Quality

Content

72%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 concise and well-structured with a clear workflow, but its actionability depends on an external prompts.md file that is not bundled here, leaving the inline guidance somewhat abstract.

Suggestions

Embed a minimal inline prompt-file template or concrete example so the skill is actionable without relying solely on the external prompts.md reference.

Add an explicit verification step in the Iterate section (e.g., confirm the saved .prompt.md renders and behaves as intended before finalizing).

Verify the prompts.md reference resolves to a bundled file, or inline the essential template/principles directly.

Dimension	Reasoning	Score
Conciseness	The body is lean and assumes Claude's competence, with no padding or explanation of concepts Claude already knows; every section earns its place.	5 / 5
Actionability	Provides concrete high-level steps (extract pattern, clarify, iterate) but defers the actual template/principles to an external prompts.md file and offers no copy-paste ready guidance, matching the 'some concrete guidance but incomplete' anchor.	3 / 5
Workflow Clarity	A clear three-phase sequence (Extract, Clarify, Iterate) with reasonable checkpoints, though validation/feedback steps are implicit rather than explicit.	4 / 5
Progressive Disclosure	Well-organized sections with a one-level-deep reference to prompts.md for template/principles; minor gap is that the referenced file is not present in the bundle to verify.	4 / 5

Description

50%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 the skill's purpose but omits any 'Use when' trigger guidance and has thin action coverage, capping it at mid-range scores. It is reasonably distinct from other skills.

Suggestions

Add an explicit 'Use when...' clause stating when Claude should invoke this skill (e.g., 'Use when the user wants to create or reuse a prompt for a repeated task').

List a couple more concrete actions (e.g., 'draft, refine, and save a reusable prompt') to lift specificity above 3.

Include natural trigger terms users would say, such as 'prompt template', 'reusable prompt', or 'save a prompt'.

Dimension	Reasoning	Score
Specificity	Names the domain (prompt files) and one concrete action ('Create a reusable prompt file (.prompt.md)') but provides no comprehensive list of actions, matching the 'names domain and 1-2 concrete actions' anchor.	3 / 5
Completeness	Has a clear 'what' (create a reusable prompt file) but no 'Use when...' clause or equivalent trigger guidance, which per the rubric caps completeness at 3.	3 / 5
Trigger Term Quality	Includes 'prompt file', '.prompt.md', and 'common task', but lacks natural trigger variations users would actually say, fitting the 'some relevant keywords but missing common variations' anchor.	3 / 5
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk	Specifically targets .prompt.md creation, a clear niche with distinct triggers and only minor overlap risk with the related agent-customization skill.	4 / 5
