Discovery
32%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 concise and identifies a specific niche (removing LLM-generated comments from code), which gives it some distinctiveness. However, it lacks a 'Use when...' clause, provides only a single action, and misses natural trigger terms users might employ when requesting this functionality.
Suggestions
Add a 'Use when...' clause with trigger terms like 'clean up AI comments', 'remove generated comments', 'strip boilerplate comments', 'code has too many comments'.
Expand the capability description to list specific actions, e.g., 'Removes unnecessary LLM-generated comments, cleans up redundant explanatory notes, and strips obvious boilerplate annotations from code'.
Include common user-facing synonyms such as 'AI-generated', 'auto-generated', 'ChatGPT comments', 'Copilot comments' to improve trigger term coverage.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Specificity | Names a specific action ('remove unnecessary LLM-generated comments') and a domain ('code'), but only describes a single action rather than listing multiple concrete capabilities. | 2 / 3 |
Completeness | Describes what the skill does but has no 'Use when...' clause or equivalent explicit trigger guidance. Per the rubric, a missing 'Use when...' clause caps completeness at 2, and since the 'what' is also minimal, this scores a 1. | 1 / 3 |
Trigger Term Quality | Includes some relevant terms like 'comments', 'code', and 'LLM-generated', but misses common variations users might say such as 'clean up code', 'AI-generated comments', 'remove boilerplate comments', 'strip comments', or 'code cleanup'. | 2 / 3 |
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk | The phrase 'LLM-generated comments' is fairly distinctive and narrows the scope, but 'remove comments from code' could overlap with general code formatting or linting skills. The niche is somewhat clear but not sharply delineated. | 2 / 3 |

Implementation
100%Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.
This is an excellent, tightly-written skill that teaches through concrete examples rather than abstract explanation. The 'what to remove' vs 'what to keep' structure creates a clear decision framework, and the before/after example solidifies understanding. The brief editorial asides ('That's what git history is for') add personality without wasting tokens.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | Every section earns its place. The skill teaches pattern recognition through concrete examples rather than explaining what comments are or why clean code matters. No wasted tokens. | 3 / 3 |
Actionability | Provides concrete, real-world code examples across four languages showing exactly what to remove and what to keep. The before/after example is copy-paste demonstrable and leaves no ambiguity about the expected transformation. | 3 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | This is a single-task skill (identify and remove bad comments) with a clear decision framework: remove narration/changelog/section markers/filler, keep why-comments/links/warnings/licenses/doc-comments. The workflow is unambiguous for this non-destructive, non-batch operation. | 3 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | For a focused, single-purpose skill under 50 lines of instructional content, the structure is well-organized with clear sections (what to remove, what to keep, full example). No need for external references. | 3 / 3 |
