Discovery
40%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 clear, specific platform (Google Chat) and action (send a message to a space), giving it good distinctiveness. However, it lacks a 'Use when...' clause, covers only a single action, and misses common keyword variations that would help Claude select it reliably.
Suggestions
Add a 'Use when...' clause with trigger terms like 'Use when the user wants to send a message in Google Chat, post to a Google Chat space, or notify a chat room.'
Include additional natural keyword variations such as 'Google Spaces', 'chat message', 'post message', or 'Google Workspace chat'.
If the skill supports additional capabilities (e.g., formatting messages, sending cards, mentioning users), list them to improve specificity.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Specificity | Names the domain (Google Chat) and one specific action (send a message to a space), but only describes a single capability rather than listing multiple concrete actions. | 2 / 3 |
Completeness | Describes what it does (send a message to a space) but completely lacks a 'Use when...' clause or any explicit trigger guidance, which per the rubric caps completeness at 2, and the 'what' is also minimal, warranting a 1. | 1 / 3 |
Trigger Term Quality | Includes natural keywords like 'Google Chat', 'message', and 'space' that users might say, but misses common variations like 'chat message', 'Google Spaces', 'Hangouts', or 'send notification'. | 2 / 3 |
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk | The combination of 'Google Chat' and 'send a message to a space' is quite specific and unlikely to conflict with other skills; it clearly targets a distinct platform and action. | 3 / 3 |
Total | 8 / 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 an excellent, concise skill that does exactly what it needs to. It provides clear, actionable guidance for a single-purpose command with appropriate safety warnings for the write operation, good cross-references to related skills, and zero unnecessary verbosity.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | Every token earns its place. No unnecessary explanations of what Google Chat is or how messaging works. The content is lean, with just the command, flags, an example, and essential tips. | 3 / 3 |
Actionability | Provides a fully copy-paste ready command with clear flag descriptions, a concrete example, and actionable tips for discovering space names. Nothing is left vague. | 3 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | This is a simple single-action skill (send a message), and the single action is unambiguous. It includes a caution to confirm with the user before executing (a write operation), which serves as a validation checkpoint. | 3 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | Clear prerequisite reference to shared auth/flags skill, well-signaled 'See Also' links to related skills, and content is appropriately scoped to just this command without inlining unrelated details. | 3 / 3 |
Total | 12 / 12 Passed |
