Evals

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 identifies a clear domain (Google Calendar) but is too narrow in scope, mentioning only one capability (showing events). It critically lacks explicit trigger guidance ('Use when...') and misses natural user phrases like 'schedule', 'meetings', or 'what's on my calendar' that would help Claude select this skill appropriately.

Suggestions

Add a 'Use when...' clause with trigger terms like 'check my calendar', 'what meetings do I have', 'schedule', 'appointments', 'agenda'

Expand the capability list to include other actions if supported (e.g., 'create events', 'check availability', 'find free time')

Include natural user phrases and variations like 'gcal', 'my schedule', 'what's coming up'

Dimension	Reasoning	Score
Specificity	Names the domain (Google Calendar) and one action (show upcoming events), but lacks comprehensive actions like creating events, modifying events, or managing calendars.	2 / 3
Completeness	Describes what it does (show upcoming events) but completely lacks a 'Use when...' clause or any explicit trigger guidance for when Claude should select this skill.	1 / 3
Trigger Term Quality	Includes 'Google Calendar' and 'upcoming events' which are natural terms, but misses common variations like 'schedule', 'appointments', 'meetings', 'what's on my calendar', or 'agenda'.	2 / 3
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk	'Google Calendar' is specific enough to distinguish from generic document or code skills, but could overlap with other calendar-related skills or scheduling tools without clearer trigger boundaries.	2 / 3
	Total	7 / 12 Passed

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 a well-crafted skill that exemplifies good documentation practices. It's concise, provides actionable examples, and appropriately references shared documentation for auth and related commands. The read-only nature is clearly communicated, and the flag table provides all necessary details without verbosity.

Dimension	Reasoning	Score
Conciseness	Lean and efficient with no unnecessary explanations. Every section serves a purpose - usage, flags, examples, and tips are all essential information without padding.	3 / 3
Actionability	Provides concrete, copy-paste ready commands with multiple practical examples showing different flag combinations. The flag table gives specific details needed for execution.	3 / 3
Workflow Clarity	This is a simple, single-purpose read-only command. The workflow is unambiguous - run the command with optional flags. No multi-step process or validation needed since it's read-only.	3 / 3
Progressive Disclosure	Excellent structure with clear overview, well-organized sections, and one-level-deep references to related skills (gws-shared for auth, gws-calendar for related commands). Prerequisite is clearly signaled at the top.	3 / 3
	Total	12 / 12 Passed
