27%Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.
This skill is significantly over-engineered for what it delivers. It spends many tokens on meta-description (explaining what the skill does, when to use it, tips, related use cases) rather than providing concrete, tool-specific instructions for actually performing lead research. The output format template is the strongest element, but the lack of specific tool usage guidance (which search tools to use, how to verify information) and the excessive verbosity significantly reduce its effectiveness.
Suggestions
Remove the 'When to Use This Skill', 'What This Skill Does', 'Tips for Best Results', and 'Related Use Cases' sections entirely — they explain obvious concepts and waste tokens.
Add explicit tool usage instructions: specify that Claude should use web search to find companies, what search queries to construct, and how to verify company information.
Add a validation checkpoint after the research step (e.g., 'Verify at least 3 data points per lead before including in results; discard leads where key information cannot be confirmed').
Consolidate the 'How to Use' and 'Instructions' sections into a single concise workflow, eliminating the redundancy between describing the process and instructing on the process.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | Extremely verbose with many sections that explain obvious concepts Claude already knows (what lead research is, when to use it, what it does). The 'What This Skill Does' section is entirely redundant with the 'Instructions' section. The 'When to Use This Skill', 'Related Use Cases', and 'Tips for Best Results' sections add little actionable value. The entire file could be reduced to roughly 1/3 its size. | 1 / 3 |
Actionability | The output format template is concrete and useful, and the step-by-step instructions provide some structure. However, there are no executable code examples (no actual search commands, no API calls, no concrete tool usage), and the skill doesn't specify which tools Claude should use to actually find leads (web search, specific APIs, etc.). The guidance remains largely descriptive rather than executable. | 2 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | The 7-step workflow is clearly sequenced and logically ordered, but lacks validation checkpoints. There's no guidance on what to do when searches return poor results, no verification step to confirm lead quality, and no feedback loop for refining the ICP if initial results don't match expectations. For a research task that could easily go wrong, these gaps are notable. | 2 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | The content is a monolithic wall of text with no references to external files and no bundle structure. Multiple sections (When to Use, What This Skill Does, Related Use Cases, Tips) could be removed or consolidated. The output format template, examples, and detailed instructions are all inline when they could benefit from separation or at minimum better organization. | 1 / 3 |
