Quality

Content

92%Weight 40%Scale 1-5

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

A lean, highly actionable body: it specifies the exact command, output format, type-selection rules, and subject-line constraints in five clear steps without wasting a token. The only improvement would be a short worked example of a finished commit message to make the format concrete at a glance.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

Every line carries skill-specific guidance ('Read only the staged changes with git diff --cached', 'Empty files and stubs don't count') with no padding and no explanation of concepts Claude already knows — every token earns its place.

5 / 5

Actionability

Gives a concrete command (git diff --cached), an exact output template (<type>(<optional scope>): <subject>), a 7-row type decision table, and precise subject rules — mostly executable with the minor gap that no worked example of a finished message is shown.

4 / 5

Workflow Clarity

Five clearly numbered steps with an explicit mixed-changes edge case and a safety boundary ('Do not commit, just suggest it'); as a simple, single-task, non-destructive skill the action is unambiguous, meeting the simple-skill exception.

5 / 5

Progressive Disclosure

Under 50 lines with no need for external references, organized into well-scoped sections (trigger, steps, type table, subject rules), which satisfies the simple-skill criterion for a top score.

Description

82%Weight 40%Scale 1-5

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 concise, well-structured description that explicitly states both what the skill does and when to use it, with natural trigger phrases and a distinct niche. Its only weakness is modest action coverage — it names the core generation task but not the supporting capabilities (type selection, subject-line rules, scope usage).

Suggestions

List one or two more concrete actions in the what-clause, e.g. 'Picks the commit type and scope, and formats the subject line' alongside 'Generates a Conventional Commits–formatted message from a diff'.

Add common trigger variations users naturally say, such as 'git commit' or 'write a commit message', to the 'Use when' clause.

Optionally mention that it works from staged changes specifically, which sharpens both the what and the when for the git workflow.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Names the domain (Conventional Commits messages) and one concrete action — 'Generates a Conventional Commits–formatted message from a diff' — but does not list several specific capabilities, matching the 1-2-concrete-actions anchor rather than the several-actions anchor.

3 / 5

Completeness

Explicitly answers both parts: the what ('Generates a Conventional Commits–formatted message from a diff') and the when ('Use when the user asks for a commit message or wants help summarizing staged changes') with two concrete trigger phrases, matching the top anchor.

5 / 5

Trigger Term Quality

'commit message', 'staged changes', 'diff', and 'Conventional Commits' are natural phrases users would say, but common variations such as 'git commit' or 'write a commit' are missing, so coverage is good rather than comprehensive.

4 / 5

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

'Commit message', 'Conventional Commits', and 'staged changes' carve out a clear niche with distinct triggers and minimal realistic overlap with other skills.
