Turn ideas into clear, buildable specs for AI tools or stakeholder review. Use when starting features, planning projects, or when AI keeps building the wrong thing. Creates Quick Feature Specs (10-15 min) for immediate AI builds or Full Project Scopes (1-2 hours) for budget planning and contractor estimates.

Discovery
100%Based on the skill's description, can an agent find and select it at the right time? Clear, specific descriptions lead to better discovery.
This is a strong skill description that clearly communicates what it does (creates two types of specs with time estimates), when to use it (starting features, planning projects, AI building wrong things), and for whom (AI tools, stakeholders, contractors). It uses third person voice correctly, includes natural trigger terms, and is concise without being vague. The inclusion of specific deliverable types with time estimates adds excellent distinctiveness.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Specificity | Lists multiple concrete actions and outputs: 'Turn ideas into clear, buildable specs', 'Creates Quick Feature Specs (10-15 min) for immediate AI builds' and 'Full Project Scopes (1-2 hours) for budget planning and contractor estimates.' These are specific deliverables with time estimates and use cases. | 3 / 3 |
Completeness | Clearly answers both what ('Turn ideas into clear, buildable specs', 'Creates Quick Feature Specs' and 'Full Project Scopes') and when ('Use when starting features, planning projects, or when AI keeps building the wrong thing'). The explicit 'Use when...' clause is present with multiple trigger scenarios. | 3 / 3 |
Trigger Term Quality | Includes strong natural trigger terms users would say: 'specs', 'features', 'planning projects', 'AI keeps building the wrong thing', 'budget planning', 'contractor estimates', 'starting features'. These cover multiple natural phrasings a user might employ when needing this skill. | 3 / 3 |
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk | Occupies a clear niche around spec writing and project scoping specifically for AI tool development and stakeholder review. The two distinct output types (Quick Feature Specs vs Full Project Scopes) and the specific trigger 'AI keeps building the wrong thing' make this highly distinguishable from generic planning or documentation skills. | 3 / 3 |

Implementation
70%Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.
This skill has strong structural organization with clear workflow checklists and good progressive disclosure to supporting files. However, it includes several sections oriented toward human users rather than Claude (e.g., 'When You're Stuck', 'Success Looks Like', 'Using Your Spec With AI Tools'), which wastes tokens. The actionability is moderate—templates and checklists are helpful but the core content is deferred to external files.
Suggestions
Remove or significantly trim the 'When You're Stuck', 'Success Looks Like', and 'Using Your Spec With AI Tools' sections—these are human-facing advice that Claude doesn't need.
Add a complete, filled-out example of a Quick Feature Spec inline so Claude has a concrete reference rather than just templates with placeholders.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The skill is reasonably efficient but includes sections that don't add value for Claude, such as 'When You're Stuck' (advice for humans, not Claude), 'Success Looks Like' (motivational fluff), and 'Common Mistakes' table which partially restates what's already covered. The 'Using Your Spec With AI Tools' section also explains things Claude already knows. | 2 / 3 |
Actionability | Provides templates and checklists which are somewhat actionable, but the guidance is more about process/methodology than concrete executable steps. The templates use placeholder patterns rather than fully fleshed-out examples, and much of the actual content is deferred to external files (QUICK-SPEC.md, PROJECT-SCOPE.md). | 2 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | Both workflows have clear checklists with explicit progress tracking, well-sequenced sections, and defined outputs (save location, next steps). The Quick Feature Spec workflow has 5 clearly ordered sections, and the Full Project Scope has 7 required sections with a checklist. The 'After Scoping' section provides clear next-step routing. | 3 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | Excellent structure with a clear overview that routes to two approaches, each with well-signaled one-level-deep references to QUICK-SPEC.md and PROJECT-SCOPE.md. The main file provides enough context to understand each approach without requiring the referenced files, and navigation is intuitive. | 3 / 3 |
Total | 10 / 12 Passed |
