Quality

Content

82%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 is an efficient, highly actionable workflow with concrete commands, a clear delegation table, and well-signaled shared references. It lacks an explicit post-add verification feedback loop, which is the main gap.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

The body is lean, assumes competence, and skips basic concept explanations; only minor redundancy (the dedicated-skill list and the API-name list overlap slightly) keeps it from a 5.

4 / 5

Actionability

Provides copy-paste-ready `pa app add data-source` commands with full flag explanations covering both tabular and non-tabular cases, plus concrete Grep patterns and a build command, matching 'fully executable; copy-paste ready'.

5 / 5

Workflow Clarity

A clear 6-step sequence with a build checkpoint ('Fix TypeScript errors before proceeding. Do NOT deploy yet.') is present, but there is no explicit verify-connection or re-validate feedback loop, fitting anchor 4 rather than 5.

4 / 5

Progressive Disclosure

Content is well-organized into labeled steps with clearly signaled one-level-deep references to shared files ([shared-instructions.md], [connector-reference.md]); no local bundle files exist to verify, and the inline delegation table is appropriately placed, so anchor 4 fits with minor organization gaps.

Description

62%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 clearly states what the skill does and gives explicit fallback-trigger guidance, with a well-defined niche that defers to dedicated skills. It is held back by a single concrete action and a lack of trigger-term synonyms or variations.

Suggestions

Add a 'Use when ...' clause with natural user phrases (e.g., 'Use when adding a connector to a Power Apps code app that has no dedicated skill').

List 1-2 more concrete actions (e.g., 'configures generated service methods and operations') to raise specificity.

Include common synonyms/variations such as 'Power Apps canvas/code app', 'data source', or specific connector families users would name.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Names the domain ('Power Platform connector', 'Power Apps code app') and one concrete action ('Adds any ... connector'), but lists no further specific actions, matching the 'names domain and 1-2 concrete actions, not comprehensive' anchor.

3 / 5

Completeness

Explicit 'what' (adds connectors to a code app) and an equivalent explicit trigger clause ('Generic fallback for connectors not covered by a specific skill') are both present, though the 'when' could be more specific, matching anchor 4 rather than 5.

4 / 5

Trigger Term Quality

Includes relevant natural terms ('connector', 'Power Apps', 'Power Platform') but offers no synonyms or variations a user might say, fitting 'some relevant keywords but missing common variations'.

3 / 5

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

The explicit 'Generic fallback ... not covered by a specific skill' carve-out gives a clear niche and minimal conflict risk, but it still overlaps conceptually with the dedicated /add-* family, so anchor 4 fits better than 5.
