Quality

Content

71%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 delivers concrete, mostly executable guidance with a clear sequenced workflow and a review feedback loop, well-organized for a simple skill. Its main weakness is mild verbosity in the example-prose section.

Suggestions

Tighten the step 7 Good/Bad example and drop the 'Ask yourself' framing to reduce token weight while keeping the user-facing-first guidance.

Add a brief checkpoint before step 8 confirming changelog files are correctly named and follow the single-line format.

Clarify what counts as 'important commits' (e.g. reference the skip list in step 1) so the filtering judgment is less implicit.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

Mostly efficient, but the Good/Bad example block and the 'Ask yourself' framing add explanation that could be tightened without losing the core guidance.

3 / 5

Actionability

Provides concrete executable elements (git log command, exact filename patterns, enumerated allowed types, single-line format) with only minor gaps such as the 'important commits' judgment being left implicit.

4 / 5

Workflow Clarity

A clear numbered sequence (1-8) with a validation feedback loop via '/prose-review changelog/ ... fix anything it flags'; minor gaps in checkpointing file naming/format before review keep it from a 5.

4 / 5

Progressive Disclosure

A simple single-purpose skill under ~60 lines with clear Instructions and Example sections and no bundle files; well-organized and self-contained.

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 clearly states what the skill does but omits any explicit trigger guidance, leaving the 'when' implicit. It is reasonably distinctive but lacks keyword breadth and multiple concrete actions.

Suggestions

Add a 'Use when...' clause naming concrete triggers, e.g. 'Use when the user asks to write changelog or release-note entries for commits in a PR.'

Broaden keyword coverage with synonyms a user might say, such as 'release notes' or 'what's new'.

Name a second concrete action beyond 'Create' (e.g. 'Create and format changelog files') to lift specificity.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Names the domain (changelog files) and one concrete action ('Create'), but coverage is not comprehensive with only a single action verb.

3 / 5

Completeness

Has a clear 'what' (create changelog files for important commits in a PR) but no 'Use when...' trigger clause, which caps completeness at 3 per the guidelines.

3 / 5

Trigger Term Quality

Relevant keywords ('changelog', 'commits', 'PR') are present but common synonyms users might say ('release notes', 'what's new') are missing.

3 / 5

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

The 'changelog files for important commits in a PR' niche is mostly distinct with only minor overlap risk against related git/commit-message skills.
