Quality
Discovery
100%Based on the skill's description, can an agent find and select it at the right time? Clear, specific descriptions lead to better discovery.
This is a well-crafted skill description that excels across all dimensions. It clearly specifies the domain (phishing incident response), lists concrete actions, includes an explicit 'Use when' clause with natural trigger terms, and establishes a distinct niche through the PICERL methodology reference and security-specific terminology.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Specificity | Lists multiple specific concrete actions: 'Analyzes artifacts, identifies recipients who clicked, contains malicious IOCs, and removes emails from mailboxes.' These are clear, actionable capabilities. | 3 / 3 |
Completeness | Clearly answers both what ('Analyzes artifacts, identifies recipients who clicked, contains malicious IOCs, removes emails') AND when ('Use when a phishing email is reported or detected') with explicit trigger guidance. | 3 / 3 |
Trigger Term Quality | Includes natural keywords users would say: 'phishing email', 'reported', 'detected', 'IOCs', 'mailboxes'. These are terms security analysts would naturally use when dealing with phishing incidents. | 3 / 3 |
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk | Highly distinctive with clear niche: PICERL methodology, phishing-specific actions, and security incident response context. Unlikely to conflict with general email or document skills. | 3 / 3 |

Implementation
62%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 incident response skill with excellent workflow clarity following the PICERL methodology. The main weaknesses are incomplete actionability (several steps lack specific tool commands) and moderate verbosity that could be reduced. The confirmation gates before destructive actions and comprehensive checklist are strong safety features.
Suggestions
Specify concrete tool calls for email deletion/quarantine operations instead of noting 'Requires Email Gateway/Platform tools'
Add specific commands or tool calls for implementing blocks at email gateway, web proxy, firewall, and DNS
Consider moving the phishing category classification table and detailed output tables to a reference file to reduce main skill length
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The skill is reasonably efficient but includes some redundancy (outputs tables repeated conceptually in phase steps) and could be tightened. The structured tables add value but some explanatory text is unnecessary for Claude. | 2 / 3 |
Actionability | Provides concrete tool calls and slash commands but many steps lack executable specifics - 'implement blocks at email gateway/web proxy/firewall' is vague, and email deletion steps say 'Requires Email Gateway/Platform tools' without specifying which tools or commands to use. | 2 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | Excellent multi-step workflow following PICERL methodology with clear phase sequencing, explicit confirmation steps via /confirm-action before destructive operations, and a comprehensive checklist. Validation checkpoints are present throughout. | 3 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | Content is well-organized with clear sections and tables, but it's a long monolithic document. References to other skills (/respond-compromised-account, /respond-malware, /enrich-ioc) are good, but detailed content like the phishing category table could be externalized. | 2 / 3 |
