Quality

Content

81%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.

A strong, densely actionable style reference: concrete rules, exact commands, and illustrative good/bad examples that assume Rust competence and avoid concept explanations. Its only weaknesses are mild — duplicated guidance across sections, placeholder-laden snippets, and a long inline example block that could be tightened or split out.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

The body is dense, imperative rules that assume Rust competence — no basic-concept explanations — but contains minor trim opportunities: tracing guidance appears in both 'Instrumentation' and 'Crate Preferences', newtype guidance is duplicated across 'Type System' and 'Types', and several bullets carry explanatory filler ('This improves readability by clearly indicating the target type'). Efficient with minor instances of over-explanation, matching anchor 4 rather than the every-token-earns-its-place anchor 5.

4 / 5

Actionability

Guidance is highly concrete: exact commands ('cargo clippy with --all-features, --all-targets, and --no-deps', 'cargo doc --no-deps --all-features'), hard numeric rules ('never take more than 7 arguments'), and idioms like 'Arc::clone(&pointer)' and 'use module::Trait as _;'. It falls short of fully copy-paste ready because the illustrative snippets contain placeholders ('// Implementation', '/* implementation */'), matching the 'mostly executable with minor gaps' anchor.

4 / 5

Workflow Clarity

This is a single-purpose reference skill: the action — apply these rules when writing or reviewing Rust — is unambiguous, satisfying the simple-skill exception. It also embeds validation checkpoints (cargo clippy, rustfmt, cargo doc) for verifying style compliance, and involves no destructive or batch operations that would cap the score.

5 / 5

Progressive Disclosure

No bundle files exist (references/, scripts/, assets/ are absent) and the body references none, so all content is deliberately inline in one file. Topical section headers (Type System, Async Patterns, Import Style, etc.) make it navigable, matching the good-structure anchor. It cannot take the under-50-lines exception for a 5, and the ~70-line import example block and cross-section duplication leave minor organization gaps.

Description

70%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 has a solid explicit 'Use when...' trigger clause with natural, relevant terms, and is cleanly scoped to Rust. Its main weaknesses are the terse, opaque capability statement ('HASH Rust coding style') that doesn't convey what the style covers, and the absence of common trigger synonyms.

Suggestions

Replace the cryptic 'HASH' prefix with a plain capability statement that names what the style covers, e.g. 'Applies the HASH Rust coding style: edition 2024, async patterns, imports, argument types, and naming conventions.'

Broaden trigger coverage with natural variations users actually say, such as 'refactoring Rust code', 'idiomatic Rust', or 'running clippy'.

State the concrete actions the skill performs (writing, reviewing, and choosing types/imports/arguments/names) in the capability clause itself rather than only in the 'when' clause.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

The capability statement is just 'HASH Rust coding style' — the domain is named but the action described is generic; the concrete activities (writing, reviewing, choosing types, imports, function arguments, naming) appear only in the trigger clause rather than as described capabilities. It does not enumerate what the style actually covers (edition, async patterns, imports, tracing, etc.), so it fits the 'names domain and 1-2 concrete actions' anchor rather than the 'lists several specific actions' anchor.

3 / 5

Completeness

Both parts are present: 'HASH Rust coding style' as the what, and an explicit 'Use when writing or reviewing Rust code...' trigger clause. However the what is terse and 'HASH' is opaque to anyone outside that context — the description never says which style areas it governs, so it falls short of the 'clearly and explicitly answers both' anchor while exceeding the weak-when anchor.

4 / 5

Trigger Term Quality

'writing or reviewing Rust code, choosing types, imports, function arguments, or naming' covers natural phrases a user would say, but common variations like 'refactoring', 'idiomatic Rust', or 'clippy' are missing. Good keyword coverage with a few natural terms absent — matches the anchor 4 example in density.

4 / 5

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

The Rust-specific trigger language gives it a clear niche with distinct triggers, but 'reviewing Rust code' creates minor overlap risk with generic code-review skills. Mostly distinct with minor overlap against closely related skills, matching anchor 4 rather than the minimal-conflict anchor 5.
