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 a lean, fully operational workflow with named tools, idempotency and retry rules, and explicit error-recovery guidance. Its only gaps are illustrative details (argument shapes, sample task states) that would make the guidance fully copy-paste ready.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

Every sentence is an operational instruction ("Create one UUID requestId for the intended task, then call `paperclip_create_task`. Reuse that UUID and identical arguments if the same call must be retried.") with no background on what Paperclip is or any concept Claude already knows; nothing to trim.

5 / 5

Actionability

Concrete tool calls are named (`paperclip_connection`, `paperclip_create_task`, `paperclip_read_task`) with precise behaviors (one UUID per task, identical retry arguments, no continuous polling), but there are no example arguments or sample returned task states, leaving minor gaps for an instruction-only skill.

4 / 5

Workflow Clarity

The paragraphs form a clear chronological sequence (identify connection → select agent → prepare task → create → report) with a pre-action checkpoint ("Resolve ambiguity about team, scope or assignee with the user before creating work") and error-recovery loops ("After an unknown outcome or disconnected call, inspect tasks before doing anything else"), but steps are unnumbered prose and there is no explicit verification that creation succeeded before returning the task ID.

4 / 5

Progressive Disclosure

The body is short (~13 lines), single-purpose, and self-contained with no bundle files present and no references to files that do not exist; its four focused paragraphs each map to one phase (identify, prepare, create, report), which satisfies the simple-skill exception for well-organized sections.

Description

53%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 states clearly what the skill does within a distinct niche (Paperclip delegation), but it omits any "when to use" guidance and lacks natural trigger-term variations. A single "Use when..." clause would address its main weakness.

Suggestions

Add an explicit trigger clause, e.g. "Use when the user asks to delegate, assign, or hand off work to a Paperclip agent or team."

Include natural trigger-term variations users would actually say ("delegate", "assign", "hand off", "send to my agent") to broaden keyword coverage.

Name one or two more concrete actions in the description (e.g. "creates a task with a durable ID and link, tracks progress") to strengthen specificity.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

"Delegate user-requested work to an existing Paperclip agent" names the domain and one concrete action, but the trailing qualifiers "with a durable task reference and clear execution expectations" describe attributes of the outcome rather than additional concrete actions, so coverage is not comprehensive.

3 / 5

Completeness

The "what" is clearly stated (delegate work to an existing Paperclip agent with a durable task reference), but there is no "Use when..." clause or equivalent trigger guidance anywhere in the description, which caps completeness at 3 per the judging guidelines.

3 / 5

Trigger Term Quality

"Delegate" and "Paperclip agent" are terms a user would naturally say, but common variations and synonyms ("assign work", "hand off a task", "send to my agent", "outsource") and trigger contexts are missing.

3 / 5

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

Naming the specific "Paperclip agent" system gives the skill a clear niche with minimal conflict risk, but without explicit trigger phrases it could still overlap with generic task-assignment or agent-orchestration skills.
