add-setting

Use when adding a new cmake.* configuration setting. Touches package.json (contributes.configuration), package.nls.json, src/config.ts (interface + getter), docs/cmake-settings.md, and CHANGELOG.md. Triggers: "add setting", "new setting", "add configuration".

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.

A tight, actionable recipe with executable examples for each file and a verification checklist. Tightening the redundant table-column explanation and making the compile-failure feedback loop explicit would push it to full marks.

Suggestions

Remove or fold the "Table columns" table in Step 4 into the example row, since the example already demonstrates each column.

Make the validation feedback loop explicit in the checklist, e.g. "If yarn compile fails, fix the error and re-run until it succeeds".

Consider moving the "Real example" block and detailed Rules into a reference file to better demonstrate progressive disclosure for this ~150-line skill.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

Lean and efficient with no re-explanation of basic concepts; assumes Claude's competence. The "Table columns" sub-section in Step 4 restates what the example row already shows and could be trimmed.

4 / 5

Actionability

Copy-paste-ready code blocks for every touched file, a real worked example (cmake.saveBeforeBuild), and a concrete compile command (yarn compile) in the checklist.

5 / 5

Workflow Clarity

A clearly sequenced five-step process capped by a verification checklist. Feedback loops are implicit ("yarn compile succeeds" is checked) rather than an explicit fix-and-retry cycle, keeping it just below a 5.

4 / 5

Progressive Disclosure

Well-organized into labeled steps with a single one-level "See also" link and no nested references; no bundle files exist to split. Good structure with minor organization gaps rather than the idealized reference-split pattern.

Description

92%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, specific description that names concrete files and actions and gives explicit natural-language triggers. Only minor room to broaden trigger-term synonyms.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Names the domain (adding a cmake.* setting) and lists multiple concrete actions across five specific files (package.json contributes.configuration, package.nls.json, src/config.ts interface+getter, docs/cmake-settings.md, CHANGELOG.md), giving comprehensive coverage.

5 / 5

Completeness

Explicitly answers both what ("Touches package.json... src/config.ts... docs... CHANGELOG.md") and when ("Use when adding a new cmake.* configuration setting" plus concrete Triggers), matching the anchor for clear what-and-when with trigger phrases.

5 / 5

Trigger Term Quality

Provides natural triggers a user would say ("add setting", "new setting", "add configuration"), but coverage is a bit narrow with a few common synonyms (e.g. "add config option", "register setting") missing.

4 / 5

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

Occupies a clear niche (cmake.* settings in CMake Tools) with distinct, domain-specific triggers and minimal overlap risk with other skills.
