he-brainstorm

Explore Harness Engineering options, filter ornate or weak ideas, recover dropped leverage, and select survivor routes before commitment. Use when intent, stage choice, tradeoffs, idea quality, or possible solution shapes are still unsettled before spec, plan, Linear, or implementation work.

Content

92%Weight 40%Scale 1-5

Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.

The SKILL.md body is a tight, actionable process description with a sequenced procedure, explicit validation/failure handling, and well-organized one-level references. It respects the context budget while remaining concrete.

Dimension	Reasoning	Score
Conciseness	The body is dense and lean with no padding and no explanation of concepts Claude already knows — e.g. "Fail fast. Check scope, traceability, evidence labels..." — so every token earns its place.	5 / 5
Actionability	Mostly executable guidance with a concrete validation command ("python3 Plugins/harness-engineering/scripts/check_bluf_structure.py <path> --json"), explicit artifact routes, and specific tool usage ("use request_user_input for one bounded branch question"), with only minor gaps typical of a process-oriented skill.	4 / 5
Workflow Clarity	A clear 12-step procedure pairs with an explicit Validation section ("Report pass, fail, or blocked") and Failure Handling recovery steps, providing explicit checkpoints and feedback loops for the destructive/batch operations the safety boundaries warn about.	5 / 5
Progressive Disclosure	Clear overview with well-signaled, one-level-deep local references (e.g. "Read when detailed flow is needed: references/brainstorm-workflow-details.md"), all of which are real verified files, with detail appropriately split out and easy to navigate.	5 / 5

Description

87%Weight 40%Scale 1-5

Based on the skill's description, can an agent find and select it at the right time? Clear, specific descriptions lead to better discovery.

The description is specific, complete, and well-triggered, naming concrete brainstorming actions alongside a rich "Use when" clause. It is distinct from sibling skills and avoids vague fluff.

Dimension	Reasoning	Score
Specificity	Names the domain (Harness Engineering) and several concrete actions — "Explore Harness Engineering options, filter ornate or weak ideas, recover dropped leverage, and select survivor routes before commitment" — with only minor coverage gaps, matching the "lists several specific actions" anchor.	4 / 5
Completeness	Clearly answers "what" with four explicit actions and "when" via a concrete "Use when intent, stage choice, tradeoffs, idea quality, or possible solution shapes are still unsettled before spec, plan, Linear, or implementation work" clause, matching the explicit what-and-with-trigger-phrases anchor.	5 / 5
Trigger Term Quality	Strong natural phrases a user would say — "filter ornate or weak ideas", "recover dropped leverage", "before spec, plan, Linear, or implementation" — with good keyword coverage; a few common synonyms are missing, so it sits just below the comprehensive anchor.	4 / 5
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk	A clear niche with distinct triggers ("Harness Engineering", "survivor routes", "Linear") that other skills would not naturally fire on, giving minimal conflict risk.	5 / 5
