Discovery
75%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 description effectively communicates when to use the skill through an explicit command trigger and has a distinct niche. However, it could benefit from more specific capability details and natural language trigger terms that users might say beyond the slash command.
Suggestions
Add natural language trigger terms users might say, such as 'run tasks in parallel', 'concurrent execution', 'multi-agent tasks', or 'simultaneous processing'
Expand specificity by listing concrete actions like 'distribute tasks across agents', 'coordinate parallel workflows', or 'aggregate results from concurrent operations'
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Specificity | Names the domain (plan files, parallel subagents) and describes the core action (execute, launch), but lacks comprehensive detail about what types of tasks or specific capabilities are supported. | 2 / 3 |
Completeness | Clearly answers both what (execute plan files by launching parallel subagents) and when (triggers on explicit '/parallel-task' commands), providing explicit trigger guidance. | 3 / 3 |
Trigger Term Quality | Includes the explicit trigger '/parallel-task' but lacks natural language variations users might say like 'run in parallel', 'concurrent tasks', 'multi-agent', or 'simultaneous execution'. | 2 / 3 |
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk | The explicit command trigger '/parallel-task' and specific focus on parallel subagent execution creates a clear niche that is unlikely to conflict with other skills. | 3 / 3 |

Implementation
100%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-crafted skill that efficiently teaches parallel task execution with orchestration mode. It provides clear, actionable steps with concrete templates, proper validation checkpoints, and a feedback loop for iterating through plans. The structure is logical and the content respects token efficiency while being comprehensive.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The skill is lean and efficient, assuming Claude's competence with orchestration concepts. No unnecessary explanations of what subagents are or how parallel execution works—it jumps straight to actionable process steps. | 3 / 3 |
Actionability | Provides concrete, executable guidance with a detailed task prompt template, specific parsing instructions, and clear example usage commands. The template is copy-paste ready with clear placeholders. | 3 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | Clear 6-step sequence with explicit validation (Step 6), feedback loops (Step 5 repeat cycle), and error handling section. The workflow includes checkpoints for monitoring, logging, and iterating until completion or blocker. | 3 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | Well-organized with clear sections (Process steps, Error Handling, Example Usage, Templates). Content is appropriately structured for a single-file skill—templates are inline but serve as reference material, not bloat. | 3 / 3 |
Total | 12 / 12 Passed |
Validation
75%Checks the skill against the spec for correct structure and formatting. All validation checks must pass before discovery and implementation can be scored.
