Quality

Content

85%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 well-crafted, operational skill body: concrete steps, explicit error handling, and idempotency guidance with no filler. It falls just short of top marks on conciseness (a redundant intro sentence) and actionability (implicit Linear CLI commands and placeholder names).

Suggestions

Drop or compress the opening sentence that duplicates the frontmatter description, letting the body start directly with the workflow.

Add the exact `linear` CLI command shapes used to query DEVX/DXO tickets and post status comments, so step 6 is copy-paste ready.

Name the specific Obsidian date placeholders to replace in step 2 (e.g., `{{date}}`, `{{title}}`) instead of leaving them implicit.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

The body is dense with non-inferable operational detail (vault paths, the exact `gh api orgs/getditto/actions/runner-groups/8/runners` endpoint, keyring retry behavior, `commented:: true` markers), but the opening sentence restates the frontmatter description almost verbatim — a minor instance of trimmable redundancy that keeps it below the leanest anchor.

4 / 5

Actionability

Most steps are executable with concrete commands and paths (bash block for paths, template path, `linear-cli:linear-cli` prefix, DEVX/DXO ticket states), but the actual Linear CLI query commands and the Obsidian placeholder names to replace are left implicit — minor gaps that fall just short of fully copy-paste ready.

4 / 5

Workflow Clarity

Ten clearly sequenced steps plus an Edge cases checklist (idempotency, Monday fallback, missing auth) and an explicit error-recovery feedback loop (retry outside the sandbox on `No keyring entry`); the batch comment-posting step includes a duplicate-prevention pre-check ('tickets that do not already have today's comment'), so the batch-operation validation cap does not apply.

5 / 5

Progressive Disclosure

A self-contained ~60-line workflow with well-organized sections (Workflow, Edge cases) where nothing warrants splitting into bundle files; cross-references like `$pr-daily` and `$work-track` are skill invocations, not buried file references, so navigation is trivial.

Description

92%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 description: it states concrete capabilities in third person, gives explicit invocation triggers with natural phrasing, and occupies a distinct niche. The only gap is modest synonym coverage in trigger terms.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

The description enumerates six concrete deliverables — 'daily notes, yesterday summary, agenda, status comments, meeting sections, and daily branch setup' — comprehensively covering the workflow in third person, matching the anchor for multiple specific concrete actions.

5 / 5

Completeness

It explicitly answers both 'what' (the enumerated startup workflow) and 'when' with concrete trigger phrases ('when invoked as `$work-start-day` or when the user asks to start the work day'), matching the top anchor.

5 / 5

Trigger Term Quality

'Use when invoked as `$work-start-day` or when the user asks to start the work day' includes a natural user phrase, but common synonyms like 'morning routine' or 'begin my workday' are missing, so coverage is good rather than comprehensive.

4 / 5

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

The trigger 'start the work day' and the `$work-start-day` invocation define a clear niche with minimal overlap risk against generic note-taking or git skills.
