Quality

Content

62%

Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.

A well-sequenced ideation workflow with explicit prioritization criteria and a clear clarifying first step, but it is held back by a Domain Context section that explains concepts Claude largely already knows and by ideation steps that give structure without concrete output templates or examples.

Suggestions

Trim the Domain Context attribution and definitional sentences (e.g., the Teresa Torres citation and the 'Best ideas often come from engineers' aside) to only what changes Claude's behavior, improving conciseness.

Add a concrete output template or one fully worked example idea (name, description, reasoning, key assumptions) so the ideation steps are actionable rather than purely structural.

Tighten the 'brainstorm product ideas' trigger or add a more specific distinguishing cue so the skill is less likely to overlap with generic ideation skills.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

The body is reasonably tight, but the Domain Context section explains concepts (defining the Product Trio, attributing Teresa Torres, explaining the Opportunity Solution Tree) that add length a leaner skill would omit; it could be tightened without losing actionability.

2 / 3

Actionability

Steps are concrete in structure (5 ideas per perspective, prioritize top 5, list name/description/reasoning/assumptions) but provide no executable examples or templates for the actual ideation output, leaving the precise deliverable format underspecified.

2 / 3

Workflow Clarity

A clear numbered sequence (understand opportunity, ideate from three perspectives, prioritize, detail each idea) with explicit prioritization criteria and a 'confirm and ask for clarification' checkpoint at the start; the task is non-destructive so the absence of a validate-retry loop is acceptable.

3 / 3

Progressive Disclosure

Content is organized into clear sections (Context, Domain Context, Instructions, Further Reading) with external links one level deep, but there are no bundle files and the body itself is a single inline overview with no split reference materials, leaving structure adequate but not exemplary for progressive disclosure.

Description

92%

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, third-person description that explicitly pairs a concrete multi-perspective method with clear 'Use when' triggers, covering what and when well. The only mild weakness is that 'brainstorm product ideas' is a broad trigger that could overlap with other ideation skills.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Lists multiple concrete actions ('generate new feature ideas', 'brainstorming solutions', 'ideating with a product trio') grounded in a specific multi-perspective method (PM, Designer, Engineer viewpoints), which matches the anchor for naming multiple specific actions.

3 / 3

Completeness

Clearly states both what it does ('Brainstorm product ideas for an existing product using multi-perspective ideation') and when to use it via an explicit 'Use when generating... brainstorming... or ideating...' clause, satisfying the what-AND-when anchor.

3 / 3

Trigger Term Quality

Includes natural phrasing a user would actually say ('generating new feature ideas', 'brainstorming solutions for an identified opportunity', 'ideating with a product trio'), giving good coverage of natural trigger terms.

3 / 3

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

The 'product trio' and multi-perspective framing is a fairly distinct niche, but the broad 'brainstorm product ideas' trigger could overlap with generic ideation skills, so it is somewhat specific but could still overlap with similar skills.
