Discovery
22%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 is severely underdeveloped, consisting mostly of boilerplate category metadata rather than actionable content. It fails to specify what automation capabilities are available and provides no guidance on when Claude should select this skill. The duplicated trigger term suggests auto-generated content that wasn't properly reviewed.
Suggestions
Add specific concrete actions the skill can perform (e.g., 'Create formulas, generate pivot tables, format cells, import/export data, create charts').
Add an explicit 'Use when...' clause with natural trigger terms like 'spreadsheet automation', 'Google Sheets', 'gsheets', 'automate my spreadsheet', 'sheet formulas'.
Remove the duplicate trigger term and expand with variations users would naturally say when needing spreadsheet automation help.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Specificity | The description only says 'Google Sheets Automation' without listing any concrete actions. It doesn't specify what automation capabilities are available (e.g., create formulas, generate charts, import data, format cells). | 1 / 3 |
Completeness | The description fails to answer 'what does this do' beyond the vague term 'automation' and completely lacks a 'Use when...' clause or any explicit guidance on when Claude should select this skill. | 1 / 3 |
Trigger Term Quality | Contains 'google sheets automation' as a trigger term which is relevant, but the trigger is duplicated and missing common variations users might say like 'spreadsheet', 'gsheets', 'Google Spreadsheet', 'automate my sheet', or specific actions. | 2 / 3 |
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk | While 'Google Sheets' provides some specificity distinguishing it from other document types, 'automation' is very broad and could overlap with other spreadsheet or data processing skills. The lack of specific capabilities makes conflict risk moderate. | 2 / 3 |

Implementation
0%Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.
This skill is a placeholder template with no actual content. It contains only meta-descriptions of what a skill should do without any concrete guidance for Google Sheets automation. There is no executable code, no API usage examples, no workflow steps, and no actionable information whatsoever.
Suggestions
Add concrete code examples using Google Sheets API (e.g., reading/writing cells, batch updates, creating sheets) with executable Python or Apps Script snippets
Define specific workflows for common automation tasks (e.g., data import, report generation, scheduled updates) with clear step sequences and validation checkpoints
Include authentication setup instructions and common patterns for service account usage
Replace abstract capability descriptions with actual technical guidance - show specific methods, parameters, and expected outputs
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The content is entirely filler with no actual technical substance. It explains what the skill does in abstract terms without providing any concrete information Claude doesn't already know. Every section restates the same vague concept. | 1 / 3 |
Actionability | No concrete code, commands, or executable guidance whatsoever. The skill describes rather than instructs - there are no API examples, no Google Sheets code snippets, no specific methods or patterns for automation. | 1 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | No workflow is defined. Claims to provide 'step-by-step guidance' but contains zero actual steps. No validation checkpoints, no sequence of operations, no process for Google Sheets automation tasks. | 1 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | No structure beyond generic headings. No references to detailed documentation, no links to examples or API references, no organization of content by complexity or use case. | 1 / 3 |
Total | 4 / 12 Passed |
