Discovery
40%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 identifies a clear and distinctive niche (Philips Hue control via OpenHue CLI) but is too terse. It lacks specific concrete actions (e.g., toggle lights, set brightness, change colors, activate scenes) and has no explicit 'Use when...' clause to guide skill selection.
Suggestions
Add a 'Use when...' clause such as 'Use when the user asks to control smart lights, turn on/off Hue lights, change light colors or brightness, or activate lighting scenes.'
List specific concrete actions like 'Turn lights on/off, adjust brightness and color, activate scenes, list rooms and devices' to improve specificity.
Include natural trigger terms users might say: 'smart lights', 'turn on the lights', 'change color', 'brightness', 'home lighting'.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Specificity | Names the domain (Philips Hue lights) and some actions ('control lights and scenes'), but doesn't list specific concrete actions like turning on/off, adjusting brightness, changing colors, listing rooms, etc. | 2 / 3 |
Completeness | Describes what it does ('Control Philips Hue lights and scenes via the OpenHue CLI') but has no explicit 'Use when...' clause or equivalent trigger guidance, which per the rubric should cap completeness at 2, and since the 'what' is also fairly thin, a score of 1 is appropriate. | 1 / 3 |
Trigger Term Quality | Includes good natural keywords like 'Philips Hue', 'lights', and 'scenes', but misses common variations users might say such as 'smart lights', 'turn on/off lights', 'brightness', 'color', 'rooms', 'bulbs', or 'home automation'. | 2 / 3 |
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk | Very clear niche — Philips Hue lights via OpenHue CLI is highly specific and unlikely to conflict with other skills. The combination of brand name, product type, and specific CLI tool makes it distinctly identifiable. | 3 / 3 |
Total | 8 / 12 Passed |
Implementation
100%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 skill that provides comprehensive, actionable CLI reference for Philips Hue control. It's concise, well-organized with clear categories, and every example is executable. The routing guidance (when to use / when not to use) is a nice touch that helps Claude decide when to apply this skill.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The skill is lean and efficient. The 'When to Use' and 'When NOT to Use' sections add value for routing decisions without over-explaining. Every section contains actionable commands with no unnecessary prose or concept explanations. | 3 / 3 |
Actionability | Every command is fully executable and copy-paste ready with realistic examples covering lights, rooms, scenes, brightness, color, and temperature. The quick presets section provides concrete real-world usage patterns. | 3 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | This is a simple, single-purpose skill (CLI command reference) with no multi-step destructive operations. Commands are clearly categorized and unambiguous. The notes section covers prerequisites (bridge pairing, network). No feedback loops are needed for these non-destructive operations. | 3 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | For a skill under 50 lines of substantive content, the organization is excellent with clear section headers (List Resources, Control Lights, Control Rooms, Scenes, Quick Presets, Notes). No external references are needed given the scope. | 3 / 3 |
Total | 12 / 12 Passed |
