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 description excels at trigger term coverage and completeness, with explicit trigger phrases that make it easy for Claude to select. Its main weakness is that the 'what' portion is somewhat vague — it says 'create your first project' but doesn't specify what concrete actions the skill performs (e.g., scaffolding a sample app, demonstrating each feature step-by-step). The feature names (Tab, Chat, Composer, Inline Edit) add some specificity but remain at a listing level.
Suggestions
Expand the 'what' clause with more concrete actions, e.g., 'Walks through scaffolding a sample project, demonstrating Tab completion, Chat queries, Composer multi-file edits, and Inline Edit refactoring.'
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Specificity | It names the domain (Cursor AI) and mentions specific features (Tab, Chat, Composer, Inline Edit), but the core action is vague — 'Create your first project' doesn't describe concrete actions the skill performs (e.g., scaffold files, demonstrate autocomplete, walk through chat usage). | 2 / 3 |
Completeness | It answers both 'what' (create a first project using Cursor AI features) and 'when' (explicit trigger phrases listed). The 'Triggers on' clause serves as an explicit 'Use when' equivalent. | 3 / 3 |
Trigger Term Quality | Excellent coverage of natural trigger terms users would say: 'cursor hello world', 'first cursor project', 'cursor getting started', 'try cursor ai', 'cursor basics', 'cursor tutorial'. These are highly natural phrases a beginner would use. | 3 / 3 |
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk | The description is clearly scoped to Cursor AI onboarding/getting started, with very specific trigger terms that are unlikely to conflict with other skills. The combination of 'cursor' + beginner-oriented terms creates a distinct niche. | 3 / 3 |

Implementation
85%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-structured tutorial skill with excellent actionability and workflow clarity. The four exercises build progressively and include concrete, executable code examples with clear keyboard shortcuts. Minor verbosity in sections like Enterprise Considerations and some explanatory text that Claude wouldn't need slightly reduces token efficiency.
Suggestions
Trim or remove the 'Enterprise Considerations' section — Claude can infer privacy/subscription concerns without explicit mention, or condense to a single line.
Remove explanations Claude already knows, such as 'Green = added lines / Red = removed lines' for diffs.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The content is mostly efficient but includes some unnecessary padding like the 'Enterprise Considerations' section and explanations of concepts Claude would already know (e.g., explaining what green/red diff colors mean). The feature comparison table and next steps add value but could be tighter. | 2 / 3 |
Actionability | Highly actionable with concrete, executable commands (npm init, npx tsc --init), specific keyboard shortcuts, real TypeScript code examples, and step-by-step instructions that are copy-paste ready. Each exercise has clear inputs and expected outcomes. | 3 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | The four exercises are clearly sequenced from simplest (Tab) to most complex (Composer), each with explicit steps. The workflow includes a verification step ('Run the Result' with npx tsx) and clear accept/reject instructions for each feature. For a tutorial skill, this is well-structured. | 3 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | Content is well-organized with clear sections for each feature, a summary comparison table, and well-signaled references to other skills (cursor-rules-config, cursor-codebase-indexing, etc.) and external documentation. No deeply nested references; everything is one level deep. | 3 / 3 |
