7%This description is essentially a placeholder that provides almost no useful information for skill selection. It relies entirely on the skill name without explaining capabilities, use cases, or providing meaningful trigger terms. The redundant trigger terms and lack of concrete actions make it nearly impossible for Claude to reliably select this skill over alternatives.
Suggestions
Add specific actions the skill performs, e.g., 'Creates structured tutorial outlines with learning objectives, prerequisites, step-by-step sections, and estimated completion times'
Include a 'Use when...' clause with natural trigger scenarios like 'Use when creating how-to guides, lesson plans, training materials, or when structuring educational content'
Expand trigger terms to include variations users would naturally say: 'tutorial structure', 'how-to outline', 'guide outline', 'lesson structure', 'training outline', 'documentation structure'
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Specificity | The description only names the skill ('Tutorial Outline Creator') without describing any concrete actions. There are no specific capabilities listed like 'creates structured outlines', 'organizes topics hierarchically', or 'generates learning objectives'. | 1 / 3 |
Completeness | The description fails to answer 'what does this do' beyond the name itself, and provides no explicit 'when to use' guidance. The 'Triggers on' section just repeats the skill name rather than describing use cases. | 1 / 3 |
Trigger Term Quality | The trigger terms are redundant ('tutorial outline creator' listed twice) and overly specific. Missing natural variations users would say like 'create tutorial', 'outline for guide', 'structure documentation', 'lesson plan', or 'how-to outline'. | 1 / 3 |
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk | While 'Tutorial Outline Creator' is somewhat specific to a niche, the lack of detail about what distinguishes it from general documentation skills or other outline tools creates potential overlap. The category mention helps slightly but isn't sufficient. | 2 / 3 |

Implementation
7%This skill is essentially a placeholder with no actionable content. It describes what a tutorial outline creator skill would do without actually providing any guidance, examples, templates, or concrete instructions for creating tutorial outlines. The entire content could be replaced with a single sentence and lose nothing of value.
Suggestions
Add a concrete tutorial outline template or structure (e.g., sections like Prerequisites, Learning Objectives, Step-by-step Instructions, Summary, Next Steps)
Include at least one complete example showing an input topic and the resulting outline structure
Provide specific guidance on how to determine appropriate scope, depth, and sequencing for different tutorial types
Remove generic boilerplate sections (Purpose, Capabilities, Example Triggers) and replace with actionable content
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The content is padded with generic boilerplate that explains nothing specific about tutorial outline creation. Phrases like 'provides automated assistance' and 'follows industry best practices' are meaningless filler that Claude doesn't need. | 1 / 3 |
Actionability | There is zero concrete guidance on how to actually create a tutorial outline. No examples of outline structures, no templates, no specific steps or formats—just vague descriptions of what the skill supposedly does. | 1 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | No workflow is provided whatsoever. The skill claims to provide 'step-by-step guidance' but contains no actual steps for creating tutorial outlines. | 1 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | The content has clear section headers and is organized, but there's nothing of substance to disclose. No references to detailed materials or examples that would warrant progressive disclosure. | 2 / 3 |
