cunk-esque-mockumentary

Generate an original mockumentary presenter-satire segment, documentary narration plus an expert-interview scene, in a sincere-ignorance deadpan style. The presenter is a supremely confident, credential-free character who states garbled misunderstandings as flat fact; a genuine credentialed expert answers with strained, patient sincerity. Trigger this skill for requests to write, draft, punch up, or extend a mockumentary voiceover, deadpan documentary narration, faux-expert interview scene, satirical documentary script segment. Do NOT trigger for stand-up material, self-aware sketch comedy, roast-style insult comedy, hostile interview dialogue, straight factual documentary writing, reproduction of a real broadcaster's actual presenter, character, verbatim lines. This skill only produces new, original material based on the structural technique, not a copy of real broadcast content.

Content

92%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.

A strong, well-structured skill file: the workflow has a real validation step, every anti-pattern is taught through concrete before/after examples, and detail is properly pushed to two well-signaled reference files. The only cost is minor redundancy between the Mindset section and the anti-patterns, and slightly padded CONSEQUENCE lines.

Suggestions

Fold the Mindset section's presenter-confidence and expert-sincerity points into anti-patterns 2 and 3 (or shorten Mindset to one sentence) to remove the overlap and save tokens.

Trim or merge the CONSEQUENCE lines that restate their SYMPTOM (e.g., the delivery-escalation and gotcha-twist anti-patterns) since the WHY lines already carry the rationale.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

The body is dense with format-specific craft and assumes Claude's competence (no generic comedy-therapy explanations), but the Mindset section partially restates anti-patterns 2 and 3 ("the presenter's confidence must never waver and the expert's sincerity must never curdle into hostility"), and several CONSEQUENCE lines restate their SYMPTOM. That is minor over-explanation that could be trimmed, which is anchor 4 rather than anchor 5's every-token-earns-its-place, and clearly not anchor 3 since the padding is incidental rather than whole unnecessary explanations.

4 / 5

Actionability

For an instruction-only writing skill the guidance is fully actionable: every anti-pattern ships a concrete BAD/GOOD example pair (e.g., the MARGERY DELF castle line, the tectonic-plates expert correction), and the Technique Examples section annotates what each demonstrated line does. This matches the anchor for copy-paste-ready examples covering the common cases; anchor 4's 'minor gaps' doesn't apply because both narration and interview craft are concretely exemplified.

5 / 5

Workflow Clarity

The 7-step Workflow is clearly sequenced and closes with an explicit validation checkpoint ("Before finishing, run the anti-pattern check below: confirm the presenter never breaks deadpan, the expert never turns hostile, and nothing traces to a real performer's actual name or lines"), and the Troubleshooting section provides if-then recovery paths. This is the anchor-5 pattern of sequence plus explicit validation plus feedback loops; anchor 4 would require a missing checkpoint, which is not the case.

5 / 5

Progressive Disclosure

The SKILL.md is a well-organized overview (mindset, scope, workflow, anti-patterns, examples) with the two deep dives correctly split into real one-level-deep reference files, presented in a table with topic, link, and a specific 'When to Use' column (e.g., 'Use for a full segment with several beats; skip if only a single line or exchange is needed'). Both referenced files exist and are substantive; navigation is unambiguous, matching the anchor-5 example.

Description

100%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.

An exemplary description: it states what the skill produces in concrete terms, gives explicit positive and negative trigger guidance with natural synonyms, and cleanly separates itself from adjacent comedy and documentary formats. The only nitpick is mild redundancy between the do-not-trigger list and the closing originality sentence, which costs nothing on any dimension.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

The description lists multiple concrete actions ("Generate an original mockumentary presenter-satire segment, documentary narration plus an expert-interview scene"; "write, draft, punch up, or extend") and precisely specifies the two character roles and the style. It matches the anchor for comprehensive concrete-action coverage, and anchor 4 does not fit better since there are no minor gaps in what the skill produces or how it can be invoked.

5 / 5

Completeness

Both questions are explicitly answered: what ("Generate an original mockumentary presenter-satire segment, documentary narration plus an expert-interview scene, in a sincere-ignorance deadpan style") and when ("Trigger this skill for requests to write, draft, punch up, or extend a mockumentary voiceover...") with concrete trigger phrases and an explicit do-not-trigger list. Clearly the anchor-5 example pattern, not anchor 4 where 'when' is only loosely specified.

5 / 5

Trigger Term Quality

Natural user phrasings are covered with synonyms: "mockumentary voiceover, deadpan documentary narration, faux-expert interview scene, satirical documentary script segment" alongside action verbs users would actually say. Not anchor 4, because no common natural variant of the request is missing.

5 / 5

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

The niche is distinct (deadpan mockumentary satire) and the description actively disambiguates against neighbors: "Do NOT trigger for stand-up material, self-aware sketch comedy, roast-style insult comedy, hostile interview dialogue, straight factual documentary writing." Minimal conflict risk; anchor 4's 'minor overlap risk' does not apply because the boundaries are explicitly drawn.
