Activation
7%This description is severely underdeveloped, essentially serving as a placeholder rather than a functional skill description. It lacks any concrete actions, meaningful trigger terms, or guidance on when Claude should select this skill. The repeated trigger term and boilerplate category mention provide no value for skill selection.
Suggestions
Add specific actions the skill performs, e.g., 'Generates step-by-step quickstart guides with installation instructions, configuration steps, and first-use examples'
Include a 'Use when...' clause with natural trigger terms like 'getting started', 'setup guide', 'onboarding documentation', 'first steps', 'installation guide'
Specify the output format or structure to distinguish from other documentation skills, e.g., 'Creates structured guides with prerequisites, installation, configuration, and verification sections'
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Specificity | The description only names the skill ('Quickstart Guide Generator') and its category ('Technical Documentation') but provides no concrete actions. There's no indication of what the skill actually does - no verbs describing capabilities like 'creates', 'generates', 'formats', etc. | 1 / 3 |
Completeness | The description fails to answer 'what does this do' beyond the name, and the 'when' clause is essentially non-existent - it only says it 'auto-activates' without explaining the conditions. There's no explicit 'Use when...' guidance. | 1 / 3 |
Trigger Term Quality | The trigger terms listed are just the skill name repeated twice ('quickstart guide generator, quickstart guide generator'). This is redundant and misses natural variations users would say like 'getting started guide', 'setup instructions', 'onboarding docs', 'how to get started'. | 1 / 3 |
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk | While 'quickstart guide' is somewhat specific compared to generic 'documentation', the lack of detail about what distinguishes this from other documentation skills (API docs, tutorials, README files) creates potential overlap. The category mention 'Technical Documentation' suggests other similar skills may exist. | 2 / 3 |

Implementation
0%This skill is essentially a placeholder with no substantive content. It describes what a quickstart guide generator skill would do in abstract terms but provides zero actionable guidance, no examples of quickstart guide formats, no templates, and no concrete instructions. Claude would gain nothing from this skill that it doesn't already know.
Suggestions
Add a concrete quickstart guide template with sections (Prerequisites, Installation, First Steps, Verification) and example content for each
Include 2-3 executable examples showing input (project context) and output (generated quickstart guide markdown)
Define a clear workflow: 1) Gather project info, 2) Identify prerequisites, 3) Write installation steps, 4) Create verification commands, 5) Review for completeness
Remove all generic boilerplate ('provides automated assistance', 'follows best practices') and replace with specific formatting rules and content guidelines
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The content is padded with generic boilerplate that explains nothing specific about quickstart guide generation. Phrases like 'provides automated assistance' and 'follows industry best practices' are meaningless filler that waste tokens. | 1 / 3 |
Actionability | There is zero concrete guidance - no code, no commands, no examples of actual quickstart guide structure or content. The skill describes what it does abstractly but never instructs Claude how to actually generate a quickstart guide. | 1 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | No workflow is defined. There are no steps, no sequence, no validation checkpoints. The content merely lists vague 'capabilities' without explaining any process for creating quickstart guides. | 1 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | The content is a flat, unstructured list of generic statements with no references to detailed materials, no examples, and no navigation to supporting documentation. Everything is surface-level with nothing to disclose progressively. | 1 / 3 |
