Quality

Content

63%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.

The body is a well-structured, actionable research-workflow skill with a concrete schema, gated steps, and strong examples. Its main weaknesses are some framework over-explanation Claude does not need, and dead references to template/example files that are not actually bundled.

Suggestions

Ship the missing bundle files referenced in the body (template.md, examples/sample.md, examples/sample-industrial.md) or remove the links — dead references break the skill's progressive-disclosure promises.

Tighten the 'Key Concepts' section: drop the teaching of what the Ansoff Matrix and its risk gradient are (Claude already knows) and keep only the operational rules the skill enforces (signal-or-don't-ship, gradient sets evidence burden, do-not-invent list).

Add one explicit validation step to the Application sequence — e.g. 'before emitting, confirm every quadrant move carries a labeled signal or is marked empty' — to convert the woven discipline into a hard checkpoint.

Dimension	Reasoning	Score
Conciseness	The body is mostly operational (Input, Application, schema, Final Step, Pitfalls) but spends tokens teaching the Ansoff framework and risk gradient Claude already knows ('The framework (Ansoff, 1957)...', 'The risk gradient is law...'), which could be tightened into bare operational rules.	3 / 5
Actionability	Concrete, copy-paste-ready output schema, numbered Application steps, and worked quadrant/sequence examples make the guidance mostly executable; the gap is that the cited fill-in template and worked samples (template.md, examples/sample.md, examples/sample-industrial.md) do not exist, so a follower hits dead ends.	4 / 5
Workflow Clarity	A clear sequence (check session → credit context + ask ≤3 → search-plan gate → populate + emit schema → 4-option Final Step) with a revision gate and an 'Assumptions to Validate' checkpoint, but validation is woven into discipline rather than an explicit hard verify step, leaving a minor gap below anchor 5.	4 / 5
Progressive Disclosure	References are clearly signaled and one level deep, but all three referenced files (template.md, examples/sample.md, examples/sample-industrial.md) are missing and no references/scripts/assets directories exist, so the disclosed navigation leads nowhere — structure is present but the bundle does not back it.	3 / 5

Description

82%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.

The description is strong: it states a concrete capability, gives an explicit 'Use when' trigger framed as the user's natural question, and occupies a distinct named-framework niche. Its only weak spot is specificity — it names the domain and two actions rather than enumerating several concrete operations.

Dimension	Reasoning	Score
Specificity	Names the domain (Ansoff Matrix) and two concrete actions — 'Map evidence-backed growth options' and 'risk-rated sequencing' — but does not list a comprehensive set of specific actions, fitting the '1-2 concrete actions' anchor rather than the 'several specific actions' anchor above.	3 / 5
Completeness	Explicitly answers both 'what' ('Map evidence-backed growth options across the Ansoff Matrix with risk-rated sequencing') and 'when' with a concrete trigger phrase ('Use when the question is where the next tranche of growth comes from, and at what risk').	5 / 5
Trigger Term Quality	Good natural keyword coverage — 'growth options', 'Ansoff Matrix', 'risk', and the trigger question 'where the next tranche of growth comes from' — with only minor variations (e.g. 'market penetration', 'diversification') absent, so it sits above anchor 3 but short of fully comprehensive anchor 5.	4 / 5
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk	A named-framework niche ('Ansoff Matrix') with a specific growth-option-planning trigger gives it a clear, distinct slot with minimal overlap risk against sibling market-intelligence skills.	5 / 5
