Quality

Discovery

89%

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 a well-structured description with excellent trigger term coverage and clear 'when to use' guidance. Its main weakness is that the 'what it does' portion leans more toward topic areas (phased launches, channel strategy) rather than concrete actions or deliverables. Adding specific outputs like 'creates launch timelines, drafts announcement copy, builds distribution plans' would strengthen it.

Suggestions

Replace or supplement the topic-area phrases ('phased launches, channel strategy, ongoing launch momentum') with concrete actions like 'creates launch timelines, drafts announcement copy, designs channel distribution plans, builds waitlist strategies.'

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

The description names the domain (product launches) and mentions some actions like 'phased launches, channel strategy, and ongoing launch momentum,' but these are more like topic areas than concrete actions. It doesn't list specific deliverables like 'create launch timelines, draft announcement copy, build channel distribution plans.'

2 / 3

Completeness

Clearly answers both 'what' (plan product launches, feature announcements, release strategies, phased launches, channel strategy, launch momentum) and 'when' (explicit 'Use when' clause with specific trigger terms and scenarios).

3 / 3

Trigger Term Quality

Excellent coverage of natural trigger terms: 'launch,' 'Product Hunt,' 'feature release,' 'announcement,' 'go-to-market,' 'beta launch,' 'early access,' 'waitlist,' 'product update.' These are terms users would naturally use when seeking launch planning help.

3 / 3

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

The description carves out a clear niche around product launch planning with highly specific triggers like 'Product Hunt,' 'go-to-market,' 'beta launch,' and 'waitlist' that are unlikely to conflict with other skills like general marketing or project management.

Implementation

47%

Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.

This is a comprehensive marketing strategy guide that reads more like a blog post or playbook than a concise skill instruction. Its strongest aspect is workflow clarity with well-sequenced phases and checklists, but it suffers significantly from verbosity—explaining general marketing concepts, including lengthy case studies, and providing strategic advice that Claude already understands. The actionability is moderate; while checklists and phases are helpful, the skill lacks concrete templates, example copy, or specific artifacts Claude could produce.

Suggestions

Cut the content by 50-60%: remove case studies, explanations of what owned/rented/borrowed channels are, and general marketing philosophy. Focus on the decision framework and specific actions Claude should take.

Add concrete, copy-paste-ready templates: e.g., a Product Hunt listing template, a launch email template, a launch blog post outline, or a specific messaging framework Claude can fill in for the user.

Extract the ORB framework details, Product Hunt strategy, and case studies into separate reference files (e.g., ORB-FRAMEWORK.md, PRODUCT-HUNT.md) and keep SKILL.md as a lean overview with links.

Replace vague actions like 'Create landing page with clear value proposition' with specific deliverables Claude should produce, such as 'Generate a landing page copy draft with headline, subheadline, 3 benefit bullets, and CTA.'

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

The skill is extremely verbose at ~300+ lines, explaining general marketing concepts (what owned/rented/borrowed channels are, why they matter) that Claude already knows. Extensive case studies (Superhuman, Notion, TRMNL, SavvyCal, Reform) add flavor but consume significant tokens without providing actionable specificity. Much of this reads like a marketing blog post rather than a concise skill instruction.

1 / 3

Actionability

The skill provides structured checklists and phase-by-phase actions, which are somewhat concrete. However, there are no executable code snippets, no specific templates or copy examples, and guidance remains at the strategic/conceptual level (e.g., 'Create landing page with clear value proposition') rather than providing concrete artifacts Claude could generate or specific frameworks to fill in.

2 / 3

Workflow Clarity

The five-phase launch approach is clearly sequenced with explicit goals per phase, and the pre-launch/launch-day/post-launch checklists provide clear validation checkpoints. The progression from internal → alpha → beta → early access → full launch is well-defined with specific actions at each stage.

3 / 3

Progressive Disclosure

The skill references related skills at the bottom (marketing-ideas, email-sequence, page-cro, etc.) which is good navigation. However, the body itself is monolithic—all content is inline in one massive file with no content split into supporting files. The ORB framework details, Product Hunt strategy, and case studies could easily be separate reference files to keep the main skill lean.
