Quality

Content

100%

Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.

An exemplary short skill body: actionable copy-paste examples, a tight CLI reference, and a clear internal-process sequence, all with no wasted tokens. The single referenced bundle file exists and is appropriately surfaced.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

Lean and efficient: a one-line install, three runnable examples, terse how-it-works bullets, a CLI table, and an output schema — no padding or explanation of concepts Claude already knows.

3 / 3

Actionability

Three copy-paste-ready CLI invocations with real flags, a complete CLI reference table, and a concrete JSON output schema give fully executable guidance.

3 / 3

Workflow Clarity

A clear 6-step numbered sequence explains what the script does internally; for this single-task read-only search skill the action is unambiguous and no validation checkpoint is needed.

3 / 3

Progressive Disclosure

Well-organized into focused sections (Quick Start, How the Script Works, CLI Reference, Output Format, Cost) with a single real bundle reference (scripts/search_hn.py) and no nested references.

Description

100%

Based on the skill's description, can an agent find and select it at the right time? Clear, specific descriptions lead to better discovery.

A strong description: concise, third-person, with multiple concrete actions and an explicit 'Use when...' trigger clause covering natural user phrasings. It cleanly answers both what the skill does and when to invoke it.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Names multiple concrete actions — 'Search Hacker News stories and comments', 'track mentions', 'discover Show HN launches', 'monitor tech community sentiment' — rather than vague language.

3 / 3

Completeness

Explicitly answers both what ('Search Hacker News stories and comments using the free Algolia API') and when ('Use when you need to find HN discussions...'), with an explicit trigger clause.

3 / 3

Trigger Term Quality

The 'Use when you need to find HN discussions, track mentions, discover Show HN launches' clause covers natural phrases a user would say, with good variation across trigger contexts.

3 / 3

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

A clear Hacker News/Algolia niche with distinct triggers; very unlikely to fire for an unrelated skill.
