Quality

Content

75%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-organized, instruction-only skill with concrete commands, an exact CSV schema, and explicit completion-detection guardrails. It is tight and actionable, with only minor room to tighten wording and to formalize the validation feedback loop into an ordered checklist.

Suggestions

Tighten the Desired Outcomes list — several bullets restate the same orientation idea and could be consolidated to reduce tokens.

Promote the completion-detection rules into an explicit ordered checklist (detect → inspect artifact → if uncertain, ask user) so the validation feedback loop is a clear workflow rather than prose.

If the skill grows, move the CSV column-by-column interpretation into a one-level-deep reference file so the overview stays lean.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

The body is lean and sectioned (Purpose, Desired Outcomes, Data Sources, CSV Interpretation, Response Format, Constraints) without explaining concepts Claude already knows, matching 'efficient; minor instances of over-explanation'; not a 5 because a few bullets (e.g., the desired-outcomes list) could be tightened without losing meaning.

4 / 5

Actionability

Quotes concrete executable guidance: 'Run uv run {project-root}/_bmad/scripts/resolve_config.py --project-root {project-root}', an exact CSV header line, and a precise response format template — mostly executable guidance; not a 5 because completion-detection and recommendation logic are described as rules rather than a fully copy-paste-ready procedure.

4 / 5

Workflow Clarity

There is a clear sequence (data sources → CSV interpretation → completion detection → response format) with an explicit checkpoint: 'When completion cannot be determined reliably, say so and ask the user; do not recommend advancing based on file presence alone'; not a 5 because the validation/feedback loop is described narratively rather than as an ordered validate→fix→retry checklist.

4 / 5

Progressive Disclosure

No bundle files exist and the content is well-organized into clearly signaled sections with explicit external file paths, matching 'good structure; most content appropriately placed'; not a 5 because at ~70 lines it exceeds the under-50-line simple-skill exception and remains a single monolithic file rather than splitting detail into one-level-deep references.

Description

87%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, third-person description that names concrete actions, gives explicit natural trigger phrases, and answers both 'what' and 'when'. The only minor gap is slightly thinner synonym coverage on the trigger side.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Quotes 'Analyzes current state and user query to answer BMad questions or recommend the next skill(s) to use' — it lists several concrete actions (analyze state/query, answer questions, recommend skills), matching the 'several specific actions; minor gaps' anchor; not a 3 because it goes beyond 1-2 actions, not a 5 because coverage of the help domain is not exhaustive.

4 / 5

Completeness

It explicitly answers 'what' ('Analyzes current state and user query to answer BMad questions or recommend the next skill(s)') and 'when' ('Use when user asks for help, bmad help, what to do next, or what to start with in BMad') with concrete trigger phrases, matching the top anchor; clearly above the 4 anchor where 'when' could be more specific.

5 / 5

Trigger Term Quality

Quotes 'help, bmad help, what to do next, or what to start with in BMad' — these are natural phrases a user would actually say, giving good keyword coverage; not a 5 because a few common variations or synonyms are absent.

4 / 5

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

The 'BMad' niche plus 'bmad help' / 'what to start with in BMad' triggers carve a clear niche with minimal conflict risk against unrelated skills; not a 4 because the triggers are tightly scoped to this domain rather than merely 'mostly distinct'.
