Quality

Content

71%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.

The body is a well-structured, actionable forwarding shim with a clear step sequence and clean organization. Its main weakness is duplicated verbosity in the deprecation notice and customization field lists.

Suggestions

Dedupe the customization field list: state it once and reference it from the deprecation notice and step 4 instead of repeating it.

Add a brief error-recovery note for the resolve_customization.py and config-load steps (e.g. what to do if config.yaml is absent).

Specify the concrete mechanism for invoking bmad-prd (e.g. a literal activation call) so the forwarding step is copy-paste ready.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

Mostly efficient, but the deprecation notice and the step-4 customization field list are long and partially duplicated, which could be tightened.

3 / 5

Actionability

Provides a concrete executable command, specific file paths, and explicit context to forward (intent plus four pre-resolved fields), with only a minor gap in how to literally invoke bmad-prd.

4 / 5

Workflow Clarity

Clear numbered 4-step sequence with an explicit termination guard; no error-recovery loop for the resolve/config steps keeps it just below 5, and it is not destructive so the cap does not apply.

4 / 5

Progressive Disclosure

A short, self-contained shim with clean heading and numbered structure and no nested references; under the simple-skill rule this is well-organized enough to score 5.

Description

46%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.

The description clearly signals deprecation and the forward target with a single intent, but lacks a 'when to use' trigger and natural keywords. As a compatibility shim it is reasonably distinctive but minimal.

Suggestions

Add an explicit 'Use when...' trigger clause so it is clear when this shim (vs bmad-prd) should activate.

Include natural user-facing keywords (e.g. 'validate a PRD', 'check a product requirements document') rather than only technical shorthand like 'validate intent'.

Optionally name one more concrete capability of the forwarded validate flow to lift specificity beyond a single action.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Names the target skill (forwards to bmad-prd) and one concrete action (validate intent), matching the 1-2 concrete-actions anchor without being comprehensive.

3 / 5

Completeness

Has a clear 'what' (forwards to bmad-prd) but no 'Use when...' clause; per the missing-trigger-guidance rule this caps at 3.

3 / 5

Trigger Term Quality

Only a couple of mostly-technical keywords ('validate', 'prd', 'intent') with no natural user-facing phrases; matches the 'one or two generic keywords' anchor.

2 / 5

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

Tied to one specific named skill and a specific validate intent, giving mostly distinct triggers with only minor overlap risk with the parent bmad-prd skill.
