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 description with explicit trigger guidance and good distinctiveness through named frameworks. The main weakness is that the specific actions could be more concrete - it tells us the methodologies but not the specific deliverables or structural elements it produces. The trigger terms are natural and the 'Use when' clause is comprehensive.
Suggestions
Add more concrete actions describing what the skill produces, e.g., 'structures pitch decks with 5-part narrative arcs, creates before/after story frameworks, develops protagonist-journey slides'.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Specificity | Names the domain (product narratives) and references specific frameworks (Andy Raskin's, Nancy Duarte's), but the actions are somewhat vague - 'crafts', 'writing', 'creating', 'framing', 'building' are general verbs without concrete deliverables like 'structures pitch decks with 5-part narrative arc'. | 2 / 3 |
Completeness | Clearly answers both what (crafts product narratives using specific frameworks) and when (explicit 'Use when...' clause with multiple trigger scenarios: pitches, presentations, framing features, building narratives). | 3 / 3 |
Trigger Term Quality | Good coverage of natural terms users would say: 'pitches', 'presentations', 'features as stories', 'product narratives'. These are terms users naturally use when seeking help with storytelling for products. | 3 / 3 |
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk | Clear niche combining product storytelling with specific named frameworks (Raskin, Duarte). The combination of 'product narratives' + named methodologies creates a distinct identity unlikely to conflict with generic presentation or writing skills. | 3 / 3 |

Implementation
87%Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.
This is a well-crafted skill that efficiently presents the Andy Raskin strategic narrative framework with actionable templates. The content is appropriately concise, assumes Claude's competence, and provides immediately usable structures. The main gap is the lack of validation guidance for assessing narrative quality or iterating on drafts.
Suggestions
Add a brief validation checklist or quality criteria (e.g., 'Test: Can you state the insight in one sentence? Does the old world create genuine tension?') to help verify narrative effectiveness
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The skill is lean and efficient, presenting frameworks and templates without explaining basic concepts Claude already knows. Every section serves a clear purpose with no padding or unnecessary context. | 3 / 3 |
Actionability | Provides concrete, copy-paste ready templates with specific structure (five-act framework, product pitch template) and clear examples. The markdown templates are immediately usable. | 3 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | The five-act structure is clearly sequenced, but there's no validation or feedback mechanism. For narrative creation, there's no guidance on how to verify the narrative is effective or iterate on weak sections. | 2 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | For a skill of this size (~80 lines), the content is well-organized with clear sections (Core Frameworks, Action Templates, Quick Reference, Key Quotes). No external references needed for this scope. | 3 / 3 |
