Quality

Content

78%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.

A lean, well-structured single-purpose skill body with a clear sequenced checklist and a built-in verification step. Its main gap is actionability: it names the `planoai trace` tool but gives no executable command examples or flag syntax to run.

Suggestions

Add one or two concrete executable `planoai trace` command examples with realistic filter flags so Claude can copy-paste rather than guess syntax.

Add an explicit feedback loop to the checklist (e.g. "If the trace yields no relevant spans, widen the time/sampling filter and re-query") to lift workflow clarity toward 5.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

The body is lean: a one-line purpose, three short "When To Use" bullets, a three-item rule list, and a five-step checklist, with no padding or over-explanation of concepts Claude already knows, matching the 5-anchor's "every token earns its place".

5 / 5

Actionability

Checklist names one concrete tool ("Use `planoai trace` filters") and concrete attribute categories, but provides no executable flag syntax or copy-paste examples, matching the 3-anchor's "some concrete guidance but incomplete"; not 4 because no runnable commands are shown.

3 / 5

Workflow Clarity

The five-step Execution Checklist is sequenced, and step 5 ("Return exact commands to reproduce and validate findings") plus step 4 ("Prefer trace evidence over assumptions") provide validation guidance, matching the 4-anchor; not 5 because there is no explicit validate-then-retry feedback loop.

4 / 5

Progressive Disclosure

Under 50 lines with no need for external references, the body is well-organized into When To Use, Apply These Rules, and Execution Checklist sections; per the simple-skill note this matches the 5-anchor.

Description

71%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.

A concise, distinctive description that clearly states what it does and when to use it with concrete action domains. Its main weakness is trigger term quality: the when-clause relies on technical jargon rather than the natural phrases a user would say.

Suggestions

Add natural trigger phrasings to the when-clause, e.g. "Use when the user asks to debug routing, inspect latency, or query traces for Plano."

Replace the broad verb "Improve" with more concrete capability verbs (e.g. "Configure", "Add", "Query") to lift specificity toward 5.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Quotes "sampling strategy, span attributes, and trace query-based root-cause analysis" name three concrete action areas, matching the 4-anchor's "several specific actions"; not 5 because actions are domains rather than concrete verbs and "Improve" is broad.

4 / 5

Completeness

Answers both "what" ("Improve Plano tracing and debugging workflows") and "when" ("Use for sampling strategy, span attributes, and trace query-based root-cause analysis"), matching the 4-anchor; not 5 because the when-clause lists domain labels rather than concrete natural trigger phrases.

4 / 5

Trigger Term Quality

Terms like "sampling strategy", "span attributes", and "trace query" are relevant but technical; common natural phrasings (e.g. "debug routing", "latency") are mostly absent from the description, matching the 3-anchor's "some relevant keywords but missing common variations".

3 / 5

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

The "Plano tracing" niche with domain-specific triggers (span attributes, trace queries) gives a clear niche with minimal conflict risk, matching the 5-anchor.
