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. The main weakness is that the capability descriptions are somewhat high-level ('program design, incentive structure') rather than listing specific concrete actions. Overall, it would effectively help Claude select this skill when appropriate.
Suggestions
Add more specific concrete actions to improve specificity, such as 'design reward tiers, calculate commission structures, create referral tracking workflows, draft partner agreements'
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Specificity | Names the domain (referral/affiliate programs) and mentions some actions ('create, optimize, or analyze') plus areas covered ('program design, incentive structure, and growth optimization'), but these are somewhat high-level rather than concrete specific actions like 'calculate commission rates' or 'design reward tiers'. | 2 / 3 |
Completeness | Clearly answers both what ('create, optimize, or analyze a referral program... covers program design, incentive structure, and growth optimization') and when ('When the user wants to...' plus explicit 'Also use when the user mentions...' with trigger terms). | 3 / 3 |
Trigger Term Quality | Excellent coverage of natural terms users would say: 'referral,' 'affiliate,' 'ambassador,' 'word of mouth,' 'viral loop,' 'refer a friend,' 'partner program.' These are all terms users would naturally use when seeking help with this topic. | 3 / 3 |
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk | Clear niche focused specifically on referral/affiliate programs with distinct trigger terms. Unlikely to conflict with general marketing or business skills due to the specific terminology like 'viral loop,' 'refer a friend,' and 'ambassador.' | 3 / 3 |
Total | 11 / 12 Passed |
Implementation
85%Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.
This is a well-structured skill with strong actionability and excellent progressive disclosure. The workflow is clear with good sequencing and checklists. Minor verbosity in introductory framing and some explanatory content that Claude already knows prevents a perfect conciseness score, but overall this is a high-quality skill body.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The skill is reasonably efficient but includes some unnecessary explanatory content like 'Your goal is to help design and optimize programs that turn customers into growth engines' and the 'Typical Findings' statistics that Claude likely knows. Some sections could be tightened. | 2 / 3 |
Actionability | Provides concrete, actionable guidance throughout: specific email templates, detailed checklists, clear A/B test categories, specific metrics to track, and a problems/fixes table with direct solutions. The launch checklist is copy-paste ready. | 3 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | Clear multi-step workflows with explicit sequencing: the referral loop diagram, step-by-step program design process, and phased launch checklist (Before/Launch/Post-Launch) provide excellent structure with built-in validation points like 'Test complete referral flow' before launch. | 3 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | Excellent structure with clear one-level-deep references: links to program-examples.md for incentive details, affiliate-programs.md for detailed affiliate content, tools registry, and specific tool integration guides. Main content stays focused while pointing to detailed resources. | 3 / 3 |
Total | 11 / 12 Passed |
