Discovery
50%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 names a specific platform (Google Classroom) with two concrete actions, giving it good distinctiveness. However, it lacks a 'Use when...' clause, which is critical for Claude to know when to select this skill. Adding trigger guidance and more keyword variations would significantly improve its effectiveness.
Suggestions
Add a 'Use when...' clause, e.g., 'Use when the user asks to set up a Google Classroom course, create a class, or add/invite students to a classroom.'
Include common keyword variations such as 'set up a class', 'enroll students', 'add students', 'classroom setup', or 'Google Classroom integration'.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Specificity | Lists two specific concrete actions: 'Create a Google Classroom course' and 'invite students.' These are clear, actionable capabilities. | 3 / 3 |
Completeness | The description answers 'what does this do' but completely lacks a 'Use when...' clause or any explicit trigger guidance, which per the rubric should cap completeness at 2, and since the 'when' is entirely missing, it scores 1. | 1 / 3 |
Trigger Term Quality | Includes natural keywords like 'Google Classroom', 'course', and 'invite students' which users might say, but misses common variations like 'add students', 'set up a class', 'classroom setup', or 'enroll students'. | 2 / 3 |
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk | The mention of 'Google Classroom' specifically creates a clear niche that is unlikely to conflict with other skills. This is a very distinct domain. | 3 / 3 |
Total | 9 / 12 Passed |
Implementation
87%Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.
A concise, actionable skill that provides clear CLI commands for creating a Google Classroom course and inviting students. Its main weakness is the lack of validation steps—there's no guidance on capturing the COURSE_ID from step 1 or verifying that invitations succeeded. The workflow would benefit from explicit output capture and error handling.
Suggestions
Add explicit instruction to capture COURSE_ID from the output of step 1, e.g., 'Note the courseId from the response and use it in subsequent steps.'
Add a verification step after creating the course (e.g., `gws classroom courses get`) and after inviting students to confirm success.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | Very lean and efficient. No unnecessary explanations of what Google Classroom is or how APIs work. Every line serves a purpose. | 3 / 3 |
Actionability | Provides fully concrete, copy-paste ready CLI commands with specific JSON payloads and flags. The commands are executable and include realistic example values. | 3 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | Steps are clearly sequenced, but there's no validation or error handling. Step 2 uses 'COURSE_ID' placeholder without explicitly instructing to capture it from step 1's output. No feedback loop for failed invitations or verification that the course was created successfully. | 2 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | For a simple, single-purpose skill under 50 lines, the structure is appropriate. It references the prerequisite skill clearly and keeps content well-organized without unnecessary nesting. | 3 / 3 |
Total | 11 / 12 Passed |
Validation
90%Checks the skill against the spec for correct structure and formatting. All validation checks must pass before discovery and implementation can be scored.
