Quality

Content

86%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.

A well-architected skill body: dense, non-padded overview that routes detail to a complete set of real reference files, with executable scaffolding and a testing section covering validation. Main gaps are deferred API signatures and the absence of an explicit error-recovery feedback loop.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

Lean and dense throughout — no padding explaining what a CMS or plugin is; every line (format table, capability table, scaffold commands, behavioral rules) earns its place and assumes Claude's competence.

5 / 5

Actionability

Provides copy-paste scaffold commands, an executable src/plugin.ts example, and named helpers (pluginRoute, createPluginTestHost, host.http.respond), but full type signatures and some API detail are deferred to references, leaving minor gaps.

4 / 5

Workflow Clarity

A clear sequenced flow (choose format → scaffold → declare access → routes/hooks/UI → runner parity → test) with a dedicated testing section and two test-host tiers serving as validation checkpoints, but no explicit validate→fix→retry loop or checklist.

4 / 5

Progressive Disclosure

Clear overview with 12 well-signaled one-level-deep reference links, all of which resolve to real files in ./references/, with content appropriately split and easy navigation.

Description

92%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 strong, third-person description that names the domain, enumerates concrete capabilities, and gives an explicit 'Use when' trigger for a distinct niche. Only minor weakness is limited synonym/variation coverage in trigger terms.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Lists multiple concrete actions — 'sandboxed hooks, routes, storage, content and media APIs, MCP tools, and declarative admin UI, or native React and Astro extensions' — giving comprehensive coverage of plugin capabilities rather than vague abstraction.

5 / 5

Completeness

Explicitly answers both 'what' (create plugins with the listed capabilities/native extensions) and 'when' ('Use when scaffolding or implementing an EmDash plugin') with concrete trigger phrases.

5 / 5

Trigger Term Quality

Natural domain terms are present ('EmDash CMS plugins', 'scaffolding', 'implementing', 'EmDash plugin') plus capability keywords, but synonym variations (e.g. 'build', 'develop', 'extension') are missing, so it sits just below comprehensive.

4 / 5

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

'EmDash CMS plugins' is a clear, narrow niche with distinct triggers and minimal overlap risk with other skills.
