Discovery
0%Based on the skill's description, can an agent find and select it at the right time? Clear, specific descriptions lead to better discovery.
This is unfilled template/placeholder text, not an actual skill description. It provides zero information about capabilities, triggers, or use cases. The description must be completely rewritten with actual content describing what the skill does and when to use it.
Suggestions
Replace the placeholder text entirely with a description of the skill's actual capabilities using concrete action verbs (e.g., 'Extracts...', 'Generates...', 'Analyzes...')
Add an explicit 'Use when...' clause that includes natural trigger terms users would actually say when they need this skill
Include specific file types, domains, or task categories to distinguish this skill from others in a multi-skill environment
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Specificity | The description is entirely placeholder text with no concrete actions described. 'Replace with description of the skill' provides zero information about what the skill actually does. | 1 / 3 |
Completeness | Neither 'what' nor 'when' is answered. The phrase 'when Claude should use it' is meta-instruction text, not actual trigger guidance. | 1 / 3 |
Trigger Term Quality | Contains no natural keywords whatsoever - it's template placeholder text that a user would never say when seeking help with any task. | 1 / 3 |
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk | As generic placeholder text, this would provide no differentiation from any other skill and offers no distinct triggers. | 1 / 3 |
Total | 4 / 12 Passed |
Implementation
0%Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.
This skill content is essentially empty, containing only a placeholder comment with no actual instructions. It provides zero value as a skill file and cannot guide Claude to perform any task. The content needs to be completely written from scratch.
Suggestions
Add concrete, executable instructions that describe what task this skill teaches Claude to perform
Include specific code examples or commands that are copy-paste ready
Define a clear workflow with numbered steps if the skill involves a multi-step process
Add a brief overview section followed by well-organized content sections appropriate to the skill's complexity
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The skill content is essentially empty - it contains only a placeholder comment '# Insert instructions below' with no actual instructions, making it impossible to evaluate for token efficiency but clearly providing no value. | 1 / 3 |
Actionability | There is no concrete guidance, code, commands, or examples provided. The content is a placeholder with no actionable instructions whatsoever. | 1 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | No workflow, steps, or processes are defined. The skill body is empty of any procedural content. | 1 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | There is no content structure, no references to other files, and no organization - just an empty placeholder. | 1 / 3 |
Total | 4 / 12 Passed |
