packmind-create-command
Guide for creating reusable commands via the Packmind CLI. This skill should be used when users want to create a new command that captures multi-step workflows, recipes, or task automation for distribution to Claude.

Discovery
67%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 adequately covers both what the skill does and when to use it, earning strong marks for completeness. However, it lacks specific concrete actions beyond 'creating commands' and could benefit from more natural trigger terms that users would actually say. The Packmind CLI reference provides some distinctiveness but the broader automation language creates potential overlap risk.
Suggestions
Add more specific concrete actions like 'define command parameters', 'configure workflow steps', 'package and export commands', or 'test command execution'
Include additional natural trigger terms users might say such as 'script', 'macro', 'template', 'automate', 'packfile', or 'reusable workflow'
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Specificity | Names the domain (Packmind CLI, reusable commands) and mentions some actions ('creating', 'captures multi-step workflows'), but lacks comprehensive concrete actions like specific CLI commands, configuration steps, or output formats. | 2 / 3 |
Completeness | Clearly answers both what ('Guide for creating reusable commands via the Packmind CLI') and when ('when users want to create a new command that captures multi-step workflows, recipes, or task automation for distribution to Claude') with explicit trigger guidance. | 3 / 3 |
Trigger Term Quality | Includes some relevant keywords ('command', 'CLI', 'workflows', 'recipes', 'task automation') but misses common variations users might say like 'script', 'macro', 'template', 'packfile', or 'automate tasks'. | 2 / 3 |
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk | Somewhat specific to Packmind CLI commands, but 'task automation' and 'workflows' could overlap with general automation or scripting skills. The 'Packmind CLI' term provides some distinctiveness but may not be recognized by users unfamiliar with the tool. | 2 / 3 |
Total | 9 / 12 Passed |
Implementation
77%Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.
This is a well-structured, highly actionable skill with clear workflow sequencing and validation checkpoints. Its main weakness is verbosity in the introductory sections explaining concepts Claude already understands, and the monolithic structure that could benefit from splitting reference material into separate files.
Suggestions
Remove or significantly condense the 'About Commands' and 'What Commands Provide' sections - Claude understands these concepts and they add ~40 lines of unnecessary context
Move the 'Complete Example' section to a separate EXAMPLES.md file and reference it, reducing the main skill's token footprint
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The skill contains some unnecessary explanation (e.g., 'About Commands' section explaining what commands provide, which Claude can infer). The content is mostly efficient but could be tightened by removing conceptual explanations and focusing purely on the creation process. | 2 / 3 |
Actionability | Provides fully executable CLI commands, complete JSON examples with proper structure, and copy-paste ready code snippets. The playbook schema is clearly documented with concrete examples of good vs bad descriptions, checkpoints, and scenarios. | 3 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | Clear 7-step sequence with explicit validation checkpoints (Step 4 requires user approval before proceeding), error recovery guidance in troubleshooting section, and conditional cleanup logic ('Only clean up on success'). The workflow includes proper feedback loops for user review. | 3 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | Content is well-organized with clear sections and a quick reference table, but the skill is monolithic (~300 lines) with no references to external files. The 'About Commands' conceptual section and complete example could be split into separate reference files. | 2 / 3 |
