planning

ONLY for coordinated multi-artifact work: multiple workflows with dependencies, shared data-table schema/migration across tasks, or the user explicitly asked to review a plan first. Load create-tasks via load_tool before calling it (search "create tasks" if not visible). Do NOT use for new one-off workflows, single-workflow edits, verification-only requests, or standalone data-table ops — use workflow-builder or data-table-manager instead.

Quality

Content

75%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 body is well-structured, actionable, and sequenced with concrete orchestrator-specific conventions and a revision feedback loop. It lands at 4 across all dimensions due to minor verbosity, the absence of a worked example, no in-flow validation checkpoint, and limited file-splitting.

Suggestions

Add one concise worked example of a filled-in build-workflow task spec (with the Outcome/Done-when labels populated) to lift actionability toward 5.

Trim the longest bullets in 'Assumptions And Questions' by merging near-duplicate credential rules, improving conciseness.

Consider moving the detailed 'Task Graph Rules' label-by-label spec into a separate reference file and keeping a brief summary inline, improving progressive disclosure.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

The body is efficient and assumes Claude's competence — it never explains basic concepts — but sections like 'Assumptions And Questions' and 'Task Graph Rules' have a few rules that could be tightened, matching the 'efficient; minor instances of over-explanation' anchor.

4 / 5

Actionability

Gives concrete executable guidance — exact tool calls ('load_tool', 'create-tasks'), exact parameter values ('planningContext.source: "planning-skill"', 'postBuildRunRequested: true'), and an ordered spec-label schema — but lacks a fully worked task-graph example, so it sits at 4 rather than 5.

4 / 5

Workflow Clarity

The 8-step Method is a clear sequence with a plan-worthiness gate (step 1) and a rejection feedback loop in 'Revisions' ('revise surgically ... call create-tasks again'), but there is no explicit validate-then-retry checkpoint inside the core flow, matching the 'clear sequence with most checkpoints' anchor.

4 / 5

Progressive Disclosure

Well-organized into clearly headed sections with a well-signaled one-level-deep external reference (the Knowledge Base paths); no bundle files exist to split further, but the body is long enough that a couple of detailed rule sections could plausibly live in a reference file, so it is 4 rather than 5.

Description

87%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 tightly scoped, action-oriented, and explicitly disambiguates against sibling skills, answering both what and when with concrete triggers. Minor keyword/specificity gaps keep two dimensions at 4 rather than 5.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Names several concrete actions — 'Load create-tasks via load_tool before calling it', 'coordinated multi-artifact work', 'shared data-table schema/migration across tasks' — with only minor coverage gaps, matching the 'lists several specific actions' anchor rather than the fully comprehensive 5.

4 / 5

Completeness

Explicitly answers both what (coordinated multi-artifact task graph via create-tasks) and when ('ONLY for ... or the user explicitly asked to review a plan first' plus a 'Do NOT use for ...' boundary), with concrete trigger phrases matching the top anchor.

5 / 5

Trigger Term Quality

Strong natural phrasing users would say — 'review a plan first', 'multiple workflows with dependencies', 'new one-off workflows', 'single-workflow edits', 'verification-only requests' — with good synonym coverage; a few common phrasings are absent so it sits at 4 rather than 5.

4 / 5

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

It carves a clear niche (coordinated multi-artifact planning) and explicitly names the competing skills to use instead ('use workflow-builder or data-table-manager instead'), giving minimal conflict risk per the top anchor.
