Discovery
89%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 is a solid skill description that clearly identifies its niche (Granola onboarding/first meeting) with explicit trigger terms and a clear 'Use when' clause. Its main weakness is that the specific actions could be more concrete — it describes the goal ('capture your first meeting') but not the detailed steps or outputs involved. Overall it performs well for skill selection purposes.
Suggestions
Add more concrete action verbs describing what the skill actually does step-by-step, e.g., 'Guides through starting a meeting recording, taking notes in the notepad, reviewing the transcript, and using Enhance Notes to generate AI summaries.'
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Specificity | It names the domain (Granola) and some actions ('capture first meeting', 'review AI-enhanced notes'), and mentions specific features like 'Enhance Notes' and 'Granola Chat', but doesn't list comprehensive concrete actions (e.g., what steps are involved, what outputs are produced). | 2 / 3 |
Completeness | Clearly answers both 'what' (capture first meeting, review AI-enhanced notes, understand Enhance Notes and Granola Chat) and 'when' (testing Granola setup, learning the notepad + transcript flow) with explicit trigger terms listed. | 3 / 3 |
Trigger Term Quality | Includes explicit trigger phrases that users would naturally say: 'granola hello world', 'first granola meeting', 'try granola', 'granola test'. Also includes natural terms like 'testing Granola setup', 'notepad + transcript flow', and feature names like 'Enhance Notes' and 'Granola Chat'. | 3 / 3 |
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk | Highly distinctive — targets a very specific niche (first-time Granola meeting setup and testing) with product-specific trigger terms that are unlikely to conflict with other skills. | 3 / 3 |

Implementation
62%Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.
This is a well-organized walkthrough of Granola's first-meeting experience with clear step sequencing and helpful error handling. However, it's somewhat verbose for a skill file — it reads more like product documentation than a concise skill instruction. The content would benefit from trimming explanatory sections and moving supplementary material (tips, people/companies, detailed examples) to referenced files.
Suggestions
Trim the Overview to remove explanations of what Granola does (Claude can learn this from context) and reduce the enhanced output example to a shorter snippet
Move 'Tips for Better Notes' and 'People & Companies' sections to a separate reference file to reduce the main skill's token footprint
Since this is a GUI-based workflow with no executable code, consider adding specific CLI or API commands if any exist, or explicitly note that all interactions are through the Granola desktop UI
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The skill is reasonably well-structured but includes some unnecessary verbosity. The 'Overview' paragraph explains what Granola does (which Claude likely already knows from context), the 'People & Companies' section and 'Tips for Better Notes' add bulk that could be trimmed or referenced externally. The example enhanced output, while illustrative, is lengthy. | 2 / 3 |
Actionability | The steps are clear and sequential but this is a GUI-based workflow with no executable code or commands — it's essentially a walkthrough of clicking buttons in a desktop app. The markdown examples are illustrative rather than executable. The guidance is concrete enough to follow but lacks the copy-paste-ready quality of a score-3 skill. | 2 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | The six-step workflow is clearly sequenced with logical progression from starting a meeting through to using Granola Chat and Recipes. Each step has explicit instructions. The error handling table serves as a validation/troubleshooting checkpoint, and the flow naturally guides through the complete process with clear expectations at each stage. | 3 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | The skill references external resources (docs links) and a next step (`granola-core-workflow-a`), which is good. However, the content is quite long (~100+ lines) with sections like 'People & Companies', 'Tips for Better Notes', and the detailed error handling table that could be split into separate reference files. The inline example output is lengthy and could be referenced instead. | 2 / 3 |
