Quality

Content

88%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.

The skill body is a lean, well-structured playbook with concrete tooling, query patterns, and a defined output format. Its main gap is the absence of an explicit validation/retry feedback loop for the batch query and contact-discovery steps.

Suggestions

Add an explicit validate→fix→retry loop for batch SERP queries (e.g., if results are off-topic, refine query patterns and re-run before drafting).

Specify a verification checkpoint for discovered contact details (confirm source URL recorded, sanity-check the address) before including them in outreach drafts.

Tighten the prospecting query patterns list, which is partly speculative boilerplate, to the patterns the workflow actually depends on.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

The body is efficient and assumes SEO competence, using compact section/bullet structure with minimal padding; a few list-heavy sections could be tightened slightly, placing it just below fully lean.

4 / 5

Actionability

Names specific MCP tools, query patterns, filter/prioritization criteria, and an explicit output table schema, giving mostly executable guidance with only minor gaps.

4 / 5

Workflow Clarity

A clear 9-step sequence with checkpoints (research-log dedup before spending credits, backlink fallback, local SEO branch) is present, though there is no explicit validate→fix→retry loop, which would reach the top anchor.

4 / 5

Progressive Disclosure

A single self-contained file with well-organized, clearly headed sections and no need for external references; per the simple-skill guidance this qualifies for the top score.

Description

75%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.

The description is specific and distinct, clearly naming concrete actions and domain inputs, but it omits an explicit 'Use when...' trigger clause, which caps its completeness. Adding a trigger phrase would lift it to the top tier.

Suggestions

Append an explicit trigger clause such as 'Use when building links, doing outreach, or finding sites and authors likely to reference a page or asset.'

Add common synonyms users say ('link building', 'guest posts', 'backlinks') to broaden natural keyword coverage.

Keep the third-person voice but consider naming the asset types (page, product, study, guide) to sharpen the trigger surface.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Lists multiple concrete actions ('Find link prospects, discover contact paths, and draft outreach') grounded in specific inputs ('from SERPs and backlink signals'), giving comprehensive coverage.

5 / 5

Completeness

The 'what' is clear (find prospects, discover contacts, draft outreach) but there is no explicit 'Use when...' trigger clause, which per the guidelines caps completeness at 3.

3 / 5

Trigger Term Quality

Includes natural terms users would say ('link prospects', 'SERPs', 'backlink', 'outreach') but misses common synonyms like 'link building', 'guest posts', or 'backlinks', so it falls just below comprehensive.

4 / 5

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

The link-prospecting/outreach niche is distinct with specialized triggers ('link prospects', 'backlink signals') that are unlikely to fire for unrelated skills.
