Quality

Content

67%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.

The body delivers concrete, copy-paste CLI commands with a genuinely robust connection-state feedback loop, making it highly actionable. Its main weaknesses are token waste in the 'No description' actions table, a dangling 'Step 2' reference from an apparently larger template, and the absence of any post-run verification step.

Suggestions

Populate or prune the 'Popular actions' table — every Description cell reads 'No description', wasting tokens; either fill in real descriptions or drop the column and keep just name/key pairs.

Fix the dangling navigation: 'If the returned connection has state: "READY", skip to **Step 2**' references a Step 2 that doesn't exist — either number the sections consistently or remove the cross-reference.

Add a brief verification step after running actions (e.g. check the `output` field and handle error responses) to close the workflow's feedback loop.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

The body is mostly efficient commands, but the 20-row 'Popular actions' table whose Description column is uniformly 'No description' carries almost no information, the opening paragraph explains platform background, and filler like 'Use action names and parameters as needed.' adds nothing. It fits anchor 3 (mostly efficient but includes unnecessary content that could be tightened) rather than 4 because of the wasted table rows.

3 / 5

Actionability

Concrete, executable commands appear throughout: 'npm install -g @membranehq/cli@latest', 'membrane connection ensure "https://actionnetwork.org/" --json', 'membrane action run <actionId> --connectionId=... --input {...} --json', plus a proxy flag table and output-field guidance ('The result is in the `output` field'). This matches anchor 4 — mostly executable with minor gaps — rather than 5 because the actions table lacks descriptions and no complete end-to-end worked example with real values is given.

4 / 5

Workflow Clarity

The sequence is clear (install → login → connect → search → run) with an explicit feedback loop for the connection state machine (poll with --wait, CLIENT_ACTION_REQUIRED → user completes action → poll again, error states → check the `error` field). It falls short of anchor 5 because 'skip to **Step 2**' dangles with no Step 2 defined and there is no verification guidance after running actions, but checkpoints are explicit rather than implicit, keeping it above anchor 3.

4 / 5

Progressive Disclosure

The ~176-line body is a single flat file with well-labeled sections (Install, Authentication, Connecting, Searching, Running, Proxy, Best practices) and no nested references; no bundle files exist to score against. Structure and navigation are good with minor organization gaps (the Popular actions table and proxy options could live in a reference file), matching anchor 4 rather than 3 since sections are clearly signaled and navigable.

Description

57%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.

The description names a specific platform and includes an explicit 'Use when' clause, giving it adequate triggerability and low conflict risk. Its main weakness is vague capability language ('manage data, records, and automate workflows') that neither enumerates concrete actions nor includes domain-specific natural keywords users would actually say.

Suggestions

Replace 'Manage data, records, and automate workflows' with concrete capabilities, e.g. 'Manage Action Network people, events, petitions, fundraising pages, donations, tags, and email blasts'.

Expand the 'Use when' clause with natural trigger phrases such as 'when the user mentions Action Network, petitions, activist organizing, or fundraising campaigns'.

State the automation capability concretely (e.g. 'automate workflows across signup forms, surveys, and email lists') instead of the generic 'automate workflows'.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

"Manage data, records, and automate workflows" names the domain ("Action Network integration") but the actions are generic — no concrete capabilities like events, petitions, donations, or email blasts are stated. It does not reach anchor 3 because no 1-2 concrete actions are listed, and is above anchor 1 because the domain is named.

2 / 5

Completeness

Both parts are present: the what ("Action Network integration. Manage data, records, and automate workflows") and an explicit when ("Use when the user wants to interact with Action Network data"). The when clause is explicit but generic/circular, so it matches anchor 4 rather than 5, and the presence of a 'Use when' clause keeps it above the anchor-3 cap.

4 / 5

Trigger Term Quality

"Action Network" is a natural keyword and "data", "records", "workflows" appear, but common variations users would say (petitions, activists, donations, events, email lists) are missing. Coverage is only some relevant keywords, so it sits at anchor 3 rather than 4.

3 / 5

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

Naming the specific platform "Action Network" gives a clear niche with distinct triggers, but the generic action verbs ("manage data, records, and automate workflows") leave minor overlap risk with other data/automation skills. Anchor 4 fits better than 5 because of that generic tail.
