Quality

Content

77%

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

Highly actionable and well-sequenced with validation feedback loops, supported by copy-paste YAML and complete examples. The main weakness is progressive disclosure: much of the dense reference material and worked examples live inline in SKILL.md instead of being split into bundle files.

Suggestions

Move the three 'Complete Examples' (Task Tracker, Reading List, Daily Notes) into a separate EXAMPLES.md bundle, keeping only one compact quick-start example inline.

Relocate the large File Properties and Default Summary Formulas tables into the existing references directory to slim the main SKILL.md toward an overview.

Tighten the body by collapsing repeated filter-structure examples into a single canonical form plus a pointer to the reference, reducing token cost without losing clarity.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

Mostly efficient with no padding about concepts Claude already knows, but the ~500-line body keeps large reference tables and three full worked examples inline that could be tightened or moved to bundle files.

2 / 3

Actionability

Provides copy-paste-ready YAML for every feature — schema, filters, formulas, views — plus executable tables of operators, file properties, functions, and three complete working bases.

3 / 3

Workflow Clarity

The numbered Workflow (create → define scope → formulas → views → validate → test) includes explicit validation checkpoints and a feedback loop ('If it shows a YAML error, check quoting rules below').

3 / 3

Progressive Disclosure

FUNCTIONS_REFERENCE.md is correctly offloaded and clearly signaled one level deep, but the main file remains largely monolithic with full examples and large tables inline rather than split into separate bundle files.

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 and provides explicit trigger guidance covering natural user phrasings. It clearly distinguishes the skill's niche with minimal conflict risk.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Lists multiple concrete actions — 'Create and edit Obsidian Bases (.base files) with views, filters, formulas, and summaries' — naming specific capabilities rather than vague language.

3 / 3

Completeness

Explicitly answers both what (create/edit Bases with views, filters, formulas, summaries) and when via a clear 'Use when working with .base files... or when the user mentions...' clause.

3 / 3

Trigger Term Quality

Covers natural user terms — '.base files', 'Bases', 'table views', 'card views', 'filters', 'formulas', 'database-like views of notes' — giving good coverage of phrasings a user would actually say.

3 / 3

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

Targets a narrow niche (Obsidian Bases / .base files) with distinct triggers, making it unlikely to fire for unrelated skills.
