001-skills-inventory

Use when you need to generate a checklist document with Java system prompts, following the embedded template exactly and producing INVENTORY-SKILLS-JAVA.md in the project root. This should trigger for requests such as Create Java system prompts checklist; Generate INVENTORY-SKILLS-JAVA.md; Use @001-skills-inventory. Part of cursor-rules-java project

Quality

Discovery

89%

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-structured description with explicit 'Use when' and 'trigger for' clauses, specific file names, and project context that make it highly distinctive. The main weakness is that the 'what' portion could be more specific about the concrete actions involved beyond just 'generate a checklist document.' Overall it performs well for skill selection purposes.

Dimension	Reasoning	Score
Specificity	The description names the domain (Java system prompts checklist) and a specific action (generate a checklist document producing INVENTORY-SKILLS-JAVA.md), but it doesn't list multiple concrete actions beyond generation—it's essentially one action with some context.	2 / 3
Completeness	Clearly answers both 'what' (generate a checklist document with Java system prompts following an embedded template, producing INVENTORY-SKILLS-JAVA.md) and 'when' (explicit 'Use when' clause and 'This should trigger for' with example requests).	3 / 3
Trigger Term Quality	Includes natural trigger terms users would say: 'Java system prompts checklist', 'Generate INVENTORY-SKILLS-JAVA.md', '@001-skills-inventory', 'cursor-rules-java'. These cover the specific file name, project name, and task description variations.	3 / 3
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk	Highly distinctive with specific file name (INVENTORY-SKILLS-JAVA.md), project name (cursor-rules-java), and skill reference (@001-skills-inventory). Very unlikely to conflict with other skills.	3 / 3

Implementation

50%

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

This skill provides a reasonable structure for a template-copying task with clear constraints and edge case handling. However, it lacks concrete actionability—there are no executable commands, no example output snippets, and the validation step is vague. The skill is essentially a wrapper around an external reference file, and without that file being available, much of the actual guidance is inaccessible.

Suggestions

Add a concrete validation method in step 3, such as a diff command or a specific checklist of sections to verify against the reference template.

Include a brief example snippet showing what a portion of the expected INVENTORY-SKILLS-JAVA.md output looks like, so Claude has a concrete target format.

Specify what to do if validation in step 3 fails—add an explicit feedback loop (e.g., 'If sections are missing, re-read the reference and regenerate the affected sections').

Dimension	Reasoning	Score
Conciseness	The 'What is covered in this Skill?' section and the description of what the skill does are somewhat redundant with the title and workflow. The edge cases are useful but the introductory framing could be tighter. Some unnecessary explanation exists (e.g., 'Create a comprehensive step-by-step checklist document for Java system prompts by following the embedded template exactly' restates the title).	2 / 3
Actionability	The workflow provides clear steps (read template, generate file, validate), but lacks concrete executable commands or code examples. There's no example of what the output should look like, no specific validation commands, and the actual work is delegated entirely to an external reference file that isn't provided. The guidance is more procedural description than executable instruction.	2 / 3
Workflow Clarity	The three-step workflow is clearly sequenced and includes a validation step (step 3), but the validation step is vague ('Verify that no extra steps or rules were added') with no concrete method for how to perform this verification. There's no feedback loop for what to do if validation fails, and no explicit checkpoint mechanism.	2 / 3
Progressive Disclosure	The skill references an external file (references/001-skills-inventory.md) which is appropriate for progressive disclosure, but no bundle files were provided to verify the reference exists or is well-structured. The reference is one level deep and clearly signaled, which is good, but the skill is heavily dependent on this single external file that we cannot evaluate.	2 / 3
