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 well-structured skill description with strong completeness and distinctiveness. It effectively uses an explicit 'Use when' clause with natural trigger terms. The main weakness is that the capability description could be more specific about concrete actions rather than general verbs like 'manages' and 'navigating'.
Suggestions
Replace 'Manages stakeholder relationships' with more specific actions like 'Drafts feedback scripts, analyzes conversation dynamics, and develops trust-building strategies'
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Specificity | Names the domain (stakeholder relationships) and references specific frameworks (Radical Candor, interpersonal dynamics), but actions like 'manages' and 'navigating' are somewhat vague rather than listing concrete specific actions like 'draft feedback scripts' or 'analyze conversation dynamics'. | 2 / 3 |
Completeness | Clearly answers both what (manages stakeholder relationships using specific frameworks) and when (explicit 'Use when' clause with three distinct trigger scenarios: giving/receiving feedback, navigating difficult conversations, building trust across teams). | 3 / 3 |
Trigger Term Quality | Includes natural keywords users would say: 'feedback', 'difficult conversations', 'building trust', 'giving/receiving feedback'. These are terms people naturally use when seeking help with interpersonal workplace challenges. | 3 / 3 |
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk | Clear niche combining stakeholder management with specific named frameworks (Radical Candor, Carole Robin). The combination of interpersonal dynamics focus and named methodologies creates a distinct trigger profile unlikely to conflict with generic communication or management skills. | 3 / 3 |

Implementation
57%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 framework for stakeholder communication with useful templates and checklists. However, it leans toward explaining concepts (Radical Candor quadrants, SBI model) rather than providing maximally actionable guidance. The templates use placeholders where concrete examples would be more valuable, and the skill lacks feedback loops for handling conversation failures.
Suggestions
Replace placeholder text in templates (e.g., '[how to respond]') with concrete example phrases Claude can adapt, such as 'If defensive: "I hear that you see it differently. Can you help me understand your perspective?"'
Remove or condense the 'When This Skill Activates' section - this context is already provided in the skill description and Claude can infer appropriate usage
Add a brief recovery workflow: what to do if the conversation escalates, how to pause and reset, when to involve a third party
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The content is reasonably efficient but includes some unnecessary elements like the 'When This Skill Activates' section (Claude knows when to use skills from context) and the quotes section which adds little actionable value. | 2 / 3 |
Actionability | Provides structured templates and checklists which are helpful, but the guidance remains somewhat abstract. The SBI example is good, but the 'Response Preparation' section uses placeholders rather than concrete examples of what to actually say. | 2 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | The templates provide structure and the checklists sequence steps, but there are no validation checkpoints or feedback loops for what to do if the conversation goes poorly. The 'Response Preparation' section hints at contingencies but doesn't provide concrete recovery paths. | 2 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | For a skill of this size (~80 lines), the content is well-organized with clear sections, headers, and logical flow from frameworks to templates to quick reference. No external references needed for this scope. | 3 / 3 |
