instantly-install-auth
Set up Instantly.ai API v2 authentication and project configuration. Use when creating a new Instantly integration, generating API keys, or configuring environment variables for the Instantly outreach platform. Trigger with phrases like "install instantly", "setup instantly", "instantly auth", "configure instantly API key", "instantly credentials".

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-crafted skill description that clearly identifies its niche (Instantly.ai API v2 setup), provides explicit 'Use when' and 'Trigger with' clauses, and includes natural user phrases. The only minor weakness is that the capability listing is somewhat narrow, focusing primarily on setup/auth rather than enumerating multiple distinct actions, which keeps specificity from reaching the top score.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Specificity | Names the domain (Instantly.ai API v2) and some actions (authentication, project configuration, generating API keys, configuring environment variables), but the actions are somewhat narrow and not comprehensively listed — it's mostly about setup/config rather than listing multiple distinct concrete operations. | 2 / 3 |
Completeness | Clearly answers both 'what' (set up Instantly.ai API v2 authentication and project configuration) and 'when' (explicit 'Use when' clause with specific scenarios, plus a 'Trigger with phrases' section listing exact trigger terms). | 3 / 3 |
Trigger Term Quality | Excellent coverage of natural trigger terms including 'install instantly', 'setup instantly', 'instantly auth', 'configure instantly API key', 'instantly credentials', plus mentions of 'environment variables', 'API keys', and 'Instantly outreach platform'. These are phrases users would naturally say. | 3 / 3 |
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk | Highly distinctive — targets a specific product (Instantly.ai), a specific API version (v2), and a specific task (authentication/setup). Very unlikely to conflict with other skills due to the narrow, well-defined niche. | 3 / 3 |

Implementation
77%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, actionable skill with executable code, clear sequencing, and good error handling guidance. Its main weakness is length — providing both TypeScript and Python full implementations inline makes it verbose for a setup/auth skill. The scopes table and error table add useful reference but contribute to a monolithic feel that could benefit from progressive disclosure.
Suggestions
Consider moving the scopes table and error handling table to a separate reference file (e.g., INSTANTLY-REFERENCE.md) and linking to it, keeping SKILL.md focused on the setup workflow.
Pick one language for the inline client wrapper and reference the other in a separate file to reduce token cost.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The skill provides both TypeScript and Python client wrappers, which adds bulk. The scopes table is useful reference but lengthy. Some content like the prerequisites section explaining plan pricing is borderline unnecessary for Claude. Overall mostly efficient but could be tightened. | 2 / 3 |
Actionability | Fully executable code examples for both TypeScript and Python, complete with environment setup, client wrappers, and verification scripts. The bash commands, error table, and scope reference are all concrete and copy-paste ready. | 3 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | Clear 4-step sequence from key generation through verification. Step 4 explicitly validates the connection, providing a feedback loop — if auth fails, the error handling table guides resolution. The workflow is well-sequenced with a clear checkpoint. | 3 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | The content is somewhat monolithic — the scopes table, two full client implementations (TypeScript + Python), and error handling table are all inline. The scopes reference and error table could be split into separate files. The 'Next Steps' reference to `instantly-hello-world` is good, but overall the file is heavy for an overview. | 2 / 3 |
