Quality

Content

100%Scale 1-3

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

This is a well-crafted, concise planning skill that provides clear, actionable guidance with a concrete template. The workflow is logically sequenced, the checklist guidelines add useful constraints without over-explaining, and the content is appropriately scoped for a single-purpose skill. The only minor weakness is the somewhat boilerplate 'When to Use' and 'Limitations' sections, but they don't significantly detract from quality.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

The skill is lean and efficient. Every section serves a purpose—no unnecessary explanations of what planning is or why it matters. The template and guidelines are tight and assume Claude's competence.

3 / 3

Actionability

Provides a concrete, copy-paste-ready markdown template with specific structural requirements (6-10 atomic steps, verb-first, scope in/out). The workflow steps are specific and the checklist guidelines give clear, actionable formatting rules.

3 / 3

Workflow Clarity

The three-step workflow (Scan Context → Minimal Interaction → Generate Plan) is clearly sequenced. The plan template itself includes a validation step requirement. For a non-destructive planning skill, this level of workflow clarity is appropriate and complete.

3 / 3

Progressive Disclosure

For a simple, single-purpose skill under 50 lines with no need for external references, the content is well-organized into logical sections (Workflow, Template, Guidelines, Limitations) with clear headers and appropriate depth.

Description

67%Scale 1-3

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 has a clear 'Use when' trigger clause and communicates the core purpose, but lacks specificity in what concrete actions the skill performs beyond generating a checklist. It would benefit from more natural trigger terms and a more detailed explanation of capabilities to distinguish it from general coding assistance skills.

Suggestions

Add more specific concrete actions, e.g., 'Breaks down coding tasks into atomic steps, estimates complexity, identifies dependencies, and generates a numbered checklist'.

Expand trigger terms to include common variations users might say, such as 'implementation plan', 'task breakdown', 'steps to implement', 'todo list', or 'roadmap'.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

It names the domain ('coding task') and one action ('generate a clear, actionable, and atomic checklist'), but 'clear, actionable, and atomic' are quality adjectives rather than concrete distinct actions. It doesn't list multiple specific capabilities.

2 / 3

Completeness

It explicitly answers both 'what' (generate a clear, actionable, and atomic checklist) and 'when' (when a user asks for a plan for a coding task), with the 'Use when' clause clearly present.

3 / 3

Trigger Term Quality

Includes some natural keywords like 'plan', 'coding task', and 'checklist' that users might say, but misses common variations like 'todo list', 'implementation plan', 'task breakdown', 'steps', or 'roadmap'.

2 / 3

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

The concept of planning a coding task is somewhat specific, but 'coding task' is broad enough that it could overlap with general coding assistance skills, code review skills, or project management skills. The 'checklist' aspect adds some distinctiveness.
