Discovery
75%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 well-structured with a clear 'Use when' clause that provides explicit trigger guidance, and it carves out a distinct niche around specification management. However, the core capability description is somewhat vague ('Manage') and could benefit from listing specific actions, and the trigger terms could be expanded to cover more natural user language variations.
Suggestions
Replace 'Manage' with specific concrete actions like 'Create, update, validate, and track specification documents in .agent/specs/'
Add more natural trigger terms users might say, such as 'user stories', 'PRD', 'definition of done', 'spec files', or 'test criteria'
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Specificity | Names the domain (specification documents) and mentions some actions like 'tracked and validated against implementation', but doesn't list multiple concrete actions (e.g., create, update, delete, validate specs). 'Manage' is somewhat vague. | 2 / 3 |
Completeness | Clearly answers both what ('Manage specification documents in .agent/specs/') and when ('Use when user provides requirements, acceptance criteria, or feature descriptions that need to be tracked and validated against implementation') with explicit trigger guidance. | 3 / 3 |
Trigger Term Quality | Includes relevant terms like 'requirements', 'acceptance criteria', 'feature descriptions', and 'specs', but misses common variations users might say such as 'spec', 'user stories', 'test criteria', 'definition of done', or 'PRD'. | 2 / 3 |
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk | The specific path '.agent/specs/' and the focus on specification documents with acceptance criteria and validation against implementation creates a clear niche that is unlikely to conflict with general documentation or code skills. | 3 / 3 |

Implementation
72%Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.
This is a concise, well-structured skill that effectively uses progressive disclosure by pointing to a template. However, it lacks concrete examples of spec content and validation output, and the validation workflow would benefit from explicit feedback loops for handling non-compliance. The actionability could be improved with a sample filled-in spec or a concrete traceability checklist example.
Suggestions
Add a brief concrete example showing what a filled-in spec section looks like (e.g., a sample requirement entry with implementation location and test mapping).
Add explicit validation feedback loop: what to do when implementation doesn't match spec (e.g., flag gaps, update spec, or create issues).
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The content is lean and efficient. No unnecessary explanations of what specs are or why they matter. Every section serves a purpose and there's no padding. | 3 / 3 |
Actionability | The procedure provides steps but they are somewhat abstract—no concrete examples of what a filled-in spec looks like, no example commands or file content. The template reference helps but the inline guidance is more descriptive than executable. | 2 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | Steps are listed for both creating and validating specs, but validation lacks explicit checkpoints or feedback loops. There's no guidance on what to do if validation fails or how to handle partial compliance against requirements. | 2 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | The skill is appropriately short with a clear reference to the spec template file one level deep. Content is well-organized into logical sections (Purpose, Location, Procedure, Template) with easy navigation. | 3 / 3 |

Validation
90%Checks the skill against the spec for correct structure and formatting. All validation checks must pass before discovery and implementation can be scored.
