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-structured, highly actionable orchestration skill with clear workflows and validation checkpoints; its main weaknesses are redundant anti-pattern prose and inline content that could be offloaded to reference files.

Suggestions

Merge the mid-skill 'Anti-patterns' list and the closing 'Anti-Patterns' section into one canonical list to remove the duplication and trim tokens.

Move the full manifest schema and the squad.config.ts example into a references/ file (e.g. MANIFEST.md) and link to it from a concise overview, improving progressive disclosure.

Tighten the opening blockquote to the single most essential disambiguation rule; the surrounding Context paragraph repeats much of it.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

Mostly efficient domain-specific guidance, but padded with a long opening blockquote and duplicated anti-pattern material (a mid-skill 'Anti-patterns' list plus a bottom 'Anti-Patterns' section) that could be tightened.

2 / 3

Actionability

Provides copy-paste-ready commands (`squad registry add`, `squad delegate`, `gh issue create` with exact title/label/body) plus manifest JSON and TypeScript config examples, matching the fully-executable anchor.

3 / 3

Workflow Clarity

The Work Handoff Protocol is a numbered sequence with an explicit pre-check ('Verify the target squad accepts the work type') and a polling feedback loop, and the disambiguation flow adds an ask_user checkpoint before proceeding.

3 / 3

Progressive Disclosure

Sections are clearly labeled and the companion `cross-squad-communication` skill is well-signaled, but the body is monolithic — manifest schema details and multiple example blocks are inline with no references/ split, and no bundle files exist.

Description

100%

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 capabilities, supplies an explicit use-when trigger, and bakes in disambiguation to avoid conflicts with generic multi-agent skills. No missing clause caps any dimension.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Names multiple concrete actions — 'discovery, delegation, and disambiguation' across 'multiple Squad instances' — matching the anchor for listing several specific concrete actions.

3 / 3

Completeness

Explicitly answers both 'what' (coordinating work across Squad instances via discovery/delegation) and 'when' ('when the user says squad ... vs casual English'), satisfying the what-AND-when bar.

3 / 3

Trigger Term Quality

Captures the natural term users say ('squad') plus the ambiguous variant ('group of agents') and frames it as a disambiguation, giving good coverage of terms a user would actually utter.

3 / 3

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

The product-vs-English disambiguation carves out a clear niche unlikely to trigger for generic team/agent skills, matching the 'clear niche with distinct triggers' anchor.
