cds-docs

Retrieve Coinbase Design System (CDS) documentation: setup, installation, theming, tokens, and per-component APIs/examples. Use this skill whenever the task involves CDS components, design-system rules, theming, or choosing between web and mobile CDS packages, even if the user only says "use CDS" or names a component. Always start from the docs route index, then fetch only the pages you need to reason and implement correctly. Prefer the CDS MCP server (`list-cds-routes`, `get-cds-doc`); if MCP is unavailable, use curl against https://cds.coinbase.com/llms/....

Quality

Content

75%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.

The body is a well-structured, actionable guide: exact URLs, commands, and MCP invocation details make the retrieval workflow directly executable, with clear platform selection and fallback logic. The main gaps are mild redundancy between the Goal, workflow, and 'done' sections, and the absence of any verification loop or referenced bundle material.

Suggestions

Trim redundant meta-commentary (the 'Treat fetched pages as source material you have read' paragraph, the 'The use does not need to know your methodology' aside, and the §5 checklist largely duplicating the Goal and §3) to improve conciseness.

Fix the typo 'The use does not need to know' → 'The user does not need to know'.

Add a brief verification checkpoint after fetching (e.g. confirm the route exists in the index before use, or re-fetch via curl if MCP output is empty/truncated) to strengthen the workflow's feedback loop.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

Mostly efficient with concrete routing details, but sections like 'Treat fetched pages as source material you have read' and the §5 'What "done" looks like' checklist restate points already made in the Goal block and §3, and could be trimmed.

4 / 5

Actionability

Provides copy-paste-ready specifics — `curl -fsSL '<url>'`, exact routes.txt URLs, MCP tool names with parameter formats, and example routes like `web/getting-started/installation.txt` — though a few steps (e.g. 'infer from the repo') remain high-level.

4 / 5

Workflow Clarity

Clear sequence (choose platform → tool order with an MCP-to-curl fallback → workflow → done checklist) with most checkpoints present. No destructive or batch operations, so no validation cap applies, but there is no explicit verify/retry loop beyond the curl fallback.

4 / 5

Progressive Disclosure

No bundle files exist; the ~68-line body is self-contained with five well-organized numbered sections and content appropriately inline. Good structure, though it slightly exceeds the under-50-line simple-skill case that would merit a 5.

Description

92%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.

The description is strong: it states concrete capabilities, an explicit and broadly-worded trigger clause with natural user phrasings, and a clear tool-preference order. It is specific to the CDS niche with essentially no conflict risk, with only minor room to add common synonyms.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Lists multiple concrete actions — retrieving setup, installation, theming, tokens, and per-component APIs, starting from the route index, preferring MCP tools (`list-cds-routes`, `get-cds-doc`) with a curl fallback — giving comprehensive coverage of the skill's scope.

5 / 5

Completeness

Explicitly answers both what ('Retrieve Coinbase Design System (CDS) documentation: setup, installation, theming, tokens, and per-component APIs/examples') and when ('Use this skill whenever the task involves CDS components, design-system rules, theming...') with concrete trigger phrases.

5 / 5

Trigger Term Quality

Good natural-term coverage including 'CDS components', 'theming', 'design-system rules', and the explicit 'even if the user only says "use CDS"', but a few natural variations (e.g. package names like @coinbase/cds-web or the phrase 'Coinbase components') are missing.

4 / 5

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

Occupies a clear niche (Coinbase Design System documentation) with distinct, brand-specific triggers; minimal risk of firing for unrelated skills.
