Quality

Content

77%

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

The body is highly actionable with a clear sequenced workflow, but it is verbose for a single file: it repeats the frontmatter intent and keeps a large template and question bank inline rather than splitting them into reference files.

Suggestions

Remove the verbatim duplication of the frontmatter intent in the Purpose section to save tokens.

Merge or trim the overlap between "Biases to Avoid" and "Common Pitfalls" so each pitfall appears once.

Move the full interview-plan output template and the methodology question bank into separate reference files (e.g., interview-plan-template.md, methodology-questions.md) and link to them one level deep, keeping SKILL.md as a concise overview.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

The ~400-line body is mostly efficient domain content, but the Purpose section duplicates the frontmatter intent verbatim and the Biases to Avoid section overlaps with Common Pitfalls; some explanation (e.g., what confirmation bias / leading questions are) is knowledge Claude already has. It is not a 3 because the redundancy and padded explanation mean not every token earns its place; it is not a 1 because the bulk is genuinely specific, actionable domain material rather than abstract filler.

2 / 3

Actionability

Concrete enumerated options per question, copy-paste phrasing for each methodology ("Tell me about the last time you..."), specific Avoid directives, a full markdown output template, and numeric recruiting guidance ("Reach out to 20-30 people to get 5-10 interviews") make this copy-ready. It is not a 2 because guidance is complete and executable rather than pseudocode or abstract description.

3 / 3

Workflow Clarity

A clearly numbered sequence (Step 0 → Q1 → Q2 → Q3 → Q4 → Output) with explicit adaptation tips and context-gathering before questions. It is not a 2 because the steps and their order are explicit and well-sequenced; this is not a destructive/batch operation, so the validation-checkpoint cap does not apply.

3 / 3

Progressive Disclosure

Headers organize the file and external-skill references are clearly signaled, but no bundle files exist and the long output template plus full question bank are kept inline in one monolithic ~400-line file. It is not a 3 because content that could be split (the interview-plan template, the methodology question bank) is not separated into one-level-deep reference files; it is not a 1 because there is real section structure and no deep reference nesting.

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.

The description is third-person, concise, and clearly states both the capability and an explicit use-when trigger with natural terms. It is a strong, low-conflict description.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

"Plan customer discovery interviews with the right goal, segment, constraints, and method" lists multiple concrete actions (goal, segment, constraints, method), matching the score-3 anchor for multiple specific concrete actions. It is not a level below because it goes beyond naming only a domain and a single action.

3 / 3

Completeness

It answers "what" (plan interviews with goal/segment/constraints/method) and "when" with an explicit "Use when preparing interviews for..." clause. It is not a level below because the trigger guidance is explicit rather than merely implied.

3 / 3

Trigger Term Quality

"customer discovery interviews", "problem validation", "churn research", and "new product ideas" are natural phrases a PM would actually say, giving good coverage. It is not a level below because it covers multiple common variations rather than a single generic term.

3 / 3

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

"customer discovery interviews" plus the three named triggers carve a clear niche unlikely to fire for adjacent skills (surveys, usability testing). It is not a level below because the triggers are specific rather than generic enough to overlap many skills.
