Quality

Content

85%

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

The body is concise, well-structured, and presents a clear workflow with a validation checkpoint and error-recovery loop. Its main weakness is actionability: it describes the form mechanism but never shows a concrete template the agent can copy.

Suggestions

Include a concrete `<question-form>` / `direction-cards` markup example so the guidance is copy-paste ready.

Show one sample direction card with an id, label, and short description to make the output format unambiguous.

Optionally add a one-line 'Completion' checklist restating the direction-id condition as an explicit verification step.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

The body is lean (~25 lines), assumes Claude's competence, and avoids explaining known concepts; even the opening rationale is a single tight sentence, matching the anchor-3 "lean and efficient; every token earns its place."

3 / 3

Actionability

Guidance is specific (3-5 directions, visual/structural/tonal, an inline `<question-form>` with a `direction-cards` question) but no actual form template or markup example is shown, so it is not copy-paste ready per the anchor-2 "some concrete guidance but incomplete."

2 / 3

Workflow Clarity

The sequence (draft -> emit form -> user picks -> lock onto choice) is explicit, with a completion checkpoint (form answer contains a direction id) and a feedback loop (backtracking forces a fresh iteration), matching the anchor-3 "clear sequence with explicit validation steps; feedback loops for error recovery."

3 / 3

Progressive Disclosure

This is a short single-purpose skill under 50 lines with no external references, and it is organized into clear sections (Convergence, Anti-patterns), so per the rubric's simple-skills note it earns a 3 on well-organized sections alone.

Description

50%

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 third-person but middling across all dimensions because it lacks an explicit use-trigger clause and natural keyword coverage. It clearly states the what but leaves the when only implied.

Suggestions

Add a 'Use when...' clause naming natural user phrasings (e.g., 'Use when the user wants options or directions to choose from before generating output').

List a few concrete actions (draft, present as cards, return the chosen direction) to lift specificity toward the anchor-3 example.

Broaden trigger terms with everyday language like 'options', 'pick a direction', or 'choose an approach'.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

The phrase "3-5 direction picker that lets the user choose before final generation" names the domain and a core action, but describes a single action rather than listing multiple concrete capabilities, so it stops short of the anchor-3 example.

2 / 3

Completeness

It states what the skill does but provides no explicit "Use when..." trigger guidance, and the rubric caps completeness at 2 when that clause is absent.

2 / 3

Trigger Term Quality

Terms like "direction picker", "choose", and "generation" are relevant but limited; common user phrasings such as "give me options" or "let me pick a direction" are missing, matching the anchor-2 "some relevant keywords but missing common variations."

2 / 3

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

"3-5 direction picker" carves out a niche but could still overlap with general option-generation or brainstorming skills, fitting the anchor-2 "somewhat specific but could still overlap."
