Quality

Content

67%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 body delivers an actionable, well-sequenced workflow with executable gh CLI commands and a verification step. Weaknesses are verbosity in the YAML-forms handling and the absence of an explicit error-recovery loop.

Suggestions

Tighten the YAML-forms section into a single concrete instruction (e.g. use --field flags with a short example) and drop the repository-specific gemini-cli note.

Add an explicit feedback loop in the Verify step: if 'gh issue create' fails or returns no URL, inspect the error and retry.

Replace placeholder tokens like <temp_file_path> with a concrete example path to make the commands fully copy-paste ready.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

Steps are mostly efficient, but the YAML-forms section hedges ('While… However… OR to use…') and the gemini-cli note is tangential, adding unnecessary explanation per anchor 3.

3 / 5

Actionability

Provides copy-paste-ready commands ('gh issue create --title … --body-file <temp_file_path> --label …') with placeholders; the YAML-form submission path is vague and hedging, leaving minor gaps matching anchor 4.

4 / 5

Workflow Clarity

A clear 6-step sequence ends with a Verify step; issue creation is not destructive/batch so the cap-3 rule does not apply, but there is no explicit error-recovery feedback loop, fitting anchor 4.

4 / 5

Progressive Disclosure

No bundle files exist and the content is self-contained with well-organized Workflow and Principles sections; slightly over 50 lines so it sits at anchor 4 rather than the simple-skill 5.

Description

70%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 clearly states both what the skill does and when to use it, with natural trigger phrasing and a distinct niche. It is slightly held back by generic verbs ('handles', 'ensures') and a single trigger phrase rather than comprehensive synonyms.

Suggestions

Replace generic verbs with concrete actions, e.g. 'creates GitHub issues from repository templates, maps fields, and applies labels'.

Add synonym trigger phrases such as 'file an issue' or 'open a bug report' to broaden natural keyword coverage.

Mention the output artifact explicitly (e.g. 'opens the issue via the gh CLI') to sharpen distinctiveness.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Names the domain and several actions ('handles different issue types (bug, feature, etc.)', 'using repository templates', 'ensures proper labeling'), but verbs like 'handles' and 'ensures' are somewhat generic, landing between anchors 3 and 4.

3 / 5

Completeness

Both the explicit trigger ('Use this skill when asked to create a GitHub issue') and the 'what' (templates, labeling, issue types) are present, but 'when' is a single trigger phrase rather than multiple concrete ones, fitting anchor 4.

4 / 5

Trigger Term Quality

'create a GitHub issue', 'bug', and 'feature' are natural user phrases with good coverage, though it misses synonyms like 'file an issue' or 'open a ticket', matching anchor 4.

4 / 5

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

'create a GitHub issue' is a clear niche with minimal conflict risk, though it could overlap slightly with broader GitHub or git-management skills, matching anchor 4.
