Quality

Content

87%

Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.

The body is concise, actionable, and well-structured for a simple skill. The one gap is the absence of a verification step in the note-creation workflow, which is a mutating operation that could silently overwrite an existing note.

Suggestions

Add a pre-write check to the 'Create a new note' workflow: verify no same-named note already exists (e.g., 'find ... -name "<Title>.md"') before writing, and confirm the file was created afterward.

Clarify the 'hierarchical numbering scheme' referenced in step 4 with a concrete example so the instruction is self-contained.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

The body is lean — tight bullets and executable snippets with no padding or explanation of concepts Claude already knows (e.g., what Obsidian or wikilinks are), matching the 'lean and efficient' anchor.

3 / 3

Actionability

Provides concrete, copy-paste-ready commands such as 'find ... -name "*.md" | grep -i "keyword"' and 'grep -rl "keyword" ... --include="*.md"', matching 'fully executable code/commands'.

3 / 3

Workflow Clarity

Workflows are clearly sequenced and search tasks are unambiguous, but the 'Create a new note' write workflow lacks any validation/verification checkpoint (e.g., checking for an existing note before writing), which caps it at 'steps listed but validation gaps'.

2 / 3

Progressive Disclosure

A well-organized, under-50-line skill with clear sections (Vault location, Naming conventions, Linking, Workflows) and no need for external references, meeting the simple-skill allowance for a top score.

Description

85%

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 clearly conveys capability and explicit trigger conditions in a concise, third-person form. Its main weakness is trigger-term breadth, which covers the obvious Obsidian phrasings but omits common variations users might say.

Suggestions

Broaden trigger terms to include natural variations users may say, e.g., 'backlinks', 'zettelkasten', 'second brain', or 'MOC / map of content'.

Optionally mention the vault location cue or note-linking intent in the trigger clause to sharpen distinctiveness further.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Enumerates multiple concrete actions ('Search, create, and manage notes') plus the wikilink/index-note mechanism, matching the 'lists multiple specific concrete actions' anchor.

3 / 3

Completeness

States both what it does ('Search, create, and manage notes in the Obsidian vault with wikilinks and index notes') and an explicit 'Use when user wants to find, create, or organize notes in Obsidian' trigger, satisfying the both-what-and-when anchor.

3 / 3

Trigger Term Quality

Includes natural terms ('find, create, or organize notes in Obsidian') but coverage is narrow — common Obsidian variations like 'backlinks', 'zettelkasten', or 'MOC' are absent, so it lands at 'some relevant keywords but missing common variations'.

2 / 3

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

The Obsidian-vault niche with wikilinks and index notes is a clear, distinct domain with Obsidian-specific triggers unlikely to conflict with other skills.
