note-taking

How to work in a Plain Notes project (the `plain-notes` starter pack): a flat notes/ folder plus a daily/ journal. The 'I just want to write' layout. Read when the project has these folders, OR when asked to jot a note, capture a quick thought, or write today's journal entry. Carries the linking habit and daily-entry behavior so templates and folder descriptions stay minimal. Complements the platform `open-knowledge` skill; does not replace it.

Quality

Content

92%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 a tight, well-structured overview that gives concrete behavioral guidance without padding, and its sectioning suits a simple skill needing no external references. The only near-term improvement is providing a concrete daily-entry template example to push actionability to the top anchor.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

Lean and efficient throughout (~20 lines), assumes Claude's competence, and every line earns its place with no padding or explanation of concepts Claude already knows.

5 / 5

Actionability

Gives concrete executable guidance (link to yesterday's dated file e.g. `2026-07-08.md`, stub pages that don't exist, fill named `mood`/`top3`/`gratitude` frontmatter fields), but stops just short of fully copy-paste-ready examples for the daily entry template.

4 / 5

Workflow Clarity

As a simple single-purpose habit skill with no destructive or batch operations, the single action (write and link) is unambiguous and the daily-entry sequencing is clearly stated, meeting the simple-skill exception.

5 / 5

Progressive Disclosure

Under 50 lines with no need for external references; content is organized into clear, well-signaled sections (Folders, Agent behaviors, Templates) that are easy to navigate.

Description

87%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 strong: it clearly states what the skill governs and when to use it, uses natural trigger phrases, and explicitly demarcates its boundary against the platform open-knowledge skill. Minor gaps in keyword synonym coverage keep trigger_term_quality and specificity just below the top anchor.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Names the domain (Plain Notes project: flat notes/ folder plus daily/ journal) and several concrete actions ("jot a note, capture a quick thought, write today's journal entry", linking habit, daily-entry behavior), with only minor coverage gaps; not a 5 because it lists habits more than a comprehensive set of discrete operations.

4 / 5

Completeness

Explicitly answers both what (Plain Notes project layout with notes/ and daily/, carrying the linking and daily-entry behavior) and when ("Read when the project has these folders, OR when asked to jot a note, capture a quick thought, or write today's journal entry") with concrete trigger phrases.

5 / 5

Trigger Term Quality

Includes natural user phrases ("jot a note", "capture a quick thought", "write today's journal entry") and folder-based triggers, but is missing a few common synonyms/variants users might say; good but not comprehensive coverage.

4 / 5

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

Clearly scoped to a distinct niche (the `plain-notes` starter pack) and explicitly resolves overlap risk ("Complements the platform `open-knowledge` skill; does not replace it"), giving minimal conflict risk.
