project-documentation-workflow
Wave-based comprehensive project documentation generator with dynamic task decomposition. Analyzes project structure and generates appropriate documentation tasks, computes optimal execution waves via topological sort, produces complete documentation suite including architecture, methods, theory, features, usage, and design philosophy.

Discovery
42%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 is strong on specificity, listing concrete outputs and methods, but critically lacks any 'Use when...' guidance that would help Claude know when to select this skill. The language is overly technical with jargon like 'topological sort' and 'dynamic task decomposition' that users wouldn't naturally use in requests, reducing its effectiveness as a skill selector.
Suggestions
Add an explicit 'Use when...' clause, e.g., 'Use when the user asks to document a project, generate project docs, create a documentation suite, or needs comprehensive documentation for a codebase.'
Include natural user-facing trigger terms like 'generate docs', 'document my project', 'README', 'project documentation', 'codebase docs'.
Reduce technical jargon ('topological sort', 'dynamic task decomposition') in favor of user-oriented language, or move those details after the core what/when information.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Specificity | Lists multiple specific concrete actions: analyzes project structure, generates documentation tasks, computes execution waves via topological sort, produces documentation suite including architecture, methods, theory, features, usage, and design philosophy. | 3 / 3 |
Completeness | Describes what the skill does but completely lacks a 'Use when...' clause or any explicit trigger guidance for when Claude should select this skill. Per rubric guidelines, a missing 'Use when...' clause caps completeness at 2, and the 'when' is not even implied clearly, warranting a 1. | 1 / 3 |
Trigger Term Quality | Contains some relevant keywords like 'documentation', 'project structure', 'architecture', but uses technical jargon ('topological sort', 'wave-based', 'dynamic task decomposition') that users wouldn't naturally say. Missing common user terms like 'docs', 'README', 'document my project', 'generate docs'. | 2 / 3 |
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk | The 'wave-based' and 'topological sort' aspects are distinctive, but 'project documentation generator' is broad enough to overlap with simpler documentation skills. The specific documentation types (architecture, methods, theory) help somewhat but the scope is still quite wide. | 2 / 3 |

Implementation
55%Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.
This skill is highly actionable with a well-structured multi-phase workflow and explicit validation checkpoints, making it functionally complete and executable. However, it is severely bloated—inlining hundreds of lines of implementation code, algorithm details, and templates that should be split into referenced files. The bilingual redundancy and explanatory content further inflate token cost without adding value for Claude.
Suggestions
Extract the full implementation code (topological sort, wave execution loop, summary generation, results aggregation) into separate referenced files (e.g., IMPLEMENTATION.md, TEMPLATES.md) and keep only a concise overview with key patterns in SKILL.md.
Remove bilingual redundancy—choose one language for comments and labels instead of mixing Chinese and English throughout.
Eliminate the optimization comparison table and explanatory sections that describe what the workflow does rather than instructing how to do it.
Consolidate the CSV schema and output structure into a referenced SCHEMA.md file, keeping only a brief summary inline.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | Extremely verbose at ~500+ lines. Contains extensive code that could be referenced externally, explains concepts Claude already knows (topological sort, Kahn's algorithm), includes bilingual text (Chinese+English) adding redundancy, and has decorative ASCII art boxes. The optimization comparison table and many implementation details bloat the content significantly. | 1 / 3 |
Actionability | Highly actionable with complete, executable JavaScript code for every phase—session initialization, topological sort computation, wave execution, summary generation, and results aggregation. CSV schemas are fully specified with column types and descriptions. The instruction template is copy-paste ready. | 3 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | Clear three-phase workflow (Decomposition → Wave Execution → Aggregation) with explicit validation checkpoints: dependency checking before execution, cycle detection in topological sort, user confirmation step, wave summary generation between waves, and error propagation (failed deps → skip dependents). Feedback loops are well-defined. | 3 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | Monolithic wall of text with everything inlined—the full topological sort algorithm, wave summary generation, instruction templates, results aggregation, and CSV schemas are all in one massive file. No references to external files for detailed implementations. The content would benefit enormously from splitting implementation details into separate referenced files. | 1 / 3 |

Validation
72%Checks the skill against the spec for correct structure and formatting. All validation checks must pass before discovery and implementation can be scored.
