Quality

Content

100%

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

This is a well-crafted, concise skill that provides clear, actionable instructions for upgrading context-mode. It efficiently covers the happy path (MCP tool call), output formatting with a concrete example, and a fallback path with executable code. The only minor note is that the fallback path derivation could be slightly clearer, but it's adequate for Claude's capabilities.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

The skill is lean and efficient. It assumes Claude knows how to execute shell commands and call MCP tools. Every line serves a purpose with no unnecessary explanation of concepts.

3 / 3

Actionability

Provides concrete, executable steps: call a specific MCP tool, run the returned command, display results in a specific format, and includes a concrete fallback command with actual code. The output format example is copy-paste ready.

3 / 3

Workflow Clarity

Steps are clearly sequenced (call tool → run command → display results → tell user to restart) with a fallback path for error recovery. The checklist output format serves as implicit validation (showing pass/fail status). For this simple upgrade task, the workflow is complete and unambiguous.

3 / 3

Progressive Disclosure

For a simple, single-purpose skill under 50 lines with no need for external references, the content is well-organized with clear sections (Instructions with numbered steps, fallback clearly delineated). No bundle files are needed for this straightforward task.

Description

67%

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 reasonably specific about what actions the skill performs and is highly distinctive due to its niche focus on upgrading a specific tool. However, it lacks an explicit 'Use when...' clause and could benefit from more natural language trigger terms beyond the slash command.

Suggestions

Add an explicit 'Use when...' clause, e.g., 'Use when the user wants to update, upgrade, or reinstall context-mode from its GitHub repository.'

Include natural language trigger variations such as 'update context-mode', 'reinstall context-mode', 'upgrade hooks', 'fix context-mode settings' to improve discoverability beyond the slash command.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Lists multiple specific concrete actions: pulls latest, builds, installs, updates npm global, configures hooks. Also mentions updating from GitHub and fixing hooks/settings.

3 / 3

Completeness

The 'what' is well-covered (pulls, builds, installs, configures hooks), but the 'when' is only implied through the slash command trigger rather than explicitly stated with a 'Use when...' clause describing scenarios.

2 / 3

Trigger Term Quality

Includes some relevant terms like 'upgrade', 'GitHub', 'hooks', 'npm global', and the explicit slash command trigger '/context-mode:ctx-upgrade', but lacks natural language variations a user might say (e.g., 'update context mode', 'reinstall', 'refresh hooks').

2 / 3

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

Very specific to a particular tool ('context-mode') with a unique slash command trigger, making it highly unlikely to conflict with other skills.
