writing-hashql-jexpr

HashQL J-Expr syntax for writing queries. Use when writing J-Expr code, using #literal/#struct/#list constructs, understanding function call syntax, or working with HashQL query files (.jsonc).

Quality

Content

100%

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

The body is a lean, example-rich reference that assumes Claude's competence and delegates depth to four real, well-signaled reference files. It is maximally actionable for a single-purpose syntax skill.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

The body is table- and code-driven with minimal prose (e.g., "J-Expr is a JSON-based expression syntax for HashQL. It represents typed expressions using JSON primitives.") and never explains concepts Claude already knows; every token earns its place.

3 / 3

Actionability

Every construct ships concrete, copy-paste-ready jsonc examples — e.g. ["add", {"#literal": 1}, {"#literal": 2}], struct/list/tuple/dict forms, and let/fn/if patterns — with no pseudocode.

3 / 3

Workflow Clarity

As a single-purpose composition skill (write J-Expr), the Do/Don't lists, Common Patterns, and Examples give an unambiguous mental model for assembling queries; no destructive/batch operations require validation checkpoints.

3 / 3

Progressive Disclosure

A compact overview points to four clearly signaled, one-level-deep references (syntax-reference.md, special-forms.md, data-constructors.md, type-dsl.md), all of which exist under ./references/, with content appropriately split for navigation.

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.

The description is concise yet complete, stating both the capability and explicit trigger conditions with concrete, natural terms. It carves out a clear niche unlikely to conflict with unrelated skills.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Lists multiple concrete actions — "writing J-Expr code", "using #literal/#struct/#list constructs", "understanding function call syntax", and "working with HashQL query files (.jsonc)" — matching the multiple-specific-actions anchor.

3 / 3

Completeness

Explicitly answers what ("HashQL J-Expr syntax for writing queries") and when (an explicit "Use when..." clause enumerating scenarios), satisfying the both-what-and-when anchor.

3 / 3

Trigger Term Quality

The "Use when" clause surfaces natural terms a user would say ("J-Expr code", "HashQL query files", ".jsonc", named #literal/#struct/#list constructs) with good coverage of variations.

3 / 3

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

A narrow niche (HashQL J-Expr, a JSON-based query syntax) with distinctive triggers (#literal/#struct/#list, .jsonc) makes conflict with other skills unlikely.
