Quality

Content

77%

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

A highly actionable skill body with executable examples and a clear scaffold workflow, held back only by mild verbosity and a single-file structure that could offload tangential detail to references.

Suggestions

Move the 'Anthropic / Claude plugin compatibility' section into a reference file and link to it, keeping the core scaffold flow in SKILL.md.

Trim the second full code example to focus on the new concept (system.transform hook + multiple tools) rather than re-demonstrating the zod args pattern already shown in the minimal shape.

Add a verification checkpoint to the scaffold workflow (e.g., 'restart the session and confirm the tool appears') to close the loop on plugin loading.

Dimension	Reasoning	Score
Conciseness	Mostly lean with no basic-concept padding, but the two overlapping full code examples (minimal shape and multi-tool) and the tangential Anthropic-compatibility table add length that could be tightened.	2 / 3
Actionability	Provides copy-paste-ready executable TypeScript/zod examples, concrete file locations, and explicit opencode.json snippets — fully actionable rather than descriptive.	3 / 3
Workflow Clarity	The 'Scaffold workflow' gives a clear three-step sequence (create file, register in opencode.json, restart session) and this scaffolding task is not a destructive/batch operation requiring feedback loops.	3 / 3
Progressive Disclosure	Single well-sectioned file with clear headings, but at ~160 lines with no external references the compatibility section and long multi-tool example are content that could be split into reference files.	2 / 3
	Total	10 / 12 Passed

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.

A strong, concise description that names concrete actions, supplies explicit natural-language triggers, and pins down a distinct niche. It answers both 'what' and 'when' without padding.

Dimension	Reasoning	Score
Specificity	Lists multiple concrete actions — 'Scaffolds the plugin file with the correct API shape, tool definitions, and hook registration' — matching the top anchor rather than the partial 'names domain and some actions' level below.	3 / 3
Completeness	Explicitly answers both what ('Create an OpenCode plugin... Scaffolds the plugin file...') and when ('Use when the user asks to...'), with an explicit trigger clause.	3 / 3
Trigger Term Quality	Quotes natural user phrasings — 'create a plugin', 'write a plugin', or 'make a plugin that does X' — giving good coverage of terms a user would actually say, not jargon.	3 / 3
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk	Targets a clear niche (OpenCode plugin for OpenWork) with distinct 'create/write/make a plugin' triggers, making overlap with other skills unlikely.	3 / 3
	Total	12 / 12 Passed
