Quality

Content

82%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 body is a strong, execution-focused skill: it gives exact bash commands, a meaningful pre-validation gate (panel-member refusal and synthesis-parent resolution) that prevents acting on the wrong job, error-cause triage, and concrete worked examples. The main weaknesses are mild redundancy in the Examples section and a soft verification step that relies on command output rather than an explicit post-close check.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

The body is lean and operational — no explanation of concepts Claude already knows, no library tutorials — with genuinely novel, tool-specific knowledge ('panel_role', 'synthesis parent', sandbox loopback escalation). It is not a 5 because the Examples section largely restates the Instructions commands verbatim and the 'IMPORTANT' paragraph partly repeats the task definition.

4 / 5

Actionability

Every step is a copy-paste-ready command: 'roborev show --job <job_id> --json', 'roborev comment --job <resolved_job_id> "<message>" && roborev close <resolved_job_id>', with the resolved-ID convention, quoting caveat, and both with-message and without-message cases covered by concrete examples. Nothing is pseudocode.

5 / 5

Workflow Clarity

The three-step sequence (validate input → record and close → verify success) has a real pre-flight checkpoint (inspect the job, refuse panel members, resolve the synthesis parent before acting) and an error section enumerating common causes with remedies ('suggest roborev init'). It is not a 5 because verification is described passively ('Both commands will output confirmation') with no explicit post-check command or retry loop.

4 / 5

Progressive Disclosure

There are no bundle files (references/, scripts/, assets/ are absent), so everything appropriately lives in a single well-sectioned SKILL.md: Usage, invocation rules, sandbox notes, numbered instructions, examples, and a 'See also' pointer to $roborev-fix. It is not a 5 because the ~105-line body exceeds the simple-skill size where pure sectioning earns full credit, and the Examples/See-also material is the kind of content that could be split out if the skill grows.

Description

42%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 a pure gatekeeping clause: it says precisely when to use the skill but never says what the skill does. For an explicit-invocation-only skill the trigger is honest and unambiguous, but the total absence of any capability statement ('Record a comment on a roborev code review and close it' exists only in the body) leaves the description incomplete and indistinguishable in substance from sibling roborev skills.

Suggestions

State the capability in the description, e.g. 'Records a comment on a roborev code review job and closes it. Use only when the user explicitly invokes $roborev-respond.' — this fixes both the missing 'what' and the low specificity.

Mention the sibling boundary in the description (e.g. 'to fix findings first, use $roborev-fix') to sharpen distinctiveness against the closely related skill.

Keep the explicit-invocation constraint but add the user-visible natural phrase users say, such as 'responding to a roborev review', so the trigger term has at least one synonym beyond the literal token.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

The description is "Use only when the user explicitly invokes $roborev-respond" — it names no concrete action or capability whatsoever (no mention of commenting on or closing a code review, the roborev domain, or any operation). This matches the anchor 'Entirely vague; no concrete actions' on the capability axis; it is not a 2 because it does not even name a problem domain, only the invocation token.

1 / 5

Completeness

Only the 'when' is present ('Use only when the user explicitly invokes $roborev-respond'); the 'what' (records a comment on a roborev code review and closes it) is entirely absent from the description. This matches the anchor 'only when is present without what'; it cannot be a 3 because a clear 'what' is a prerequisite for that level.

2 / 5

Trigger Term Quality

The single trigger term "$roborev-respond" (plus 'explicitly invokes') is exactly the literal string a user would type when they need this skill, which is the ideal natural trigger for an explicit-invocation skill. It is not a 5 because the coverage is one exact token with no synonyms or variations ('roborev respond', 'reply to the review') that a user might naturally say.

4 / 5

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

The literal token $roborev-respond is a distinct, unique trigger with minimal risk of firing for the wrong skill. It is not a 5 because with no capability statement, the description does little to distinguish this skill from siblings like $roborev-fix beyond the token itself, so a user reading the skill list cannot tell them apart.
