Execute this skill should be used when the user asks about "how sprints work", "sprint phases", "iteration workflow", "convergent development", "sprint lifecycle", "when to use sprints", or wants to understand the sprint execution model and its convergent diffusion approach. Use when appropriate context detected. Trigger with relevant phrases based on skill purpose.

22%This description fails to explain what the skill actually does - it only lists trigger phrases without describing capabilities or actions. The meta-instruction 'Trigger with relevant phrases based on skill purpose' is meaningless filler. Claude cannot make an informed decision about when to use this skill because the actual functionality is never stated.
Suggestions
Add concrete actions describing what this skill does (e.g., 'Explains the sprint execution model, describes phase transitions, guides users through convergent development workflows').
Replace the circular 'Use when appropriate context detected. Trigger with relevant phrases based on skill purpose' with a clear 'Use when...' clause that specifies actual user scenarios.
Rewrite in third person voice describing capabilities (e.g., 'Guides teams through sprint phases and iteration workflows') rather than listing trigger phrases as the primary content.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Specificity | The description lacks concrete actions entirely. It only lists trigger phrases and meta-instructions ('Use when appropriate context detected') without describing what the skill actually does or what capabilities it provides. | 1 / 3 |
Completeness | The 'what' is almost entirely missing - we don't know what this skill does beyond vague references to 'sprint execution model'. The 'when' is present but circular and unhelpful ('Use when appropriate context detected'). | 1 / 3 |
Trigger Term Quality | Contains some relevant keywords like 'sprint phases', 'iteration workflow', 'sprint lifecycle' that users might say, but the generic filler 'Trigger with relevant phrases based on skill purpose' adds no value and some terms like 'convergent diffusion approach' are jargon users wouldn't naturally use. | 2 / 3 |
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk | The sprint/iteration terminology provides some distinctiveness, but without knowing what the skill actually does, it could easily conflict with other agile/project management skills. The vague nature makes conflict assessment difficult. | 2 / 3 |

Implementation
22%This skill is a generic template with placeholder content that provides zero actual guidance about sprint workflows, convergent development, or iteration processes. Despite the description promising information about sprint phases and lifecycle, the body contains only boilerplate text that could apply to any skill. The content completely fails to deliver on its stated purpose.
Suggestions
Replace placeholder instructions with actual sprint workflow steps: define sprint phases (planning, execution, review), explain convergent diffusion approach, and provide specific guidance for each phase
Add concrete examples of sprint artifacts, timelines, or decision points that Claude should recognize and act upon
Include specific validation checkpoints for sprint progress (e.g., 'Before moving to convergent phase, verify X criteria are met')
Define what 'trigger conditions' actually are - specify the user queries or contexts that should activate this skill with concrete examples
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The content is brief but consists almost entirely of generic placeholder text that provides no actual value. While not verbose, it wastes tokens on boilerplate that teaches nothing specific about sprint workflows. | 2 / 3 |
Actionability | The content is entirely vague and abstract with no concrete guidance. Instructions like 'Invoke this skill when trigger conditions are met' and 'Provide necessary context' give Claude nothing executable or specific to act on. | 1 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | The numbered steps are generic placeholders with no actual workflow for sprint execution. There's no sequence for sprint phases, no validation checkpoints, and no real process described despite the skill being about 'sprint workflow'. | 1 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | References to external files (errors.md, examples.md) are present and one-level deep, but the main content is so empty that the structure serves no purpose. The overview section contains no actual overview of sprint workflows. | 2 / 3 |
