Quality

Content

87%

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

This is a well-crafted skill that is concise, actionable, and appropriately scoped. It clearly defines when to use the tool (and when not to), provides complete executable commands, and includes important safety guardrails. The main weakness is that the workflow for sending messages could benefit from a more explicit step-by-step sequence with validation checkpoints, given the potentially sensitive nature of sending messages on someone's behalf.

Suggestions

Add an explicit numbered workflow for the send operation: 1. Confirm recipient identity (use `wacli chats list` to verify JID), 2. Confirm message content with user, 3. Send, 4. Verify delivery status—this would strengthen the safety guardrails and improve workflow clarity.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

The skill is lean and efficient. It avoids explaining what WhatsApp is or how CLIs work. Every line provides actionable information—when to use the tool, safety constraints, and exact commands. The repeated note about not using wacli for routine chats is slightly redundant (appears in intro and Notes) but serves as an important safety guardrail.

3 / 3

Actionability

Every section provides concrete, copy-paste-ready commands with realistic arguments (phone numbers, JIDs, flags). The send examples include text, group, and file variants with complete syntax. No pseudocode or vague descriptions.

3 / 3

Workflow Clarity

The safety section provides a clear confirm-before-send checkpoint, which is good. However, the overall workflow sequence (auth → sync → find → send) is implied by section ordering but not explicitly stated as a sequence. For a destructive operation like sending messages to third parties, a more explicit workflow with validation steps (e.g., verify recipient JID before sending) would strengthen this.

2 / 3

Progressive Disclosure

For a simple, single-purpose CLI skill under 50 lines with no bundle files, the content is well-organized into logical sections (safety, auth, find, send, notes) that are easy to scan. No external references are needed given the scope.

Description

72%

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 reasonably effective, identifying a clear niche (WhatsApp via wacli CLI) with good trigger terms and strong distinctiveness. Its main weaknesses are the lack of an explicit 'Use when...' clause and somewhat limited enumeration of specific capabilities beyond sending messages and searching/syncing history.

Suggestions

Add an explicit 'Use when...' clause, e.g., 'Use when the user asks to send a WhatsApp message, search WhatsApp conversations, or sync WhatsApp history.'

Expand the list of specific actions to be more comprehensive, e.g., mention sending to contacts or groups, searching by keyword or date, syncing with external systems.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Names the domain (WhatsApp) and some actions (send messages, search/sync history), but doesn't list comprehensive specific actions like formatting options, group messaging, media handling, etc.

2 / 3

Completeness

Describes what it does (send WhatsApp messages, search/sync history via wacli) and includes a partial scope note ('not for normal user chats'), but lacks an explicit 'Use when...' clause with trigger guidance, capping this at 2.

2 / 3

Trigger Term Quality

Includes strong natural trigger terms: 'WhatsApp', 'messages', 'search', 'sync', 'history', and the tool name 'wacli'. Users would naturally use these terms when needing this skill.

3 / 3

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

Very distinct niche — WhatsApp messaging via a specific CLI tool (wacli). The clarification 'not for normal user chats' further narrows scope and reduces conflict risk with general chat or messaging skills.
