Quality

Content

75%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-crafted single-file skill: concrete, rule-dense guidance with syntax templates and an explicit validation command, and no padding or generic explanations. The remaining improvements are small — trim the language-variation example list, add a fix-and-revalidate loop after 'lat check', and show what a validation failure looks like.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

Lean and rule-dense throughout with no explanations of concepts Claude already knows; only minor trims available, e.g. the six-line multi-language source-link list (two or three examples would do) and the 'Bad Section' counter-example.

4 / 5

Actionability

Concrete templates (good/bad section structure, wiki-link syntax, '@lat:' comments in TypeScript and Python), exact rules (≤250-char first paragraph, 'exactly one @lat: comment'), and a runnable command ('lat check'). Minor gaps: placeholder bodies like '{ ... }' and no sample of reading 'lat check' output to fix errors.

4 / 5

Workflow Clarity

Sections are logically ordered (what belongs → structure → IDs → links → code refs → test specs → validation) and end with an explicit 'Always run lat check after editing' checkpoint listing what it validates. Not 5: the fix-and-re-run feedback loop is implicit rather than stated.

4 / 5

Progressive Disclosure

No bundle files exist; the skill is a single well-organized file with clear section headers, and all content is overview-level rules with nothing that clearly belongs in separate reference files. Not 5: at ~160 lines it exceeds the simple-skill threshold where single-file organization alone earns top marks.

Description

82%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 description: it clearly states what the skill covers and gives an explicit, concrete 'Use when' trigger clause anchored to a distinctive file path. The only weakness is that the capability list stays at the level of 'writing and maintaining' rather than naming the specific authoring operations (structuring sections, wiki links, code refs, test specs).

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Names the domain concretely ('structured markdown that describes a project's architecture, design decisions, and test specs') with the actions 'Writing and maintaining', but does not enumerate several specific actions the way the 4/5 anchors do ('extracts, fills forms, merges, converts').

3 / 5

Completeness

Explicitly answers both: what ('Writing and maintaining lat.md documentation files — structured markdown that describes a project's architecture, design decisions, and test specs') and when ('Use when creating, editing, or reviewing files in the lat.md/ directory') with concrete trigger phrases.

5 / 5

Trigger Term Quality

Good natural-term coverage: 'creating, editing, or reviewing files in the lat.md/ directory' plus 'architecture, design decisions, and test specs'. A 5 would add synonyms or variations beyond the single lat.md spelling.

4 / 5

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

'lat.md/' is a clear niche with distinct triggers; no other skill category would claim these terms, so conflict risk is minimal.
