Quality

Content

86%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 an exemplar of lean, well-structured skill content: operational bullets, concrete field lists, an executable example, and a verified shallow script reference with no padding. The only gaps are a non-trivial evidence-retrieval example and an explicit validate-on-failure checkpoint.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

The body is lean and operational — short bullets covering rules, input fields, output shape, and one executable command with zero concept explanation (no 'what is GraphQL/CIViC' padding); every token earns its place, matching the 'lean and efficient; assumes Claude's competence' anchor.

5 / 5

Actionability

Provides a copy-paste bash command, explicit input/output field lists, and two concrete JSON query patterns — 'mostly executable guidance; concrete code or commands with minor gaps'; not a 5 because both example queries are trivial schema-introspection (`__typename`, `__schema`) rather than a real targeted evidence-retrieval example.

4 / 5

Workflow Clarity

As a simple single-task skill the invocation path is clear (stdin JSON → script → summary), and the Output section documents success vs failure; not a 5 because the failure handling is informational ('Failure returns ok=false with error.code ...') rather than an explicit validation checkpoint instructing Claude to check `ok` and surface `error.code` before summarizing.

4 / 5

Progressive Disclosure

Under 50 lines with well-organized sections (Operating rules, Execution behavior, Input, Output, Execution, References) and a single one-level-deep reference to `scripts/civic_graphql.py` that exists in the bundle, matching the simple-skill exception for a clear overview with well-signaled shallow references.

Description

71%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 clearly conveys a niche capability with concrete actions and an explicit trigger clause, but its natural-language trigger phrasing is narrow and somewhat technical, limiting trigger-term quality. Distinctiveness is strong due to the specialized CIViC domain.

Suggestions

Broaden the 'Use when...' clause with natural user phrasings, e.g. 'Use when a user wants CIViC evidence or variant interpretations, concise CIViC summaries, or to inspect the CIViC GraphQL schema.'

Add concrete trigger synonyms users would actually say — 'CIViC variant lookup', 'cancer variant evidence', 'CIViC Evidence Items' — alongside the technical terms.

Consider mentioning targeted lookups by entity (gene, variant, evidence item) so the 'what' reads as comprehensive coverage rather than only schema inspection and retrieval.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Names the domain and several concrete actions — 'Submit compact CIViC GraphQL requests', 'schema inspection', 'targeted evidence retrieval' — matching the 'lists several specific actions; minor gaps' anchor; not a 5 because coverage is not comprehensive (e.g., no mention of variant/evidence lookup by ID).

4 / 5

Completeness

Explicitly states both what ('Submit compact CIViC GraphQL requests for ... schema inspection and targeted evidence retrieval') and when ('Use when a user wants concise CIViC summaries'), satisfying the 'has both what and when' anchor; not a 5 because the 'when' is a single narrow trigger that could be more explicit and is slightly truncated.

4 / 5

Trigger Term Quality

Has relevant keywords ('CIViC', 'cancer variant') but is dominated by technical jargon ('GraphQL', 'schema inspection') and the trigger phrase 'wants concise CIViC summaries' is stilted rather than how users naturally phrase the need; missing common synonyms like 'variant lookup' or 'evidence'.

3 / 5

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

CIViC is a specific cancer-variant interpretation database, giving a clear niche with distinct triggers ('CIViC GraphQL', 'cancer variant interpretation') and minimal conflict risk with other skills.
