Quality

Content

100%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 content is a model of lean, unambiguous instruction for a single-purpose canary skill: an exact output string, explicit sequencing, and guardrails against deviation. No improvements needed for a skill of this scope.

Dimension	Reasoning	Score
Conciseness	The body is lean and efficient with no padding or over-explanation; every directive ("Process steps in order", "Reply with exactly one line", "Do nothing else") earns its place.	5 / 5
Actionability	Provides the exact literal string to output ("ACR-CANARY-SKILL-7f3a discovered") with precise instruction, making it fully executable and copy-paste ready for the single task.	5 / 5
Workflow Clarity	The single action is unambiguous with explicit guardrails ("Do not skip ahead", "Do nothing else. Finish here."); as a simple single-purpose skill with no destructive or batch operation, it qualifies for the top score.	5 / 5
Progressive Disclosure	Under 50 lines with no need for external references, the body is well-organized into a title, directive, and a single clearly labeled Step section, satisfying the simple-skill exception.	5 / 5
	Total	20 / 20 Passed

Description

70%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 clearly and explicitly states what the skill does and when to use it, with natural trigger phrases and a distinct niche. It is concise and well-targeted, though the single-action scope limits the breadth that would warrant top scores.

Dimension	Reasoning	Score
Specificity	Names one concrete action ("Report that the ACR canary skill was discovered") rather than vague language, but does not list several specific actions for comprehensive coverage.	3 / 5
Completeness	Explicitly answers both what ("Report that the ACR canary skill was discovered") and when ("Use when asked to run the ACR canary, list available skills, or confirm skill discovery"); the single narrow action keeps it just below a 5.	4 / 5
Trigger Term Quality	Includes natural phrases a user would say ("asked to run the ACR canary", "list available skills", "confirm skill discovery") with good coverage, though the niche domain lacks synonym/extension breadth.	4 / 5
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk	The "ACR canary" niche and specific triggers make it mostly distinct, with only minor overlap risk from the generic phrase "list available skills".	4 / 5
	Total	15 / 20 Passed
