exa-core-workflow-b

Execute Exa findSimilar, getContents, answer, and streaming answer workflows. Use when finding pages similar to a URL, retrieving content for known URLs, or getting AI-generated answers with citations. Trigger with phrases like "exa find similar", "exa get contents", "exa answer", "exa similarity search", "findSimilarAndContents".

Quality

Content

80%

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

The content is highly actionable and concise with executable examples and a useful error table, but workflow clarity is held back by missing validation checkpoints in the batch operation and a broken/uncertain cross-reference in Resources.

Suggestions

Add a per-batch error-handling/validation checkpoint in the Batch URL Content Retrieval example (e.g., try/catch per batch, log failed URLs, continue) so batch operations have explicit feedback loops.

Fix the Resources section: add the missing link for "Exa Find Similar" and verify the sibling skills (exa-common-errors, exa-sdk-patterns) referenced in Next Steps actually exist.

Consider moving the full error-handling table or detailed API options into a separate reference file if the skill grows, to keep SKILL.md as a lean overview.

Dimension	Reasoning	Score
Conciseness	The body is lean: executable code blocks with brief, behavior-relevant comments and no padding explaining what Exa or libraries are, assuming Claude's competence throughout.	3 / 3
Actionability	Each step provides fully executable, copy-paste-ready TypeScript with concrete parameters and realistic example URLs, plus a runnable competitive-intelligence and batch-retrieval example.	3 / 3
Workflow Clarity	Steps are clearly sequenced (Step 1–5) with an error-handling table for recovery, but the batch URL example performs a batch operation without an explicit per-batch validation/error checkpoint, capping the score per the batch-operation guideline.	2 / 3
Progressive Disclosure	Sections are well organized, but no bundle files exist; the Resources list has a broken "Exa Find Similar" entry missing a link, and Next Steps references sibling skills (exa-common-errors, exa-sdk-patterns) without confirming they exist.	2 / 3
	Total	10 / 12 Passed

Description

100%

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 is concise, concrete, and complete, clearly stating both capabilities and explicit trigger conditions in third person. It is among the strongest examples of the rubric's good patterns.

Dimension	Reasoning	Score
Specificity	Names multiple concrete actions — "Execute Exa findSimilar, getContents, answer, and streaming answer workflows" — using third-person voice, matching the top anchor for listing several specific concrete actions.	3 / 3
Completeness	Explicitly answers both what (the four Exa workflows) and when via an explicit "Use when finding pages similar to a URL, retrieving content for known URLs, or getting AI-generated answers with citations" clause.	3 / 3
Trigger Term Quality	Provides natural phrases a user would say — "exa find similar", "exa get contents", "exa answer", "exa similarity search" — giving good coverage of common variations.	3 / 3
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk	Occupies a clear niche (Exa's similarity/contents/answer endpoints beyond primary search) with distinct Exa-prefixed triggers, making conflict with other skills unlikely.	3 / 3
	Total	12 / 12 Passed

Validation

87%

Warnings & errors only

Checks the skill against the spec for correct structure and formatting. All validation checks must pass before discovery and implementation can be scored.
