Discovery
7%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 description is severely underdeveloped, essentially just restating the skill name without providing any meaningful detail about capabilities or usage triggers. It lacks concrete actions, natural trigger terms, and explicit guidance on when Claude should select this skill. The redundant trigger term listing suggests auto-generated content without human refinement.
Suggestions
Add specific concrete actions the skill performs, e.g., 'Creates step-by-step quickstart guides with installation instructions, code examples, and verification steps'
Include a 'Use when...' clause with natural trigger terms like 'getting started guide', 'setup tutorial', 'onboarding documentation', 'how to begin', 'first steps'
Specify the scope and context, e.g., 'for APIs, SDKs, CLI tools, or software products' to distinguish from other documentation skills
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Specificity | The description only states 'Quickstart Guide Generator' and 'Technical Documentation' without describing any concrete actions. There are no specific capabilities listed like 'creates step-by-step tutorials' or 'generates installation instructions'. | 1 / 3 |
Completeness | The description fails to answer 'what does this do' beyond the name itself, and provides no 'when should Claude use it' guidance. There is no 'Use when...' clause or equivalent explicit trigger guidance. | 1 / 3 |
Trigger Term Quality | The trigger terms are redundantly listed as 'quickstart guide generator' twice, which is overly specific and unlikely to match natural user language. Missing common variations like 'getting started', 'setup guide', 'tutorial', 'how to start', or 'onboarding docs'. | 1 / 3 |
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk | While 'quickstart guide' is somewhat specific, the broad 'Technical Documentation' category could overlap with other documentation skills. The lack of specific scope (what types of quickstarts, for what technologies) creates potential conflict with other documentation tools. | 2 / 3 |

Implementation
0%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 with no substantive content. It describes what a quickstart guide generator skill might do but provides absolutely no actionable guidance, examples, templates, or workflows for actually generating quickstart guides. The entire content could be replaced with a single sentence without losing any practical value.
Suggestions
Add a concrete quickstart guide template with sections (Prerequisites, Installation, First Steps, Verification) that Claude can use as a starting point
Include 1-2 complete examples showing input (project context) and output (generated quickstart guide) to demonstrate the expected format
Define a clear workflow: 1) Gather project info, 2) Identify prerequisites, 3) Write installation steps, 4) Add verification commands, 5) Review for completeness
Remove all generic boilerplate ('provides automated assistance', 'follows best practices') and replace with specific guidance on tone, length, and structure expectations for quickstart guides
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The content is padded with generic boilerplate that explains obvious concepts Claude already knows. Phrases like 'provides automated assistance' and 'follows industry best practices' add no value and waste tokens. | 1 / 3 |
Actionability | The skill contains zero concrete guidance, no code examples, no specific commands, and no actual instructions for generating quickstart guides. It only describes what the skill supposedly does without showing how. | 1 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | There is no workflow defined at all. No steps, no sequence, no validation checkpoints. The content merely lists vague 'capabilities' without any process for accomplishing quickstart guide generation. | 1 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | The content is a monolithic block of unhelpful text with no references to detailed materials, no links to examples, templates, or related documentation that would actually help with quickstart guide generation. | 1 / 3 |
Total | 4 / 12 Passed |
