figure-it-out

Design an auditable playbook when no narrower one fits: a large migration, an ambitious multi-part change, or work a human reviews after stepping away. Scales rigor to the task, runs a hypothesis loop, and logs decisions. Use for /figure-it-out or 'figure it out'.

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.

An exemplary process skill body: terse, directive, and clearly sequenced with explicit validation gates and feedback loops woven through every phase. Its only weakness is minor — a couple of concrete examples (a sample predicate, a sample audit-trail row) would close the last actionability gap.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

Lean and efficient with zero padding: every line is directive ('Inconclusive is not a pass. Don't hide a negative.', 'Ground first, then commit.') and no concepts Claude already knows are explained. Matches anchor 5 — every token earns its place.

5 / 5

Actionability

Concrete, specific guidance throughout: falsifiable definition of done, riskiest-unknown-first sequencing, harness-before-work with pre-change baseline, worktrees per parallel worker, explicit verdict vocabulary, and a structured final reply. Not 5 because there are minor gaps — no example predicate or audit-trail row is shown (format details are delegated to referenced skills); not 3 because the guidance is specific and executable, not pseudocode.

4 / 5

Workflow Clarity

Phases A-E are clearly sequenced with explicit validation checkpoints (measure each unit against the predicate, keep-or-revert, Phase E whole-product check) and feedback loops for error recovery (revert if not advanced, 'reset and harden the contract', 'fix the gate in its own change'). Matches anchor 5.

5 / 5

Progressive Disclosure

Under 50 lines with no need for external bundle files; sections (Start, Phases A-E) are well-organized and all cross-references to sibling skills (poteto-mode, prove-it-works, show-me-your-work, etc.) are clearly signaled in bold. Per the rubric's simple-skill guideline this scores 5.

Description

83%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 well-crafted description that explicitly states what the skill does and when to use it, with concrete scenario triggers and a distinct fallback niche. The main actions are specific but lean slightly abstract/meta, and natural-synonym coverage is good rather than comprehensive.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Lists several named actions ('Design an auditable playbook', 'Scales rigor to the task, runs a hypothesis loop, and logs decisions') with minor gaps in concreteness — the actions are somewhat abstract/meta rather than fully concrete. Not 5 because coverage is not comprehensive with tangible operations; not 3 because more than 1-2 specific actions are stated.

4 / 5

Completeness

Explicitly answers both: 'what' (design an auditable playbook, scale rigor, run a hypothesis loop, log decisions) and 'when' with concrete trigger phrases ('Use for /figure-it-out or "figure it out"', plus three named task scenarios). This matches the anchor-5 example structure of clear what + explicit when.

5 / 5

Trigger Term Quality

Includes the natural trigger phrase 'figure it out' and the slash command '/figure-it-out', plus natural scenario terms ('a large migration', 'an ambitious multi-part change', 'work a human reviews after stepping away'). A few natural synonyms/variations are missing, fitting anchor 4 rather than 5.

4 / 5

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

'when no narrower one fits' carves a distinct fallback niche and the '/figure-it-out' trigger is unique, but the natural phrase 'figure it out' could broadly overlap with general planning requests. Minor overlap risk with closely related planning/migration skills — anchor 4.
