Quality

Content

71%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.

A highly actionable, well-sequenced interactive workflow with strong concrete guidance and worked examples. Its main weaknesses are verbosity from templated fill-in prompts and a monolithic structure with a missing referenced 'examples/' folder.

Suggestions

Externalize the four full recommendation-pattern templates and the ten pitfalls into a reference file (e.g. references/recommendation-patterns.md) to reduce body length and improve progressive disclosure.

Create or remove the referenced 'examples/' folder — the body currently points to a folder that does not exist.

Tighten the fill-in-the-blank prompt templates by collapsing repetitive '$___' placeholder lines into compact parameter lists, cutting padding without losing the adaptive-question structure.

Dimension	Reasoning	Score
Conciseness	The ~770-line body is mostly task-structured rather than teaching basics Claude already knows, but heavy use of fill-in-the-blank prompt templates with many '$___' placeholders and verbose recommendation/pitfall sections adds noticeable padding that could be trimmed.	3 / 5
Actionability	Provides concrete adaptive question flows, enumerated decision options, numbered recommendations with specific thresholds (>10% ARPU lift, <5% churn), and three fully worked examples with real numbers — copy-paste ready guidance for an instruction-only skill.	5 / 5
Workflow Clarity	Steps 0–5 are clearly sequenced with adaptive branches per change type and condition-gated recommendation patterns ('When...'/'Don't roll out if...'); the 'test first' A/B pattern acts as a validation loop, though there is no explicit validate→fix→retry checkpoint elsewhere.	4 / 5
Progressive Disclosure	Section structure is reasonable, but the file is monolithic with no bundle directories (references/, scripts/, assets/ absent), the referenced 'examples/' folder does not exist, and large recommendation templates and pitfalls that could be externalized are inlined.	3 / 5

Description

92%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.

A strong, specific description with clear what/when structure and natural trigger phrases. Minor room to add synonyms (price increase, discount, new tier) to round out trigger-term coverage.

Dimension	Reasoning	Score
Specificity	Lists multiple concrete analytic actions — 'using ARPU, conversion, churn risk, NRR, and payback' — covering the domain comprehensively rather than vague abstractions.	5 / 5
Completeness	Explicitly answers both 'what' (evaluate pricing changes using the listed metrics) and 'when' ('Use when deciding whether a pricing move should ship') with a concrete trigger phrase.	5 / 5
Trigger Term Quality	Includes natural terms like 'pricing changes', 'ARPU', 'NRR', 'payback', and the phrase 'whether a pricing move should ship'; a few synonyms (e.g., price increase, discount, new tier) are absent, keeping it just below comprehensive.	4 / 5
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk	Occupies a clear niche — financial-impact evaluation of a specific pricing change — and is explicitly scoped away from value-based pricing, WTP research, and packaging architecture, minimizing overlap with sibling skills.	5 / 5
