Conciseness

The ~25-line body is lean with no explanation of concepts Claude already knows, but "Do not rely on this skill for guidance — always read the bundled docs" plus "Before writing any eve code, read the relevant guide there first" repeats the read-the-docs instruction three times. Minor trimming possible, so it sits at 4 rather than 5.

Actionability

Concrete, copy-paste-ready commands and paths are given ("node_modules/eve/docs/README.md", "npm install eve", "npx eve init <agent-name>") covering both the installed and not-installed cases. It stays at 4 because every substantive eve workflow detail is delegated to the external docs rather than shown, leaving a minor gap on common cases.

Workflow Clarity

This is a simple single-purpose skill (under 50 lines) whose single action — read the bundled docs starting at the README — is unambiguous, including a conditional fallback for when eve is not installed. No destructive or batch operations exist, so the validation cap does not apply and the simple-skill exception earns a 5.

Progressive Disclosure

The skill is a clear, well-organized overview whose only reference (node_modules/eve/docs/, entered via README.md's index) is one level deep and clearly signaled. Under the under-50-line exception with no inlined content that belongs in separate files, this matches the 5 anchor.

Specificity

"Build durable backend AI agents with the eve framework" names the domain, and "creating, editing, or debugging" plus the enumerated artifacts (instructions, skills, tools, connections, channels, sandboxes, subagents, schedules, evals) give several concrete hooks. Falls short of 5 because the verbs are generic (build/edit/debug) rather than framework-specific actions like scaffolding, compiling, or running evals.

Completeness

Explicitly answers what ("Build durable backend AI agents with the eve framework") and when ("Use when creating, editing, or debugging an eve project — agent instructions, skills, tools, connections, channels, sandboxes, subagents, schedules, or evals") with concrete trigger phrases, matching the 5 anchor exactly.

Trigger Term Quality

"eve", "eve project", and the component terms (agent, skills, tools, channels, schedules, evals) are natural terms a user of the framework would say. Not 5 because natural variations like "eve agent", "durable agent", or package-manager phrasings are missing; not 3 because the distinctive domain term appears in both the what and when clauses.

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

The named framework "eve" and the trigger qualifier "an eve project" carve out a clear niche with minimal conflict risk, matching the 5 anchor. The only theoretical overlap (generic backend-agent requests) is excluded by the eve-specific trigger clause, so it does not drop to 4.
