Quality

Content

61%Weight 40%Scale 1-5

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

The body is token-efficient and well-sectioned for a self-contained skill, but its guidance is more conceptual checklist than executable playbook: no example subagent prompts or templates, and the verify step lacks explicit criteria or a fix-retry loop. Restructuring the bullets into an ordered workflow with validation criteria would lift both actionability and workflow clarity.

Suggestions

Restructure the workflow into an explicitly ordered sequence (prep → CODEMAP → detect task type → scope → dispatch → merge → verify) so the sequence is not scattered across concept bullets.

Add one or two concrete example subagent prompts (or a scope/boundary template) showing exactly what to pass for 'scope paths, goal, context, ...' — currently only the field names are given.

Make the verification step actionable: specify what the verify subagents check (boundary violations, missed files, contract adherence) and what to do on failure (re-dispatch with corrections).

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

The body is dense bullet-point guidance with no padding and no explanations of concepts Claude already knows, matching level 4's 'efficient; minor instances ... that could be trimmed'. It is not level 5 because fragments like 'Two strategies (mutually exclusive)' and the terse 'Subagent: discoverer, explore, etc.' bullets restate or dangle information that could be tightened.

4 / 5

Actionability

Some guidance is concrete (the subagent output structure listing 'analysis scope, TLDR answer, quick navigation ...', and the enumerated fields to pass each subagent), but there are no example prompts, templates, or commands, and directives like 'Resolve cross-scope deps via execution ordering' stay abstract — matching level 3's 'some concrete guidance but incomplete; missing key details'. It is not level 2 because the field lists and output structures give more than high-level hints.

3 / 5

Workflow Clarity

A rough sequence exists (prerequisites → detect task type → scope → spawn subagents → summarize/merge → verify), but the ordering is fragmented across 'core_concepts' bullets and the sole checkpoint ('spawn another set of subagents to verify that the work was done properly') is vague with no criteria or fix-retry loop, matching level 3's 'steps listed but validation gaps'. Level 4 requires most checkpoints to be explicit and concrete.

3 / 5

Progressive Disclosure

The skill is a short, self-contained body (~60 lines) with no bundle directories, and content is organized into sections (role, when-to-use, two strategy subsections, task-type detection, scoping), matching level 4's 'good structure; most content appropriately placed; minor organization gaps'. It is not level 5 because the flat bullet mixing of prerequisites, strategy details, and generic scoping rules could be organized more cleanly, and the KB references (init-workspace-discovery, reverse-engineering) are named without paths or navigation.

Description

62%Weight 40%Scale 1-5

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 compact and answers both 'what' and 'when' with a clear numeric threshold, but it undersells the skill's scope and lacks natural trigger synonyms. Its distinctiveness is good but adjacent to general delegation skills.

Suggestions

Add trigger phrases users would naturally say, e.g. 'Use when the user asks to analyze, document, or modify a large codebase or the workspace has too many files to read in one pass'.

Mention both strategies briefly (e.g. 'summarizes via research subagents or distributes changes via contract-scoped executor subagents') to make the 'what' more comprehensive and distinctive.

Include synonyms such as 'huge codebase', 'big repo', or 'delegate to subagents' to improve trigger-term coverage.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

The description names the domain ("large workspaces (100+ files)") and one concrete action ("partition ... into scoped subagent tasks"), which matches the level-3 anchor of naming the domain with 1-2 concrete actions but not comprehensive coverage. It omits the skill's actual capabilities (summarize/index vs. work distribution, verification passes), so it does not reach level 4's 'several specific actions'.

3 / 5

Completeness

Both parts are present: what it does ("partition large workspaces ... into scoped subagent tasks") and when ("when context is insufficient"), matching level 4 where both 'what' and 'when' exist but the 'when' could be more explicit. It is not level 5 because the when-clause lacks concrete user trigger phrases and the parenthetical '(100+ files)' is a threshold, not a usage trigger.

4 / 5

Trigger Term Quality

"large workspaces", "100+ files", and "subagent tasks" are relevant keywords, but common natural variations users would say are missing (e.g. "huge codebase", "too many files", "delegate", "parallel agents"), matching the level-3 anchor of some relevant keywords but missing synonyms. It is above level 2 because the terms present are domain-specific rather than generic.

3 / 5

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

"Partition large workspaces (100+ files) into scoped subagent tasks" carves a fairly distinct niche with low conflict risk against typical file-format or task-specific skills, matching level 4's 'mostly distinct; minor overlap risk' — it could still overlap with generic multi-agent/delegation orchestration skills. It is not level 5 because no trigger phrasing sharply separates it from those adjacent skills.
