Quality

Content

100%Weight 40%Scale 1-3

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

A compact, well-structured skill body with executable examples, a clear single-action workflow, and clean separation of the script bundle. It assumes Claude's competence and avoids unnecessary explanation.

Dimension	Reasoning	Score
Conciseness	The body is lean and assumes Claude's competence, listing only operating rules, I/O contract, and a copy-paste command with no padding or explanation of concepts Claude already knows.	3 / 3
Actionability	It provides concrete executable guidance: a runnable bash command, exact base_url, and ready-to-use JSON stdin examples with real endpoints and parameter values.	3 / 3
Workflow Clarity	For this single-task skill the action is unambiguous (build the JSON, pipe to scripts/rest_request.py) and the operating rules sequence the preferred targeted-first lookup path with redirect/time-out avoidance.	3 / 3
Progressive Disclosure	The under-50-line body is well-organized into clear sections (rules, behavior, input, output, execution) and correctly keeps the implementation in scripts/rest_request.py with no nested or multi-level references.	3 / 3
	Total	12 / 12 Passed

Description

77%Weight 40%Scale 1-3

Based on the skill's description, can an agent find and select it at the right time? Clear, specific descriptions lead to better discovery.

A concise, third-person description that clearly defines capabilities and an explicit use-when trigger, with a well-scoped niche. Trigger terms lean on the API name rather than natural user phrasing.

Dimension	Reasoning	Score
Specificity	Lists multiple concrete actions: 'RNA entry browsing, single-entry lookup, and cross-reference retrieval', matching the anchor that names several specific capabilities.	3 / 3
Completeness	It states what the skill does ('Submit compact RNAcentral API requests for...') and when to use it ('Use when a user wants concise RNAcentral summaries'), satisfying both what and when with an explicit trigger.	3 / 3
Trigger Term Quality	It includes 'RNAcentral summaries' and 'lookup' but is anchored on the API name more than natural user phrasing; common variations a user might say (e.g. 'RNA database', 'RNA accession') are missing.	2 / 3
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk	The RNAcentral-specific scope with concrete entry/xref endpoints forms a clear niche unlikely to collide with other skills.	3 / 3
	Total	11 / 12 Passed
