Quality

Content

100%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.

An exemplary short skill body: concise, fully executable, with a well-sequenced workflow and an explicit build-validation checkpoint. It assumes Claude's competence throughout and needs no external reference files.

Dimension	Reasoning	Score
Conciseness	Lean and efficient with no padding; it never explains what a plugin, Mattermost, or Go module is and every line is actionable.	5 / 5
Actionability	Provides fully executable, copy-paste-ready bash with rsync/cp fallbacks, plus concrete Grep/Edit guidance covering the common Option A/B cases.	5 / 5
Workflow Clarity	A clear six-step sequence with explicit validation (Step 5: run make, stop until green) and a feedback loop (analyze and address build failures), plus a pre-flight non-empty-directory check.	5 / 5
Progressive Disclosure	A single-purpose, well-sectioned skill under the simple-skills threshold with no bundle files and no broken external references, so the organized step structure suffices.	5 / 5

Description

87%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.

A strong, specific description that clearly states both what it does and when to use it, with natural trigger phrases and minimal conflict risk. Specificity is the only dimension with a small gap, as the body covers more (customization, build) than the description mentions.

Dimension	Reasoning	Score
Specificity	Names the Mattermost-plugin domain and several concrete actions ('from the starter template in the current directory', 'scaffolding', 'bootstrapping a plugin project') with only minor coverage gaps relative to the full workflow.	4 / 5
Completeness	Explicitly answers what (create a Mattermost plugin from the starter template in the current directory) and when ('Use when creating a new plugin from scratch, scaffolding a Mattermost plugin, or bootstrapping a plugin project').	5 / 5
Trigger Term Quality	Captures natural user phrases like 'creating a new plugin from scratch', 'scaffolding a Mattermost plugin', and 'bootstrapping' with good synonym coverage, missing only a few edge phrasings.	4 / 5
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk	'Mattermost plugin from the starter template' is a clear niche with distinct triggers and minimal overlap with other skills.	5 / 5
