Quality

Content

85%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 content is a tight, well-structured triage skill: concrete validation commands, a sequenced workflow with fail-fast checkpoints and recovery guidance, and clean one-level-deep references. The only slack is minor redundancy between the Overview and the description and a TOC on a short document.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

The body is efficient with bullet lists and no explanations of concepts Claude already knows, but the Overview restates the description and a Table of Contents on a ~110-line doc is minor overhead, so it does not reach the lean-every-token-earns-its-place anchor of 5.

4 / 5

Actionability

It provides copy-paste-ready commands ('bash scripts/codex-preflight.sh --repo-fragment local-memory --mode optional', 'codex mcp list', 'lsof -nP -iTCP:3002') covering the common validation cases, but step 1 defers to the sibling skill without an exact command and per-class fix commands live in references, leaving minor gaps versus the fully-executable anchor.

4 / 5

Workflow Clarity

A clear 5-step sequence is paired with an explicit Validation section, fail-fast guidance ('stop at the first failed gate and fix it before continuing'), and feedback loops in Failure mode ('if still ambiguous, report competing hypotheses'), matching the anchor for explicit validation steps with error-recovery loops.

5 / 5

Progressive Disclosure

The body is an overview pointing to three one-level-deep reference files, each signaled with a 'Read when' trigger, and the taxonomy/contract/evals detail is appropriately split into those files with easy navigation, matching the top anchor.

Description

78%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 well-constructed: explicit what-and-when with concrete, operator-natural trigger terms and a clear niche. Its main limitation is action specificity, listing only 'diagnose' and 'classify' rather than a fuller set of concrete actions.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Names the domain ('MCP and Local Memory startup failures in this repo') and two concrete actions ('Diagnose and classify'), matching the anchor for 1-2 concrete actions without comprehensive coverage; it does not reach 4 because no additional specific actions are enumerated.

3 / 5

Completeness

It explicitly answers both 'what' (diagnose and classify MCP and Local Memory startup failures) and 'when' with concrete trigger phrases, satisfying the top anchor; the explicit 'Use this skill when' clause means it is not capped at 3.

5 / 5

Trigger Term Quality

The 'Use this skill when' clause lists several specific operator-facing triggers ('codex mcp list', 'Codex startup', 'hook startup', 'mise trust', 'Local Memory listener checks'), giving good keyword coverage; it stops short of 5 because synonyms and file extensions are absent.

4 / 5

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

It carves a clear niche (MCP/Local Memory startup triage with mise and hook triggers) that is mostly distinct, but a sibling config-drift-guard skill creates minor overlap risk with a closely related skill, keeping it below 5.
