ansoff-matrix

Map evidence-backed growth options across the Ansoff Matrix with risk-rated sequencing. Use when the question is where the next tranche of growth comes from, and at what risk.

Quality

Content

77%

Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.

A well-structured, actionable workflow skill with a copy-paste output schema and clear sequenced process. Its main weaknesses are re-explaining a framework Claude already knows and referencing bundle files (template.md, examples/*) that do not exist.

Suggestions

Trim the 'Key Concepts' framework primer — drop the Ansoff axes/quadrant definitions Claude already knows and keep only the risk-gradient logic that drives the skill's evidence discipline.

Create the referenced bundle files (template.md, examples/sample.md, examples/sample-industrial.md) so the one-level-deep progressive disclosure actually resolves; currently the body promises these resources but they are absent.

If the example files are not going to be shipped, inline the key worked example or remove the dead references so navigation never leads to a missing file.

Dimension	Reasoning	Score
Conciseness	The body is information-dense and purposeful, but the 'Key Concepts' section re-primes the well-known Ansoff framework (its axes and quadrant definitions), which Claude already knows, and the skill is fairly long.	2 / 3
Actionability	Provides a copy-paste-ready output schema with placeholders, a concrete 4-step Application process, specific worked examples of a quadrant entry and the sequence close, and explicit acceptance inputs.	3 / 3
Workflow Clarity	Clear numbered 4-step sequence with explicit checkpoints — the search-plan gate ('Continue unless revised'), the max-3 question budget, and the 'Assumptions to Validate' section — plus a Common Pitfalls checklist.	3 / 3
Progressive Disclosure	Sections are well-organized and one-level-deep references are clearly signaled (template.md, examples/sample.md, examples/sample-industrial.md), but none of these referenced bundle files actually exist, so the disclosure is broken and navigation hits dead ends.	2 / 3

Description

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.

A strong description: concrete actions, an explicit Use-when trigger, natural keywords, and a distinctive named-framework niche. It cleanly answers both what the skill does and when to invoke it.

Dimension	Reasoning	Score
Specificity	Names a specific framework (Ansoff Matrix) plus multiple concrete actions — 'Map evidence-backed growth options' and 'risk-rated sequencing' — rather than vague language.	3 / 3
Completeness	Clearly answers both what it does ('Map evidence-backed growth options across the Ansoff Matrix with risk-rated sequencing') and when to use it via an explicit 'Use when...' clause.	3 / 3
Trigger Term Quality	Includes natural phrasings a growth-planning user would actually say — 'where the next tranche of growth comes from', 'at what risk', 'growth options' — giving good keyword coverage.	3 / 3
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk	The named Ansoff Matrix niche plus the specific 'next tranche of growth' trigger make it clearly distinguishable and unlikely to fire for the wrong skill.	3 / 3
	Total	12 / 12 Passed
