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 security/malware investigation domain, lists concrete analytical actions, includes an explicit 'Use when' clause with natural trigger terms, and occupies a distinct niche that won't conflict with general file or document processing skills.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Specificity | Lists multiple specific concrete actions: 'Analyzes GTI file report, behavioral indicators, identifies affected hosts, enriches network IOCs, and recommends containment actions' - these are clear, actionable capabilities. | 3 / 3 |
Completeness | Clearly answers both what (triage file hash, analyze GTI report, identify hosts, enrich IOCs, recommend containment) AND when ('Use when investigating malware alerts or suspicious files') with explicit trigger guidance. | 3 / 3 |
Trigger Term Quality | Includes natural keywords users would say: 'malicious file hash', 'malware alerts', 'suspicious files', 'IOCs', 'containment'. These are terms security analysts naturally use when investigating threats. | 3 / 3 |
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk | Highly specific niche focused on file hash triage and malware investigation. Terms like 'GTI file report', 'file hash', 'behavioral indicators', and 'containment actions' create a distinct security/malware analysis domain unlikely to conflict with other skills. | 3 / 3 |

Implementation
92%Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.
This is a high-quality skill that provides clear, actionable guidance for malware triage. The workflow is well-sequenced with concrete tool calls, explicit outputs to capture, and a severity assessment framework that guides decision-making. Minor improvement could be made in progressive disclosure by better organizing reference materials.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The skill is lean and efficient, providing only necessary information without explaining concepts Claude already knows. No verbose explanations of what malware is or how hashes work - it jumps straight to actionable workflow. | 3 / 3 |
Actionability | Provides concrete, executable commands with specific tool calls and parameters. Each step has copy-paste ready code blocks with clear variable placeholders and explicit field names to extract. | 3 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | Clear 8-step sequence with explicit validation through the severity assessment matrix. Each step builds on previous outputs (e.g., NETWORK_IOCs_GTI feeds into Step 6), and the workflow includes clear decision points for recommended actions based on severity. | 3 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | Content is well-organized with clear sections, but the skill is somewhat monolithic. References to other skills (/enrich-ioc, /find-relevant-case, /document-in-case) are mentioned but could benefit from clearer signaling. The severity matrix and action tables could potentially be in separate reference files for complex investigations. | 2 / 3 |
