Activation
7%This description is severely underdeveloped, appearing to be auto-generated boilerplate rather than a thoughtful skill description. It lacks any explanation of capabilities, has redundant and limited trigger terms, and provides no guidance on when Claude should select this skill. The only redeeming quality is that 'pivot table' is a somewhat specific domain term.
Suggestions
Add concrete actions the skill performs, e.g., 'Creates pivot tables from tabular data, summarizes values by categories, calculates aggregations (sum, count, average), and groups data by multiple dimensions.'
Expand trigger terms to include natural user phrases: 'pivot table', 'summarize by category', 'aggregate data', 'cross-tabulation', 'group and sum', 'Excel pivot', 'data summarization'.
Add an explicit 'Use when...' clause: 'Use when the user wants to summarize, aggregate, or cross-tabulate data, or mentions pivot tables, data grouping, or categorical summaries.'
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Specificity | The description only names the skill ('Pivot Table Creator') without describing any concrete actions. It doesn't explain what the skill actually does - no verbs like 'creates', 'analyzes', 'summarizes', or specific capabilities. | 1 / 3 |
Completeness | The description fails to answer 'what does this do' (no actions described) and 'when should Claude use it' (no explicit use cases or trigger guidance beyond the redundant trigger terms). | 1 / 3 |
Trigger Term Quality | The triggers listed are just 'pivot table creator' repeated twice. Missing natural user terms like 'pivot table', 'summarize data', 'aggregate', 'cross-tabulation', 'Excel', 'spreadsheet analysis', or 'group by'. | 1 / 3 |
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk | While 'pivot table' is a specific concept that provides some distinctiveness, the lack of detail about what operations it performs could cause overlap with general spreadsheet or data analysis skills. | 2 / 3 |

Implementation
0%This skill content is entirely meta-description with no actual instructional value. It describes what a pivot table creator skill would do without providing any concrete guidance, code examples, or workflows for actually creating pivot tables. The content is essentially a placeholder template that fails on all dimensions.
Suggestions
Add concrete, executable code examples showing how to create pivot tables (e.g., using pandas pivot_table() or Excel formulas)
Include a clear workflow with specific steps: 1) identify source data, 2) define rows/columns/values, 3) apply aggregation functions, 4) validate output
Remove all meta-description boilerplate ('This skill provides...', 'When to Use...') and replace with actual pivot table creation instructions
Add specific examples with sample input data and expected pivot table output to make the guidance actionable
| 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 | There is zero concrete guidance, no code examples, no specific commands, and no actual instructions on how to create pivot tables. The content only describes what the skill claims to do without showing how. | 1 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | No workflow is provided whatsoever. Despite claiming to provide 'step-by-step guidance,' there are no actual steps, sequences, or processes defined for creating pivot tables. | 1 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | The content is a monolithic block of meta-description with no structure pointing to actual implementation details, examples, or reference materials. There are no useful references or organized sections. | 1 / 3 |
