ideogram-hello-world
Create a minimal working Ideogram image generation example. Use when starting a new Ideogram integration, testing your setup, or learning basic Ideogram API patterns. Trigger with phrases like "ideogram hello world", "ideogram example", "ideogram quick start", "simple ideogram code", "first ideogram image".

Quality
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 well-structured description with strong trigger terms and clear 'what/when' guidance. Its main weakness is that the capability description is somewhat general ('create a minimal working example') rather than listing specific concrete actions like generating images, configuring API keys, or handling responses. Overall it would perform well in skill selection scenarios.
Suggestions
Add more specific concrete actions, e.g., 'Sets up API authentication, sends a text-to-image request, and saves the generated image' to improve specificity.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Specificity | It names the domain (Ideogram image generation) and a general action (create a minimal working example), but doesn't list multiple specific concrete actions like API authentication, prompt construction, image saving, etc. | 2 / 3 |
Completeness | Clearly answers both 'what' (create a minimal working Ideogram image generation example) and 'when' (starting a new integration, testing setup, learning basic API patterns) with explicit trigger phrases. | 3 / 3 |
Trigger Term Quality | Excellent coverage of natural trigger phrases users would say: 'ideogram hello world', 'ideogram example', 'ideogram quick start', 'simple ideogram code', 'first ideogram image'. These are realistic phrases a user would type. | 3 / 3 |
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk | Very specific niche — Ideogram API hello world / quickstart examples. The 'ideogram' keyword combined with 'hello world', 'quick start', and 'example' makes it highly distinct and unlikely to conflict with other skills. | 3 / 3 |

Implementation
72%Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.
This is a solid hello-world skill with excellent actionability—all three code examples are complete and executable. The main weaknesses are moderate redundancy (three implementations of the same API call) and a disconnect between the overview (which promises V3 endpoint coverage) and the actual content (which only demonstrates the legacy endpoint). Adding a brief validation step for the downloaded image would improve workflow clarity.
Suggestions
Either demonstrate the V3 `/v1/ideogram-v3/generate` endpoint as mentioned in the overview, or remove the V3 reference to avoid misleading expectations.
Consider reducing to two implementations (curl + one language) and linking to a separate file for the other language example to improve conciseness.
Add a validation checkpoint after downloading the image (e.g., check file size > 0, verify it's a valid PNG) to ensure the temporary URL was fetched successfully.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The skill provides three separate implementations (curl, TypeScript, Python) for essentially the same operation, which is somewhat redundant for a hello-world skill. The overview mentions V3 endpoint but never demonstrates it. The parameter reference table and error handling table add useful reference value but make the file longer than necessary for a quick-start guide. | 2 / 3 |
Actionability | All code examples are fully executable and copy-paste ready with proper error handling, imports, and file I/O. The curl command, TypeScript, and Python examples each include complete working code with API headers, JSON payloads, response parsing, and image downloading. | 3 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | Steps are clearly numbered and sequenced, but there are no validation checkpoints between steps. The overview mentions V3 endpoint but no step demonstrates it, creating a gap. There's no explicit verification step to confirm the downloaded image is valid or non-empty, which matters for an API that returns temporary URLs. | 2 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | The skill is well-structured with clear sections (overview, prerequisites, step-by-step instructions, reference tables, error handling, resources, next steps). External references are one level deep and clearly signaled, with links to API docs and a clear pointer to the next skill in the learning path. | 3 / 3 |
