22%This description is essentially a placeholder that provides minimal useful information for skill selection. It lacks concrete actions, explicit trigger guidance, and relies entirely on the skill name without elaborating on capabilities. The repetitive trigger terms ('google sheets automation' listed twice) suggest auto-generated content without human refinement.
Suggestions
Add specific concrete actions the skill can perform, e.g., 'Create and modify spreadsheets, write formulas, format cells, generate charts, import/export data, automate repetitive tasks'
Include an explicit 'Use when...' clause with natural trigger terms like 'Use when working with Google Sheets, spreadsheets, gsheets, or when the user needs to create formulas, format data, or automate spreadsheet tasks'
Expand trigger term coverage to include variations users naturally say: 'spreadsheet', 'gsheet', 'cells', 'rows', 'columns', 'formulas', '.gsheet'
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Specificity | The description only says 'Google Sheets Automation' without listing any concrete actions. It doesn't specify what operations can be performed (e.g., create formulas, format cells, import data, generate charts). | 1 / 3 |
Completeness | The description fails to answer 'what does this do' beyond the generic title, and has no explicit 'Use when...' clause or equivalent guidance for when Claude should select this skill. | 1 / 3 |
Trigger Term Quality | Contains 'google sheets automation' as a trigger term, which is relevant but limited. Missing common variations users might say like 'spreadsheet', 'gsheet', 'Google Spreadsheet', 'cells', 'formulas', or specific task-related terms. | 2 / 3 |
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk | While 'Google Sheets' is somewhat specific, the generic 'automation' term and lack of concrete actions could cause overlap with other spreadsheet or automation skills. It's distinguishable from PDF or presentation skills but not from general spreadsheet tools. | 2 / 3 |

Implementation
0%This skill is a template placeholder with no actual content. It describes what a Google Sheets automation skill should do without providing any concrete guidance, code examples, API references, or workflows. The entire content could be deleted and replaced with actual implementation details.
Suggestions
Add executable code examples for common Google Sheets operations (reading/writing cells, creating sheets, formatting) using the Google Sheets API or gspread library
Include a concrete workflow with validation steps for batch operations like 'Read data -> Transform -> Write back -> Verify row counts'
Provide specific authentication setup instructions with code for service account or OAuth credentials
Add links to reference files for advanced topics like formula injection, conditional formatting, or chart creation
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The content is entirely filler text with no actual technical guidance. It explains what the skill does in abstract terms without providing any concrete information Claude doesn't already know. | 1 / 3 |
Actionability | No executable code, commands, or specific examples are provided. The content only describes capabilities in vague terms like 'provides step-by-step guidance' without actually providing any guidance. | 1 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | No workflow steps, sequences, or validation checkpoints are present. The skill claims to provide 'step-by-step guidance' but contains zero actual steps for any Google Sheets automation task. | 1 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | No references to detailed documentation, no structured content organization, and no navigation to related resources. The content is a shallow placeholder with no depth or links to actual implementation details. | 1 / 3 |
