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 content is concise, highly actionable, and well-structured with a clear sequenced workflow and validation-oriented rules. It assumes Claude's intelligence and provides concrete commands and an authoritative protected-file list, making it a strong reference skill.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

The body is lean and assumes Claude's competence, listing protected files, rules, and anti-patterns with no padding or explanation of concepts Claude already knows; every section earns its place.

3 / 3

Actionability

Concrete, executable guidance throughout: an authoritative file table, exact allowed node: built-ins, explicit anti-pattern imports to avoid, and a numbered procedure for adding new bootstrap utilities with a named test pattern.

3 / 3

Workflow Clarity

The 'Adding New Bootstrap Utilities' section gives a clear numbered sequence with a regression-test checkpoint, and the rules section functions as a validation checklist before sweeping refactors; the prevention-over-detection note reinforces the feedback intent.

3 / 3

Progressive Disclosure

A single self-contained SKILL.md with well-organized sections and no bundle files; references to a test pattern (detect-squad-dir-zero-deps.test.ts) are inline signals rather than nested references, satisfying the simple-skill allowance.

Description

57%

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 defines a sharp, distinctive niche and a concrete constraint, but it omits any 'Use when...' trigger guidance and describes a single rule rather than multiple capabilities. Adding explicit invocation triggers would raise completeness and trigger-term quality.

Suggestions

Append a 'Use when...' clause naming natural triggers, e.g. 'Use when editing files in packages/squad-cli/src/cli/core/ or running sweeping refactors across the CLI bootstrap path.'

Broaden trigger terms with common phrasings users would actually say, such as 'sweeping refactor', 'convert fs calls', or 'bootstrap utilities'.

Reframe from a single prohibition toward the capability it enables (e.g. 'Guard zero-dependency bootstrap files...') so multiple concrete actions are implied.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Names a concrete domain (zero-dependency bootstrap files) and a specific constraint (never import npm packages or SDK code), but describes a single restriction rather than listing multiple distinct capabilities.

2 / 3

Completeness

It states clearly what these files must never do, but there is no 'Use when...' clause or equivalent explicit guidance on when to invoke the skill, which caps completeness at 2 per the rubric.

2 / 3

Trigger Term Quality

Contains relevant technical terms ('bootstrap files', 'npm packages', 'SDK code') that an engineer might say, but lacks common natural variations a user would voice when needing this skill.

2 / 3

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

The niche is narrow and distinctive (zero-dependency bootstrap files in squad-cli) with triggers tied to a specific package boundary, making conflict with other skills unlikely.
