Discovery
0%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 an extremely weak skill description that provides almost no useful information for skill selection. It consists only of boilerplate metadata (skill name, category) without any concrete capabilities, use cases, or natural trigger terms. The description would be nearly useless in a multi-skill environment.
Suggestions
Add specific concrete actions the skill performs, e.g., 'Helps define, document, and validate Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) including setting targets, identifying data sources, and creating measurement formulas.'
Add a 'Use when...' clause with natural trigger terms like 'Use when the user asks about KPIs, metrics, performance indicators, business measures, or needs help defining what to track.'
Include common variations users might say: 'KPI', 'key performance indicator', 'metrics definition', 'what should we measure', 'business metrics', 'success metrics'.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Specificity | The description contains no concrete actions - only the name 'Kpi Definition Helper' and category 'Data Analytics'. There are no specific capabilities like 'creates KPI formulas', 'validates metrics', or 'generates dashboards'. | 1 / 3 |
Completeness | The description fails to answer 'what does this do' beyond the vague name, and has no 'Use when...' clause or equivalent guidance for when Claude should select this skill. | 1 / 3 |
Trigger Term Quality | The only trigger terms listed are 'kpi definition helper' repeated twice, which is the skill name itself rather than natural user language. Missing obvious terms like 'metrics', 'key performance indicators', 'measure', 'business metrics', 'KPIs'. | 1 / 3 |
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk | The generic 'Data Analytics' category and lack of specific triggers means this could easily conflict with any other analytics-related skill. Nothing distinguishes it from general data analysis tools. | 1 / 3 |
Total | 4 / 12 Passed |
Implementation
7%Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.
This skill is essentially a placeholder template with no actionable content. It describes capabilities in abstract terms but provides zero concrete guidance on KPI definition, no examples of KPIs, no SQL queries, no metrics formulas, and no actual instructions Claude could follow.
Suggestions
Add concrete examples of KPI definitions with actual formulas (e.g., 'Customer Churn Rate = (Lost Customers / Total Customers at Start) * 100')
Include executable SQL queries for calculating common KPIs like revenue metrics, conversion rates, or retention rates
Provide a clear workflow for defining a new KPI: identify business goal → select metric → define calculation → set targets → validate data sources
Remove generic boilerplate sections ('Capabilities', 'Example Triggers') and replace with actual KPI definition patterns and best practices
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The content is padded with generic boilerplate that provides no actual value. Phrases like 'provides automated assistance' and 'follows industry best practices' are vague filler that Claude doesn't need. | 1 / 3 |
Actionability | No concrete code, commands, examples, or specific guidance is provided. The skill describes what it does in abstract terms but never shows how to actually define a KPI or perform any related task. | 1 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | No workflow, steps, or process is defined. The content claims to provide 'step-by-step guidance' but includes zero actual steps for any KPI definition task. | 1 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | The content is organized into sections with headers, but there's no substantive content to disclose. No references to external files or deeper documentation are provided. | 2 / 3 |
Total | 5 / 12 Passed |
