Quality

Content

85%Weight 40%Scale 1-3

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

The body delivers concrete, actionable n8n docs-lookup guidance with a clear sequenced workflow and failure path, organized into clean sections. Its only weakness is mild redundancy between the frontmatter description and the opening paragraph.

Suggestions

Remove the opening paragraph that restates the description's trigger sentence; the frontmatter already conveys when to use the skill.

Consolidate the repeated load_tool instruction, which appears in both the intro and step 1, into a single mention to avoid duplication.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

The body is mostly lean and instructional, but the opening paragraph restates the frontmatter description's trigger sentence and the load_tool instruction appears in both the intro and step 1, which could be tightened.

2 / 3

Actionability

Guidance is concrete and specific for an instruction-only skill: call `n8n-docs(action="lookup")`, pass named fields like `credentialType` and `documentationUrl`, and end with a `Source:` citation format.

3 / 3

Workflow Clarity

The four-step Default Procedure is clearly sequenced with a read-before-answering checkpoint, and the Missing Docs section provides an explicit failure-recovery path; no destructive or batch operations require further validation.

3 / 3

Progressive Disclosure

The skill is under 50 lines with no external references needed and is organized into well-signaled sections (Default Procedure, Credential Setup, Missing Docs), meeting the simple-skill criterion for the top score.

Description

100%Weight 40%Scale 1-3

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 concise, third-person, and answers both what the skill does and when to use it with natural trigger terms and a clearly distinct n8n-specific niche. It matches the strongest anchor on every dimension.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

"Answers n8n product, setup, credential, node, hosting, API, and usage questions" lists multiple specific concrete actions across the n8n domain, matching the top anchor rather than the partial level 2.

3 / 3

Completeness

It explicitly states what the skill does ("Answers n8n ... questions from current n8n docs") and when to use it via an explicit "Use when ..." clause, satisfying both halves of the top anchor.

3 / 3

Trigger Term Quality

"Use when the user asks how to configure, set up, troubleshoot, or understand n8n behavior, especially credential setup questions opened from the credential modal" covers natural phrases users would actually say.

3 / 3

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

The niche is tightly scoped to n8n docs lookup, with distinctive triggers tied to the credential modal, making overlap with unrelated skills unlikely.
