Quality

Content

93%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 content is lean, fully actionable, and well-structured for a simple single-purpose skill, with copy-paste-ready MCP and CLI examples and a clear edge-case path. The only mild gap is the absence of a stronger validation/retry loop, which is acceptable given the read-only nature of the task.

Dimension	Reasoning	Score
Conciseness	The body is lean throughout: a one-line purpose, six terse numbered steps, and two minimal executable snippets, with no padding or explanation of concepts Claude already knows, matching the score-5 anchor.	5 / 5
Actionability	It provides two copy-paste-ready examples (the ctx_search JS call and the CLI fallback) with realistic arguments plus concrete query-shaping guidance, covering the common cases at the score-5 level.	5 / 5
Workflow Clarity	The six-step sequence is clear with an explicit empty-index recovery checkpoint (step 6), but it is a simple read-only flow without a true validate-fix-retry loop, fitting the score-4 anchor rather than 5.	4 / 5
Progressive Disclosure	The skill is under 50 lines with no external references needed and is well-organized into labeled sections with code blocks, which the scoring notes allow to score 5 for simple single-purpose skills.	5 / 5

Description

53%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 is specific and distinctive, clearly scoping the skill to context-mode's indexed FTS5 knowledge base. Its main weakness is the absence of an explicit "Use when..." clause, leaving the trigger context only weakly implied.

Suggestions

Add an explicit "Use when..." clause naming concrete scenarios (e.g., recalling indexed project content or prior session memory without rereading sources).

Include a few natural-language synonyms users would actually say (e.g., "find indexed docs", "recall session memory") alongside the technical trigger.

Spell out additional concrete actions if supported (e.g., filtering by source, limiting results) to lift specificity toward comprehensive coverage.

Dimension	Reasoning	Score
Specificity	"Search ... FTS5 knowledge base for previously indexed local project content, documentation, or session memory" names the domain and one concrete action with its target types, matching the score-3 anchor rather than the multi-action coverage of 4-5.	3 / 5
Completeness	The "what" is clear (search the indexed FTS5 KB), but "when" is only weakly implied by a bare "Trigger:" line with no "Use when..." scenario clause; the judging guidelines cap this at 3.	3 / 5
Trigger Term Quality	It includes relevant keywords ("Search", "indexed content", "documentation", "session memory") plus the literal trigger "/context-mode:ctx-search", but misses common natural-language synonyms users would say, fitting the score-3 anchor.	3 / 5
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk	"context-mode's persistent FTS5 knowledge base" with the distinct "/context-mode:ctx-search" trigger carves a clear niche with only minor overlap risk against other search skills, fitting between anchors 3 and 5 but closer to 4.	4 / 5
