Quality

Content

47%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 a lean, well-organized catalogue stub, but it contains almost no executable guidance for the skill's advertised purpose — every substantive step is delegated to an upstream GitHub repository. What remains is essentially metadata plus a link, which leaves both actionability and workflow clarity weak.

Suggestions

Inline the minimal concrete steps for running a Figma Plugin API script (or bundle the upstream scripts/references into scripts/ and references/ and link them explicitly), instead of deferring everything to the GitHub URL.

Replace the non-portable `open https://...` snippet with an actually executable command (e.g. a git clone or download step with the target path in the skills directory).

Remove the verbatim duplication of the description and source URL between the frontmatter and the body to tighten the token budget further.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

The body is short and lean with clear sections, but the "What it does" section repeats the frontmatter description verbatim and the "Source" section duplicates the upstream URL already in the frontmatter, so a few tokens could be trimmed.

4 / 5

Actionability

The only command is `open https://github.com/figma/skills`, which does not advance the advertised task, and "install the upstream bundle into your active agent's skills directory" gives no path, command, or concrete steps — high-level hints with the actual executable detail missing.

2 / 5

Workflow Clarity

A rough sequence exists (inspect upstream README → install the bundle → invoke by name or trigger), but the middle step — actually running Figma Plugin API scripts — is entirely deferred to an external repo, and no validation or verification checkpoints are described.

2 / 5

Progressive Disclosure

The body is under 50 lines with no bundle files present and is organized into clear sections (What it does / Source / How to use); however, the single reference is an external URL rather than a well-signaled one-level-deep bundle file, leaving minor organization gaps.

Description

58%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 communicates a clear, specific purpose within a well-defined Figma niche, but it omits any explicit "Use when..." trigger guidance and lacks natural keyword variations. The prerequisite framing also blurs distinctiveness against sibling skills in the catalogue.

Suggestions

Add an explicit 'Use when...' clause (e.g. "Use when the user wants to run scripts against a Figma file, write to the canvas, or read/modify Figma variables") to raise completeness above the 3 cap.

Include natural synonyms and concrete trigger phrasings users would actually say ("Figma file", "Figma plugin", "update design tokens") so the description carries trigger coverage itself.

Clarify how this prerequisite skill relates to the other Figma skills at invocation time (e.g. "invoke this first when any Figma task requires API access") to reduce co-trigger ambiguity.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

The description lists several concrete action areas — "canvas writes, inspections, variables, and design-system work" — but each is a category rather than a fully specified action, so coverage has minor gaps rather than being comprehensive.

4 / 5

Completeness

There is a clear "what" ("Run Figma Plugin API scripts for canvas writes, inspections, variables, and design-system work") but no "Use when..." clause; "Prerequisite for every other Figma skill" states a relationship, not usage guidance, which caps completeness at 3 per the judging guidelines.

3 / 5

Trigger Term Quality

Domain keywords like "Figma Plugin API scripts", "canvas", and "variables" are present, but natural variations a user might say (e.g. "Figma files", "plugin development", "edit the design") are missing.

3 / 5

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

The "Figma Plugin API" niche is clearly distinct from non-Figma skills, but "Prerequisite for every other Figma skill in this catalogue" deliberately co-triggers it with sibling Figma skills, creating minor overlap risk.
