distribution-channels

When the user wants to plan product distribution via marketplaces, app stores, or third-party platforms. Also use when the user mentions "distribution channels," "marketplace listing," "app store listing," "Figma plugin," "Chrome extension marketplace," "AWS Marketplace," "Shopify app," "GPTs store," "app distribution," or "third-party marketplace." For channel mix, use integrated-marketing.

Quality

Content

72%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 well-structured, concise reference of channel types, marketplace categories, listing-optimization practices, and platform-selection guidance with good cross-skill navigation. Its main limitation is workflow clarity: it presents a planning framework rather than an explicitly sequenced workflow with checkpoints.

Suggestions

Add an explicit short workflow (e.g., 1. identify product type, 2. shortlist matching marketplace categories, 3. draft listing per optimization practices, 4. verify against platform requirements) to lift workflow clarity above 3.

Trim the time-sensitive market-sizing stat ('$85B+... by 2028') or move it to a clearly labeled context note, since time-sensitive figures penalize conciseness unless isolated.

Consider tightening or relocating the meta 'When invoking' usage guidance so the body stays focused on substantive distribution content.

Dimension	Reasoning	Score
Conciseness	Dense, table-driven body that assumes Claude's intelligence without over-explaining concepts; minor trimmable padding remains in the '$85B+ by 2028' market stat and the meta 'When invoking' guidance, keeping it just below the lean/efficient anchor at 5.	4 / 5
Actionability	Concrete, specific guidance throughout—named platforms per category and actionable practices ('Free trials, pay-as-you-go, private offers,' 'Optimize for marketplace search; clear descriptions, tags')—with only minor gaps, fitting the mostly-executable anchor adapted to an instruction skill.	4 / 5
Workflow Clarity	Organized as a reference framework with an implied sequence (channel types -> categories -> listing optimization -> platform selection) but no explicit workflow steps or validation checkpoints; no destructive/batch operations trigger the cap, so it sits at the steps-present-but-checkpoints-implicit anchor.	3 / 5
Progressive Disclosure	Self-contained ~60-line body with clear section headers and well-signaled one-level cross-skill navigation ('See pinterest-posts,' 'Related Skills'), with no content inlined that belongs in a separate file, matching the clear-overview anchor.	5 / 5

Description

90%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 strong: it explicitly covers what and when, lists comprehensive natural trigger terms including platform names, and draws a clear boundary against a sibling skill. The only weak spot is specificity, which names a single action ('plan') rather than enumerating several concrete distribution actions.

Dimension	Reasoning	Score
Specificity	Names the domain ('product distribution via marketplaces, app stores, or third-party platforms') with one concrete action ('plan'), but does not list several specific actions, matching the 1-2 concrete actions anchor rather than the multi-action anchor at 4.	3 / 5
Completeness	Explicitly answers both what ('plan product distribution via marketplaces, app stores, or third-party platforms') and when ('When the user wants to... Also use when the user mentions...') with concrete trigger phrases, matching the top anchor.	5 / 5
Trigger Term Quality	Comprehensive natural trigger terms including synonyms and specific platform names ('distribution channels,' 'marketplace listing,' 'Figma plugin,' 'AWS Marketplace,' 'Shopify app,' 'GPTs store,' 'third-party marketplace'), matching the comprehensive coverage anchor.	5 / 5
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk	Clear niche (third-party marketplaces/app stores) with distinct platform-specific triggers and an explicit boundary redirect ('For channel mix, use integrated-marketing'), giving minimal conflict risk.	5 / 5
