quoted trigger phrases carve a clear niche with minimal overlap risk against other skills.
