Discovery
32%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 identifies a clear niche (executive-level resumes) but is too terse to be effective for skill selection. It lacks a 'Use when...' clause, misses common trigger term variations, and doesn't enumerate the specific actions or deliverables the skill provides beyond basic creation.
Suggestions
Add an explicit 'Use when...' clause, e.g., 'Use when the user asks for help writing or updating a resume for executive, C-suite, VP, or senior leadership roles.'
Expand trigger terms to include common variations like 'executive resume', 'CEO', 'CFO', 'CTO', 'COO', 'senior leader CV', 'board-level resume'.
List more specific actions such as 'drafts achievement-driven summaries, quantifies P&L and organizational impact, formats for executive recruiters and board audiences'.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Specificity | Names the domain (C-suite/VP resumes) and one action (create), with a qualifier (emphasizing strategic leadership), but doesn't list multiple concrete actions like formatting, tailoring to industries, writing achievement bullets, etc. | 2 / 3 |
Completeness | Describes what it does (create executive resumes) but has no explicit 'Use when...' clause or equivalent trigger guidance, which per the rubric should cap completeness at 2, and the 'what' itself is thin enough to warrant a 1. | 1 / 3 |
Trigger Term Quality | Includes some relevant keywords like 'C-suite', 'VP', 'resumes', and 'strategic leadership', but misses common variations users might say such as 'executive resume', 'CEO resume', 'senior leadership CV', 'career document', or specific titles like CFO, CTO, COO. | 2 / 3 |
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk | The C-suite/VP focus provides some distinctiveness from a general resume skill, but could still overlap with broader resume-writing or career document skills since the boundaries aren't sharply defined. | 2 / 3 |

Implementation
27%Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.
This skill is comprehensive in coverage but severely over-engineered for its purpose. It explains many concepts Claude already knows (resume philosophy, what confidential information is, basic leadership language), resulting in poor token efficiency. The content would benefit greatly from being condensed to essential templates and decision rules, with detailed examples moved to separate reference files.
Suggestions
Cut the content by 60%+: remove the Standard vs Executive comparison table, the 'Executive Search Considerations' section, the 'Confidential Information' section, and the 'Executive Resume Tone' word lists—Claude already knows these concepts.
Add an explicit workflow with user interaction checkpoints: e.g., Step 1: Gather role target and career history, Step 2: Identify top 4-6 achievements with metrics (confirm with user), Step 3: Draft executive profile, Step 4: Review and iterate.
Split detailed examples (full role writeups, board section examples, tone guidance) into a separate EXAMPLES.md file and reference it from the main skill.
Add a validation step such as 'Before delivering, verify: all achievements include metrics, no first-person pronouns used, company context included for each role, resume length matches guidelines for role level.'
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | Extremely verbose at ~300+ lines. Much of the content explains resume-writing philosophy and concepts Claude already understands (e.g., what makes executive resumes different from standard resumes, what confidential information means). The comparison table, tone guidance, and 'executive search considerations' section are largely common knowledge for an LLM. | 1 / 3 |
Actionability | Provides concrete examples and templates (executive profile format, bullet formula, experience section format), which is helpful. However, these are illustrative examples rather than executable code/commands, and the guidance remains somewhat generic—it describes what good executive resumes look like rather than giving precise, step-by-step instructions for constructing one from user input. | 2 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | The recommended sections list provides a clear sequence, and the output format gives structure. However, there's no explicit workflow for gathering information from the user, no validation checkpoints (e.g., 'confirm metrics with user before finalizing'), and no feedback loop for iterating on the resume. For a multi-step creative process, the lack of a clear process flow is a gap. | 2 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | All content is in a single monolithic file with no references to supporting files. The extensive examples, tone guidance, and philosophical content could easily be split into separate reference files. The skill is a wall of text that dumps everything at once rather than providing a concise overview with pointers to detailed materials. | 1 / 3 |
