Content

100%

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 tight, well-organized operational spec: lean sections, an executable example, exact input/output field lists, and a real referenced script. It scores the maximum on every dimension and appropriately needs no external reference files.

Dimension	Reasoning	Score
Conciseness	The ~40-line body is lean and operational — operating rules, input/output field specs, and a runnable example — with no padding explaining concepts Claude already knows (the '...' truncation note is operational guidance, not tutorial prose). Every token earns its place.	3 / 3
Actionability	It provides a copy-paste-ready executable command ('echo '{"action":"search","terms":"VCV000013080","max_items":10}' \| python scripts/clinvar_variation.py') plus exact required/optional input fields and output shapes. This matches the fully-executable, copy-paste-ready anchor.	3 / 3
Workflow Clarity	Per the rubric's simple-skills note, a single-task sub-50-line skill scores 3 when its action is unambiguous; here running the script with an 'action' is unambiguous and read-only (no destructive/batch ops), so the feedback-loop cap does not apply.	3 / 3
Progressive Disclosure	Per the simple-skills note, a sub-50-line skill needing no external references scores 3 with well-organized sections; sections are clear and the one referenced path ('scripts/clinvar_variation.py') is a real, present file with no nested or missing references.	3 / 3
	Total	12 / 12 Passed

Description

100%

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 strong: third-person voice, specific multi-action capability list, natural domain trigger terms, an explicit 'Use when…' clause, and a distinct niche unlikely to conflict with other skills. It scores the maximum on every dimension.

Dimension	Reasoning	Score
Specificity	The description lists multiple specific concrete actions — 'Submit compact ClinVar Clinical Tables and NCBI Variation requests for search, VCV, RCV, SCV, and RefSNP lookups' enumerates five distinct lookup types. It is not a 2 because the action coverage is comprehensive rather than partial.	3 / 3
Completeness	It states what the skill does (submit requests for the listed lookups) and when via an explicit 'Use when a user wants variant-level summaries or identifier mapping' trigger clause. The explicit 'Use when…' clause satisfies the score-3 anchor and is not capped at 2.	3 / 3
Trigger Term Quality	Natural domain terms a variant user would actually say are well covered: 'ClinVar', 'NCBI Variation', 'VCV, RCV, SCV', 'RefSNP', 'variant-level summaries', and 'identifier mapping'. These are the real-world identifiers and phrasings users invoke, matching the score-3 anchor.	3 / 3
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk	It occupies a clear ClinVar/NCBI Variation niche with distinct identifier triggers (VCV/RCV/SCV/RefSNP), making it unlikely to fire for unrelated skills. This matches the 'clear niche with distinct triggers' anchor.	3 / 3
	Total	12 / 12 Passed
