Discovery
89%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 with excellent trigger terms and completeness. The explicit 'Use when' clause covers multiple relevant scenarios PMs would naturally ask about. The main weakness is that the core capability ('plans') could be more specific about concrete outputs or actions.
Suggestions
Replace 'Plans PM career growth' with more specific actions like 'Creates career development plans, identifies promotion criteria, maps skill progression paths'
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Specificity | Names the domain (PM career growth) and mentions frameworks and sources (40+ career episodes, Ami Vora's strategies), but the actual actions are somewhat vague - 'plans' is abstract and doesn't specify concrete deliverables like 'creates development plans' or 'maps skill matrices'. | 2 / 3 |
Completeness | Clearly answers both what (plans PM career growth using specific frameworks) and when (explicit 'Use when' clause covering promotions, skill gaps, career transitions, IC vs management decisions). | 3 / 3 |
Trigger Term Quality | Includes strong natural keywords users would say: 'promotions', 'skill gaps', 'career transitions', 'IC and management paths'. These are terms PMs naturally use when seeking career guidance. | 3 / 3 |
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk | Highly distinctive with clear niche - specifically PM career growth with named sources (Ami Vora, 40+ career episodes). Unlikely to conflict with generic career or coaching skills due to PM-specific focus and explicit framework references. | 3 / 3 |
Total | 11 / 12 Passed |
Implementation
62%Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.
This skill provides a reasonable structure for PM career planning with useful templates and checklists. However, it lacks the concrete, specific guidance that would make it truly actionable—the templates are generic placeholders rather than filled examples. The skill also doesn't leverage the '40+ career episodes' mentioned in the description, missing an opportunity for progressive disclosure to richer content.
Suggestions
Add a completed example of a gap analysis showing real scope/impact/skills progression (e.g., 'PM → Senior PM: Scope went from single feature to full product area')
Include specific, concrete promotion criteria from common PM ladders rather than generic dimensions
Reference external files for the '40+ career episodes' and detailed Ami Vora strategies mentioned in the description
Replace placeholder text like '[Action to close gap]' with concrete example actions (e.g., 'Lead cross-functional initiative with 3+ teams')
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The content is reasonably efficient but includes some unnecessary structure like the 'When This Skill Activates' section that restates the description, and the frameworks could be more compact. The templates have placeholder text that adds bulk without adding value. | 2 / 3 |
Actionability | Provides templates and checklists which are somewhat actionable, but they're fill-in-the-blank frameworks rather than concrete executable guidance. The content describes what to do at a high level but lacks specific examples of completed gap analyses or real promotion criteria from actual companies. | 2 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | For a career planning skill, the workflow is clear: assess gap → close gap → demonstrate. The 90-day action plan template provides clear sequencing, and the checklist at the end provides a logical progression. No destructive operations require validation checkpoints. | 3 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | Content is reasonably organized with clear sections, but everything is in one file. Given the description mentions '40+ career episodes and Ami Vora's advancement strategies,' there should be references to detailed materials. The skill could benefit from linking to examples or deeper frameworks. | 2 / 3 |
