Quality

Content

72%

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

The body is a lean, well-organized overview that assumes Claude's competence and points to a single deeper reference, but it stops short of fully actionable examples and leaves validation as an abstract step rather than concrete checkpoints.

Suggestions

Add a minimal copy-paste config.yaml example showing the required defaults (version: v0.3.0, one default: true provider, $ENV_VAR secrets) to make the guidance fully executable.

Replace the abstract 'validation checklist' step with explicit validation commands or checkpoints inside the workflow (e.g., 'run planoai trace to confirm routing before declaring done').

Consolidate the redundant 'How To Use' and 'Operating Workflow' sections into one sequenced workflow to remove overlap and sharpen the process.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

The ~44-line body is lean, bullet-driven, and never explains concepts Claude already knows; it adds only Plano-specific facts (version defaults, CLI flags, config rules) that earn their tokens.

3 / 3

Actionability

It gives some concrete, executable specifics (planoai up --with-tracing, planoai trace, $ENV_VAR substitution, host.docker.internal), but there are no complete copy-paste examples such as a config.yaml snippet, leaving the guidance incomplete.

2 / 3

Workflow Clarity

Both 'How To Use' and 'Operating Workflow' list sequenced steps, but validation is only mentioned abstractly ('validation checklist', 'validation steps') with no concrete checkpoint commands, and the two overlapping workflow sections dilute the sequence.

2 / 3

Progressive Disclosure

The body is under 50 lines, well-organized into clearly labeled sections, and offloads the full rulebook to a single one-level-deep, clearly signaled reference (skills/AGENTS.md), with no bundle files needing deeper structure.

Description

50%

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 states a clear domain and enumerates relevant sub-areas, but it reads as a topic list rather than concrete actions and omits any explicit use-trigger, leaving what/when only half answered. It is Plano-anchored but broad enough to risk overlap with narrower sibling skills.

Suggestions

Add an explicit 'Use when...' clause (e.g., 'Use when configuring or debugging Plano agents across config, routing, or deployment') to satisfy the completeness 'when' requirement.

Replace topic labels with concrete action verbs (e.g., 'Validate config.yaml, route requests across providers, harden filter chains') to lift specificity toward a 3.

Narrow the umbrella framing or name the distinguishing trigger so it is less likely to collide with section-specific Plano skills.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

It names a clear domain ("building agents and agentic applications with Plano") and enumerates sub-areas (configuration, routing, orchestration, guardrails, observability, deployment), but these are topic labels rather than concrete action verbs like "validate", "route", or "deploy".

2 / 3

Completeness

The description clearly answers "what" (best practices for building Plano agents across listed areas) but provides no explicit "when" / "Use when..." trigger, which per the guidelines caps completeness at 2.

2 / 3

Trigger Term Quality

Terms like "Plano", "routing", "orchestration", "guardrails", and "observability" are recognizable to a Plano user, but the phrasing is jargon-heavy and lacks natural user variations or an explicit trigger clause.

2 / 3

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

The Plano anchor gives it a niche, but as a broad umbrella over "agents and agentic applications" it overlaps with both general agent-building skills and the section-specific Plano skills the body itself references.
