0%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 critically weak across all dimensions. It reads more like a document title than a functional skill description, providing no concrete actions, no trigger guidance, and no distinguishing characteristics that would help Claude select it appropriately from a skill library.
Suggestions
Add specific concrete actions the skill performs (e.g., 'Creates product requirement documents, defines MVP features, outlines development roadmaps, generates user story templates').
Include an explicit 'Use when...' clause with natural trigger terms (e.g., 'Use when the user mentions PRD, product specs, MVP planning, feature prioritization, or starting a new product').
Narrow the scope to a specific aspect of product development to reduce conflict risk (e.g., focus on PRD creation, or roadmap planning, or user research synthesis).
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Specificity | The description uses vague, abstract language ('quick start guide') without listing any concrete actions. It doesn't specify what actions Claude would perform - no verbs describing capabilities. | 1 / 3 |
Completeness | Fails to answer both 'what does this do' and 'when should Claude use it'. There's no 'Use when...' clause and the 'what' is extremely vague - it's unclear what specific tasks this skill performs. | 1 / 3 |
Trigger Term Quality | Contains generic terms ('quick start', 'new product development') that are overly broad and not natural trigger phrases users would say when needing specific help. Missing actionable keywords. | 1 / 3 |
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk | Extremely generic description that could conflict with any skill related to products, development, guides, or onboarding. 'Product development' is a broad domain with no distinguishing specifics. | 1 / 3 |

Implementation
14%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 pointer to another file with no substantive content of its own. It fails to provide any actual quick-start guidance for product development, instead describing meta-instructions for displaying documentation that Claude already knows how to handle. The skill adds no value beyond what a simple file path reference would provide.
Suggestions
Include the actual quick-start content directly in this skill file, or at minimum provide a meaningful summary of the product development process
Remove the meta-instructions about how Claude should read and display files - Claude already knows how to do this
Add concrete, actionable steps for new product development with specific examples or templates
If referencing external files is necessary, provide context about what each file contains and when to use it
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The content is relatively brief but includes unnecessary meta-instructions about how Claude should display documentation, which Claude already knows how to do. The actual quick-start content is deferred to another file. | 2 / 3 |
Actionability | The skill provides no concrete guidance for product development - it only describes how to display documentation from another file. There are no executable examples, specific steps, or actual quick-start content. | 1 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | The numbered steps describe how to display a file, not how to do product development. The actual workflow for the skill's stated purpose (new product development) is completely absent. | 1 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | The skill defers all actual content to an external file without providing any overview or summary of what that content contains. This is an empty shell that provides no value on its own. | 1 / 3 |
