Discovery
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.
This is a well-crafted skill description that clearly defines the scope (AiderDesk UI themes), lists concrete implementation steps, and provides an explicit 'Use when' clause with natural trigger terms. It uses proper third-person voice and covers both technical and user-friendly terminology, making it easy for Claude to select appropriately.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Specificity | Lists multiple specific concrete actions: 'defining SCSS color variables', 'registering theme types', and 'adding i18n display names'. These are precise, actionable steps rather than vague language. | 3 / 3 |
Completeness | Clearly answers both 'what' (create new AiderDesk UI themes by defining SCSS color variables, registering theme types, adding i18n display names) and 'when' (explicit 'Use when' clause with multiple trigger scenarios). | 3 / 3 |
Trigger Term Quality | Includes strong natural keywords users would say: 'theme', 'color scheme', 'customizing appearance', 'dark mode', 'light mode', 'SCSS', 'color variables'. Good coverage of both technical and casual terms. | 3 / 3 |
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk | Highly specific to AiderDesk UI theming with distinct technical triggers like 'SCSS color variables', 'registering theme types', and 'i18n display names'. Unlikely to conflict with general styling or other UI skills. | 3 / 3 |
Total | 12 / 12 Passed |
Implementation
77%Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.
This is a well-structured, actionable skill for adding themes to AiderDesk. Its strengths are the clear step-by-step checklist, explicit file paths, verification steps, and troubleshooting section. The main weakness is the lack of a concrete SCSS example showing the actual variable structure, which would make the skill more self-contained and reduce reliance on copying existing files.
Suggestions
Add a minimal but concrete SCSS example showing the theme class structure with at least 5-10 representative --color-* variables, so Claude doesn't need to read an existing theme file to understand the expected format.
Consider linking to or referencing a canonical list of all required --color-* variables (even as a separate file) rather than relying on 'compare with theme-dark.scss' for completeness.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The skill is lean and efficient. It doesn't explain what SCSS is, what CSS custom properties are, or how Tailwind works—it assumes Claude knows all of this. Every section serves a clear purpose with no padding. | 3 / 3 |
Actionability | The guidance is concrete with specific file paths, naming conventions, and code snippets for the SCSS import and i18n JSON. However, it lacks a complete executable SCSS example showing the actual variable structure (e.g., a minimal theme with key --color-* variables), relying instead on 'copy an existing theme' which is practical but less self-contained. | 2 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | The checklist is clearly sequenced with numbered steps, each specifying exactly which file to edit and what to add. Step 6 provides explicit UI verification, and step 7 includes quality checks covering contrast, key surfaces, and interaction states. The troubleshooting section adds error recovery guidance. | 3 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | The content is well-structured with clear sections and a 'Where themes live' reference map, but it's all inline in a single file. The quality checks section and troubleshooting could potentially be separated, though the overall length is reasonable. No external references are provided or linked to. | 2 / 3 |
