Discovery
57%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 reasonably specific about its narrow task—exporting Google Sheets to CSV—and occupies a distinct niche unlikely to conflict with other skills. However, it lacks an explicit 'Use when...' clause and could benefit from additional trigger terms and mention of related user phrasings to improve discoverability.
Suggestions
Add an explicit 'Use when...' clause, e.g., 'Use when the user asks to download, export, or save a Google Sheets spreadsheet as a CSV file.'
Include common user-facing trigger term variations such as 'download spreadsheet', 'convert to CSV', '.csv file', or 'save Google Sheet locally'.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Specificity | Names the domain (Google Sheets) and a specific action (export as CSV), but describes only a single action rather than listing multiple concrete capabilities. | 2 / 3 |
Completeness | Clearly answers 'what' (export Google Sheets as CSV for backup/processing) but lacks an explicit 'Use when...' clause or equivalent trigger guidance, which caps this at 2 per the rubric. | 2 / 3 |
Trigger Term Quality | Includes relevant keywords like 'Google Sheets', 'CSV', 'export', 'backup', and 'processing', but misses common variations users might say such as 'download spreadsheet', 'convert to CSV', '.csv', or 'save locally'. | 2 / 3 |
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk | The combination of 'Google Sheets' and 'CSV export' is a clear, narrow niche that is unlikely to conflict with other skills such as general spreadsheet analysis or PDF processing. | 3 / 3 |

Implementation
87%Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.
This is a concise, actionable skill that provides clear commands for exporting a Google Sheet as CSV. Its main weakness is the workflow clarity: the 'Or' alternative in step 3 creates ambiguity about whether this is a sequential workflow or two separate approaches, and there's no verification step to confirm the export was successful.
Suggestions
Separate the two approaches (Drive export vs Sheets read) into distinct labeled sections (e.g., '## Option A: Export via Drive' and '## Option B: Read values directly') to eliminate workflow ambiguity.
Add a brief verification step, such as confirming the output file exists or checking its content, after the export command.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | Very lean and efficient. The prerequisite note is necessary context, and every line serves a purpose. No unnecessary explanations of what CSV is or how Google Sheets works. | 3 / 3 |
Actionability | Provides specific, copy-paste ready commands with concrete parameter syntax. Offers two alternative approaches (export via Drive vs read values directly), both with executable commands. | 3 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | Steps are listed clearly but the relationship between steps 2 and 3 is ambiguous—step 3 says 'Or' suggesting it's an alternative to step 2, which muddies the workflow. There's also no validation step to confirm the export succeeded or that the CSV content is correct. | 2 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | For this simple, single-purpose skill under 50 lines, the structure is appropriate. It references prerequisite skills clearly and keeps content well-organized without needing external files. | 3 / 3 |
