short

Manually-invoked skill that forces the agent to compress its current answer — strip filler, simplify wording, and cut length while keeping the substance. Use when the user says "short", "shorter", "simpler", "too long", "tl;dr", or wants a more concise version of the previous response.

Quality

Content

100%

Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.

An appropriately minimal body for a trivial single-purpose skill: lean, unambiguous, and correctly free of unnecessary references or padding. It fully matches the simple-skills guidance in the rubric.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

The single-line body — "rewrite your last response to be simpler & shorter. do not do anything else." — is maximally lean; every token earns its place and it assumes Claude's competence.

3 / 3

Actionability

Gives a concrete, unambiguous directive with an explicit constraint ("do not do anything else"); as an instruction-only single-task skill, the absence of code is not penalized because the guidance is actionable.

3 / 3

Workflow Clarity

Per the simple-skills note, a single-task skill scores 3 when the action is unambiguous; here the single action is clearly and explicitly stated with no multi-step process needed.

3 / 3

Progressive Disclosure

Under 50 lines with no need for external references, so well-organized (here, single-purpose) content with no nested references earns the top score; no bundle files are present or needed.

Description

100%

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 concise, well-constructed description in third person that states concrete actions, supplies natural trigger terms, and explicitly covers both capability and invocation conditions. It is distinct and unlikely to conflict given manual invocation.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Lists multiple concrete actions — "strip filler, simplify wording, and cut length while keeping the substance" — describing exactly what the skill does rather than vague language.

3 / 3

Completeness

Explicitly answers both what ("compress its current answer") and when via a clear "Use when the user says..." clause with explicit triggers.

3 / 3

Trigger Term Quality

Covers the natural terms a user would actually say — "short", "shorter", "simpler", "too long", "tl;dr", and "more concise version" — with good variation coverage.

3 / 3

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

Occupies a clear niche (compressing the prior response) with distinct triggers, and is manually invoked (disable-model-invocation), making wrong-skill conflicts unlikely.
