Quality

Content

100%

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

The body is an exemplar of a lean forwarding instruction: it tells Claude exactly which skill to invoke, with which lens, and how to format the output, with no wasted tokens. For a single-purpose deprecated stub it is appropriately concise, actionable, and self-contained.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

Two lean sentences convey the entire directive with zero padding and no explanation of concepts Claude already knows, matching the 'lean and efficient; every token earns its place' anchor.

3 / 3

Actionability

It gives a concrete, executable directive — invoke bmad-review with only the 'adversarial' lens, pass through 'also_consider' areas, and present findings as a Markdown list with explicit format constraints (no severity/priority/ranking, no JSON), which is specific and actionable for an instruction-only skill.

3 / 3

Workflow Clarity

Per the rubric's simple-skill note, a single unambiguous action can score 3; here the single action (invoke bmad-review with the adversarial lens and format the output) is unambiguous and clearly sequenced.

3 / 3

Progressive Disclosure

This is a self-contained forwarding skill under 50 lines that appropriately needs no external references or sections, satisfying the rubric's note that simple skills with no need for references can score 3.

Description

35%

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 is an extremely terse deprecated-stub notice that conveys what it does (forward to bmad-review) but lacks natural trigger terms and any 'when to use' guidance. It scores moderately because it is not vague, yet it is far from a complete, well-triggered description.

Suggestions

Add a brief 'Use when...' clause so Claude knows when (if ever) this forwarding skill should activate instead of the real bmad-review skill.

Include a natural-language trigger term beyond the technical name 'bmad-review' (e.g., 'adversarial review') so users could discover it by intent.

Even for a deprecated stub, state the concrete capability in plain terms rather than relying solely on the word 'Deprecated'.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

The phrase 'forwards to bmad-review' names a concrete action (forwarding) and a target domain (bmad-review), matching the 'names domain and some actions' anchor, but it does not list multiple specific actions required for a 3.

2 / 3

Completeness

It states what the skill does ('forwards to bmad-review') but gives no 'Use when...' trigger guidance, so per the rubric completeness is capped at 2 for a missing explicit when clause.

2 / 3

Trigger Term Quality

The only keyword present is 'Deprecated' and the technical name 'bmad-review'; there are no natural capability terms a user would say to trigger this skill, matching the 'technical jargon or overly generic' anchor.

1 / 3

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

As a deprecated stub that forwards to bmad-review it is somewhat specific yet directly overlaps with the bmad-review skill, matching the 'could still overlap with similar skills' anchor.
