Quality

Content

72%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.

A well-structured, mostly executable workflow that uses progressive disclosure effectively. Its main weakness is workflow validation: the destructive table-creation path lacks an explicit post-creation verification and retry loop.

Suggestions

Add an explicit verification step after Step 4 (e.g., re-query EntityDefinitions to confirm each table was created with the expected schema) before proceeding to Step 5.

Turn Step 7's build check into a feedback loop: 'If TypeScript errors occur, fix and re-run npm run build until it passes; only then proceed.'

Add a brief post-Step-5 sanity check confirming the generated model/service files exist and export the expected service before showing the usage example.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

The body is largely lean — concrete commands and code with little concept explanation — but a few lines like 'Can add multiple tables by running the command for each one' could be trimmed.

4 / 5

Actionability

Provides executable PowerShell, bash (`pa app add data-source`), and TypeScript snippets, though it leans on reference files ('See ... for full details') for some specifics rather than being fully copy-paste complete.

4 / 5

Workflow Clarity

The 7-step sequence is clear with several checkpoints (plan approval, explicit confirmation, query-first), but the destructive table-creation step lacks an explicit verify→fix→retry feedback loop, capping it per the batch/destructive guideline.

3 / 5

Progressive Disclosure

SKILL.md is a concise overview with four well-signaled, one-level-deep references (all real files) each annotated with its scope, giving easy navigation.

Description

87%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.

A strong, third-person description that clearly states capabilities and triggers with minimal fluff. It is comprehensive on what/when and distinct in niche, with only slight room to broaden trigger synonyms.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Lists several concrete actions — 'Adds Dataverse tables to a Power Apps code app with generated TypeScript models and services' and 'Can also create new Dataverse tables' — with only minor coverage gaps (e.g., querying is named only in the trigger clause).

4 / 5

Completeness

Explicitly answers both what ('Adds Dataverse tables ... with generated TypeScript models and services') and when ('Use when connecting to Dataverse, adding tables, creating schema, or querying Dataverse data') with concrete trigger phrases.

5 / 5

Trigger Term Quality

Natural trigger phrases 'connecting to Dataverse, adding tables, creating schema, or querying Dataverse data' map well to user language, though a few obvious variants (e.g., 'Power Apps', 'entities') are absent.

4 / 5

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

The 'Dataverse tables' / 'Power Apps code app' niche is tightly scoped with distinct triggers, making conflict with unrelated skills unlikely.
