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 content is highly actionable and well-sequenced, but it is verbose for a skill (duplicated intent paragraph, re-explained theory) and keeps material inline that belongs in reference files, several of which are referenced but missing from the bundle.

Suggestions

Remove the verbatim duplicate of the frontmatter intent in the Purpose section and trim the Patton concept explanations to only what is non-obvious, keeping the body lean.

Move the Examples, Common Pitfalls, and concept tutorial material into reference files under references/ and link to them one level deep, then actually create the referenced template.md and workshop-facilitation bundle files.

De-duplicate the technical-architecture-as-backbone guidance, which currently appears in both the Anti-Patterns section and Pitfall 2.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

The body is actionable but padded: the Purpose section repeats the frontmatter intent verbatim, Patton concepts (backbone, walking skeleton) are explained at length, and the Anti-Patterns and Common Pitfalls sections re-cover the same ideas (e.g., technical-architecture-as-backbone appears twice). It is mostly efficient but could be tightened, so it sits at score 2 rather than 3.

2 / 3

Actionability

Provides concrete enumerated questions with exact option text, generated example maps, and a copy-paste-ready output markdown template, giving fully executable guidance.

3 / 3

Workflow Clarity

A clear Step 0 → Q1–Q5 → Output sequence with explicit approve/modify/add-custom checkpoints at every question; the destructive-operation feedback-loop cap does not apply to this non-destructive facilitation skill.

3 / 3

Progressive Disclosure

It signals references to template.md and workshop-facilitation/SKILL.md, but those bundle files are absent, and the ~480-line body keeps concept tutorials, examples, and pitfalls inline that should be split into reference files—matching the score-2 "content that should be separate is inline" anchor.

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 strong across all dimensions: it states concrete actions, includes natural trigger terms, explicitly covers both what and when, and occupies a clear niche. No changes needed.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Lists multiple concrete actions—"user story mapping workshop," "adaptive questions," and "structured map output"—rather than a vague domain label, matching the score-3 anchor of several specific concrete actions.

3 / 3

Completeness

Explicitly answers both what ("Run a user story mapping workshop...") and when ("Use when you need backbone activities, tasks, and release slices for a workflow"), matching the score-3 what-and-when anchor.

3 / 3

Trigger Term Quality

Includes natural terms a PM would actually say—"story mapping," "backbone activities," "tasks," "release slices," "workflow"—giving good coverage rather than only technical jargon.

3 / 3

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

The story-mapping-workshop niche with backbone/tasks/release-slice triggers is distinct from generic backlog skills and unlikely to trigger for the wrong skill.
