exa-install-auth

Install the exa-js SDK and configure API key authentication. Use when setting up a new Exa integration, configuring API keys, or initializing Exa in a Node.js/Python project. Trigger with phrases like "install exa", "setup exa", "exa auth", "configure exa API key", "exa-js".

Content

77%

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 with a clear, validated workflow and executable code for both runtimes. Its weaknesses are minor redundancy across repeated code snippets and the lack of progressive disclosure into reference files for the inline error and example material.

Suggestions

De-duplicate the client initialization: the Step 4 verify snippet and the Examples section both re-import and re-instantiate Exa; reference the Step 3 client or factor a shared createExaClient helper instead.

Move the full Error Handling table and the With dotenv / With Validation examples into a references/ file (e.g. ERROR_HANDLING.md, EXAMPLES.md) and link to them from the body to improve progressive disclosure.

Trim the inline catch block in Step 4 since the same 401/402 guidance is covered by the Error Handling table, or vice versa, to tighten token efficiency.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

The body is mostly lean and avoids explaining concepts Claude knows, but it repeats the client-initialization code in Step 4 and the Examples section, and the Error Handling table duplicates the inline catch-block handling, so it could be tightened.

2 / 3

Actionability

Provides fully executable, copy-paste-ready code for both Node.js and Python, specific install commands, explicit env-var setup, .gitignore entries, and a working connection-verification function.

3 / 3

Workflow Clarity

Steps 1-4 are clearly sequenced (install, configure key, init client, verify) with an explicit validation checkpoint in Step 4 and error-feedback loops keyed on HTTP 401/402.

3 / 3

Progressive Disclosure

Well-organized into sections, but no bundle/reference files exist and inline reference-grade material (a full error table, multiple example variants, full verify code) that could live in separate files is kept in SKILL.md.

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.

A concise, well-constructed description that clearly states capabilities, provides natural trigger phrases, and explicitly covers both what the skill does and when to use it. It is distinctive and unlikely to conflict with other skills.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Names multiple concrete actions — 'Install the exa-js SDK', 'configure API key authentication', and initializing Exa in Node.js/Python projects — matching the 'lists multiple specific concrete actions' anchor.

3 / 3

Completeness

Explicitly answers both what ('Install the exa-js SDK and configure API key authentication') and when ('Use when setting up a new Exa integration...') with explicit trigger guidance.

3 / 3

Trigger Term Quality

Provides natural phrases users would actually say ('install exa', 'setup exa', 'exa auth', 'configure exa API key', 'exa-js'), giving good coverage of common variations.

3 / 3

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

Targets a clear Exa-specific niche with distinct triggers, making it unlikely to fire for unrelated skills.
