Quality

Content

100%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.

An exemplary lean skill body for a simple read-only API task: fully executable examples, explicit input/output contracts, and disciplined section structure with no token waste. No changes needed.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

Every line is operational (trailing-slash rule, targeted-lookup-first rule, field lists, concrete JSON patterns) with zero padding or explanation of concepts Claude already knows.

5 / 5

Actionability

The Execution section is a copy-paste-ready bash command and the Input section provides four concrete JSON payloads covering the common cases (entry lookup, keyword search, bare record, xrefs).

5 / 5

Workflow Clarity

This is a simple single-action skill (pipe JSON into scripts/rest_request.py) with an unambiguous execution command and documented failure behavior (ok=false with error.code/error.message); read-only, so no validation checkpoint is required.

5 / 5

Progressive Disclosure

The body is under 50 lines, cleanly sectioned, requires no external reference files, and its single referenced bundle file (scripts/rest_request.py) exists with a matching path.

Description

78%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.

A strong, third-person description with concrete actions and an explicit Use-when clause. Its main weaknesses are a slightly narrow trigger clause relative to the advertised capabilities and missing natural synonyms (RNA sequence, ncRNA, URS).

Suggestions

Broaden the when-clause to cover the lookup and cross-reference use cases, e.g. "Use when a user wants concise RNAcentral summaries, looks up a specific RNA entry by URS/taxid, or asks for cross-references."

Mention the text-search capability (e.g. "search RNA entries by keyword") in the what-clause since it is a documented common pattern in the body.

Add one or two natural synonyms such as "RNA sequence" or "ncRNA" to improve trigger term coverage.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

The description names the domain and three concrete actions ("RNA entry browsing, single-entry lookup, and cross-reference retrieval"), but omits the text-search capability (q-param searches) documented in the body, leaving minor gaps in coverage.

4 / 5

Completeness

Both what ("Submit compact RNAcentral API requests for...") and when ("Use when a user wants concise RNAcentral summaries") are present, but the when-clause covers only the summary use case and doesn't explicitly trigger on the lookup or cross-reference use cases it advertises.

4 / 5

Trigger Term Quality

Natural terms like "RNAcentral", "RNA entry", "summaries", and "cross-reference" are present, but common variations users might say ("RNA sequence", "ncRNA", "URS") are missing.

4 / 5

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

"RNAcentral" is a highly specific niche with distinct triggers; no realistic overlap with other skills.
