Use when you need to generate an AGENTS.md file for a Java repository — covering project conventions, tech stack, file structure, commands, Git workflow, and contributor boundaries — through a modular, step-based interactive process that adapts to your specific project needs.

Discovery
85%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 description that clearly defines its purpose and when to use it. The specificity around AGENTS.md generation for Java repositories with detailed coverage areas is excellent. Minor improvement could be made by including more natural trigger terms users might actually say when needing this functionality.
Suggestions
Add natural trigger term variations like 'agent file', 'project documentation', 'contributor guide', or 'repository setup docs' to improve discoverability
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Specificity | Lists multiple specific concrete actions: 'generate an AGENTS.md file', 'covering project conventions, tech stack, file structure, commands, Git workflow, and contributor boundaries', and describes the process as 'modular, step-based interactive'. | 3 / 3 |
Completeness | Clearly answers both what ('generate an AGENTS.md file covering project conventions, tech stack, file structure, commands, Git workflow, and contributor boundaries') and when ('Use when you need to generate an AGENTS.md file for a Java repository') with explicit trigger guidance. | 3 / 3 |
Trigger Term Quality | Includes relevant terms like 'AGENTS.md', 'Java repository', 'project conventions', 'tech stack', but misses common variations users might say like 'agent file', 'project documentation', 'onboarding doc', or 'contributor guide'. | 2 / 3 |
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk | Very specific niche targeting AGENTS.md files specifically for Java repositories with a defined interactive process. The combination of 'AGENTS.md' + 'Java' + 'skills-for-java project' creates clear distinctiveness unlikely to conflict with other skills. | 3 / 3 |

Implementation
22%Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.
This skill content functions more as a table of contents than actionable guidance. While it correctly identifies what AGENTS.md should cover and references detailed documentation, it provides no concrete steps, templates, or examples that would enable Claude to actually generate the file. The 'interactive SKILL' claim is unsupported by any defined interaction flow.
Suggestions
Add a concrete step-by-step workflow showing the interactive process (e.g., Step 1: Gather project info, Step 2: Define roles, etc.) with specific questions to ask at each step
Include a minimal AGENTS.md template or example output showing the expected format and structure
Add at least one concrete example of each section type (role definition, tech stack entry, contributor boundary) so Claude knows the exact output format
Define validation checkpoints - how does Claude verify the generated AGENTS.md is complete and accurate before presenting it?
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The skill is relatively brief but includes some redundant phrasing (e.g., repeating 'modular, step-based interactive process' in both the title area and body). The bullet list of coverage areas is useful but could be tighter. | 2 / 3 |
Actionability | The skill provides no concrete steps, commands, or examples for generating AGENTS.md. It describes what will be covered but doesn't show how to do it - no templates, no sample output, no executable guidance. | 1 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | Despite mentioning 'step-based interactive process,' no actual steps are defined. The workflow is entirely absent - there's no sequence, no checkpoints, and no validation steps for the generation process. | 1 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | The skill appropriately references an external file for detailed guidance (references/200-agents-md.md), but the main content is too sparse to serve as a useful overview. The reference is one level deep, which is good. | 2 / 3 |
