Quality

Content

100%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.

An exemplary lean, fully executable workflow: concrete commands, explicit conflict-handling and verification checkpoints, and clean section organization with no padding. No bundle files are present and none are needed at this size.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

~60 lean lines with zero concept explanations: every line instructs (commands, paths, conflict handling). The one illustrative sentence ("gh pr checkout handles fetching, fork tracking, and branch setup automatically") earns its place by preventing redundant manual steps.

5 / 5

Actionability

Fully executable, copy-paste-ready commands throughout: `mkdir -p <repo-root>/.worktrees`, `git worktree add .worktrees/<name> --detach`, `gh pr view <number> --json headRefName -q .headRefName`, `git checkout --no-track -b <new-branch>`, and concrete edge-case handling (existing worktree, branch already checked out elsewhere).

5 / 5

Workflow Clarity

A clearly sequenced 4-step workflow with explicit checkpoints: branch-conflict detection (check `git worktree list` output, then `AskUserQuestion` with a defined stop condition) and a `pwd` verification step that halts on failure. Worktree creation is not a destructive or batch operation, so no validation cap applies.

5 / 5

Progressive Disclosure

No bundle files exist (references/, scripts/, assets/ are absent) and none are needed: the skill is short and self-contained with well-organized sections (Steps 1-4). Per the rubric's simple-skill guidance, well-organized sections suffice when no external references are required.

Description

70%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 specific, third-person description naming concrete actions in a distinct niche, weakened by the absence of an explicit "Use when..." trigger clause and slightly thin synonym coverage. Adding trigger guidance would lift the two dimensions currently scoring 3 and 4.

Suggestions

Append an explicit trigger clause, e.g. "Use when asked to review a PR, work on a branch in isolation, or set up an isolated checkout."

Add natural variations users would say: "worktrees", "PR", "check out a pull request", "isolated checkout".

Optionally mention that it can set up a new branch in the worktree, since the body supports it (git checkout --no-track -b).

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

"Create or reuse a git worktree for a pull request or branch" names the domain and several concrete actions (create, reuse, PR/branch handling) with only minor coverage gaps. It falls between the 1-2-action anchor (3) and the multiple-specific-actions anchor (5), noticeably above the midpoint.

4 / 5

Completeness

The "what" is clear ("Create or reuse a git worktree for a pull request or branch"), but there is no "Use when..." clause or equivalent explicit trigger guidance; "so reviews and work happen in isolation" only weakly implies when. Per the rubric guidelines, a missing trigger clause caps completeness at 3.

3 / 5

Trigger Term Quality

Natural keywords "git worktree", "pull request", "branch", "reviews", "isolation" give good coverage of what a user would say. Missing common variations like "worktrees", "PR", or "checkout", so it does not reach the comprehensive synonym coverage of 5.

4 / 5

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

"git worktree" is a clear niche with distinct triggers (worktree, pull request, branch checkout in isolation); a user asking for a worktree would unambiguously land here. Minimal overlap with other skills.
