Quality

Content

75%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 content is well-structured, actionable, and concise, giving Claude a clear executable workflow for a read-only search task. The main gaps are a slightly vague jq parsing step and no explicit validation checkpoint before summarizing.

Suggestions

Replace 'Use jq to extract fields' with a concrete jq snippet (e.g. jq -r '.[] | {session_id, project, created, snippet}') to make the parse step copy-paste ready.

Add an explicit verify step in the workflow (e.g. 'Confirm at least one relevant result before deep-diving; if none, try alternative search terms') to close the workflow_clarity gap.

Consider moving the install/error-handling block into a separate reference file to tighten the main body and lift progressive_disclosure.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

The body is mostly lean with concrete commands and tight sections; minor padding appears in the routing blockquote and the multi-command install/error-handling block, but nothing extensively explains concepts Claude already knows.

4 / 5

Actionability

Provides concrete executable commands ('aichat search --json -n 10 "[query]"', '-g "project"', install commands) and real file paths; the jq parsing step stays slightly hand-wavy without an exact command, leaving a minor gap.

4 / 5

Workflow Clarity

A clear 5-step numbered sequence with guardrails ('max 3 files') and an empty-results fallback in Constraints; this is a read-only search skill so the destructive/batch validation cap does not apply, but there is no explicit verify-before-summarize checkpoint.

4 / 5

Progressive Disclosure

Well-organized into clear sections (Workflow, Output Format, Example, Constraints, Error Handling) with no nested references and easy navigation; slightly over 50 lines with the install guidance inlined, so it is not a perfect 5.

Description

61%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 is specific and well-scoped to a clear niche, with good natural trigger terms. Its main weakness is the absence of an explicit 'Use when...' clause, which leaves the trigger timing implicit and caps completeness.

Suggestions

Add an explicit 'Use when...' clause, e.g. 'Use when you need to find prior decisions, code patterns, or work from previous agent sessions and you cannot delegate to a subagent.'

Broaden trigger term coverage with synonyms users commonly say, such as 'find past sessions', 'what did we decide', or 'where did we work on'.

List the concrete actions more comprehensively (search, filter by project/date, read session files, summarize) to lift specificity from a single search action.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Names the domain ('Search previous code agent sessions') and several search targets ('work, decisions, or code patterns'), but the action is essentially a single search operation rather than a comprehensive list of concrete capabilities.

3 / 5

Completeness

There is a clear 'what' (search previous sessions for work, decisions, code patterns) but no explicit 'Use when...' trigger clause, which caps completeness at 3 per the rubric guideline.

3 / 5

Trigger Term Quality

Includes natural phrases users would say ('search previous... sessions', 'decisions', 'code patterns', 'work') alongside technical qualifiers; a few common synonyms are missing but coverage is good.

4 / 5

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

The qualifier 'For CLI agents WITHOUT subagent support (e.g., Codex CLI)' carves out a distinct niche with only minor overlap risk against general search skills.
