67%Weight 40%Scale 1-5Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.
The content is well-structured and actionable with a clear workflow and a verified helper script reference. Its weaknesses are mild verbosity (definitional padding and full response templates) and a missing post-install validation checkpoint.
Suggestions
Remove the generic definition ('Skills are modular packages that extend agent capabilities...') and condense the two full example response blocks into a compact template to improve token efficiency.
Add an explicit validation step after install (e.g., confirm the skill appears under skills/custom/ and is usable) to close the workflow's validation gap.
Replace the placeholder '/path/to/skill/scripts/install-skill.sh' with the concrete resolved path or a discovery mechanism so the install command is copy-paste ready.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is mostly efficient with concrete commands and examples, but includes unnecessary explanation ('Skills are modular packages that extend agent capabilities with specialized knowledge, workflows, and tools.') and full verbatim response templates that could be trimmed; not a 4 because the padding is more than minor. | 3 / 5 |
Actionability | Provides concrete executable commands (npx skills find, npx skills check, npx skills update, bash scripts/install-skill.sh, npx skills init) with query-to-command examples and a real install script; not a 5 because the placeholder path '/path/to/skill/scripts/install-skill.sh' is not copy-paste ready. | 4 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | A clear four-step sequence (understand, search, present, install) with a fallback branch for no-results, but it lacks an explicit validation checkpoint confirming the skill installed and loaded correctly; not a 5 due to that minor validation gap. | 4 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | Well-organized sections in a single appropriately-sized SKILL.md with a clearly signaled, one-level reference to the real scripts/install-skill.sh; not a 5 because there is little progressive disclosure to evaluate and a couple of inline blocks (the full response templates) could live elsewhere. | 4 / 5 |
