Activation
7%This description is severely underdeveloped, essentially just restating the skill name without providing any actionable information. It lacks specific capabilities, natural trigger terms, and explicit usage guidance. The repetitive trigger terms and boilerplate category information provide no value for skill selection.
Suggestions
Add specific concrete actions listing supported format conversions (e.g., 'Converts between CSV, JSON, XML, YAML, and Parquet formats. Handles batch conversions and preserves data structure.')
Include a 'Use when...' clause with natural trigger terms users would say (e.g., 'Use when the user asks to convert files, change file formats, transform data between formats, or mentions specific format pairs like CSV to JSON.')
Add natural keywords users would actually use such as 'convert', 'transform', specific format names (.csv, .json, .xml), and phrases like 'change format', 'export as', 'save as different format'.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Specificity | The description only states 'File Format Converter' without listing any concrete actions like which formats are supported, what conversion operations are performed, or what the output looks like. It's entirely abstract. | 1 / 3 |
Completeness | The description fails to answer 'what does this do' beyond the name, and provides no explicit 'when to use' guidance. The 'Triggers on' section just repeats the skill name rather than providing meaningful trigger scenarios. | 1 / 3 |
Trigger Term Quality | The only trigger terms listed are 'file format converter' repeated twice, which is technical jargon users are unlikely to naturally say. Missing natural terms like 'convert CSV to JSON', 'change file type', specific format names, etc. | 1 / 3 |
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk | While 'file format converter' is somewhat specific to conversion tasks, the lack of detail about which formats or conversion types means it could conflict with any skill that handles file transformations, data processing, or format-specific operations. | 2 / 3 |

Implementation
0%This skill content is essentially a placeholder template with no substantive guidance. It describes what a file format converter skill should do without providing any actual instructions, code examples, or workflows for converting between file formats. The content would be completely unhelpful for Claude attempting to perform file format conversion tasks.
Suggestions
Add concrete, executable code examples for common file format conversions (e.g., CSV to JSON, JSON to Parquet, XML to JSON) with specific libraries like pandas or pyarrow
Define a clear workflow with validation steps: read source -> validate input -> transform -> validate output -> write destination
Remove all generic boilerplate text ('provides automated assistance', 'follows industry best practices') and replace with specific conversion patterns and edge case handling
Add a quick reference section showing the most common conversion commands/code snippets that can be copy-pasted directly
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The content is padded with generic boilerplate that provides no actual value. Phrases like 'provides automated assistance' and 'follows industry best practices' are vague filler that Claude doesn't need. | 1 / 3 |
Actionability | There is zero concrete guidance - no code, no commands, no specific examples of file format conversion. The content describes what the skill supposedly does but never instructs how to actually convert file formats. | 1 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | No workflow is defined. Claims to provide 'step-by-step guidance' but contains no actual steps. There are no validation checkpoints or any process to follow. | 1 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | The content is a monolithic block of marketing-style text with no structure pointing to detailed materials. No references to other files, no organized sections with actual content. | 1 / 3 |
