calculator-design

Designing interactive calculators (ROI calculators, pricing estimators, savings projections, mortgage calculators, custom assessments) that deliver real decision-support value while serving as lead magnets and qualified-traffic generators. Honest about vanity-calculator (no real value), lead-trap (hides the answer behind email), and transparent-decision-tool (gives the result and earns the email through tiered value) patterns. Triggers on calculator, ROI calculator, pricing estimator, savings calculator, custom calculator, interactive tool, decision tool, financial calculator. Also triggers when an audience needs a calculation-driven lead magnet, when a vanity calculator is producing leads but no qualified ones, or when a calculator is being scoped for the first time.

Quality

Content

78%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.

A well-organized opinionated playbook that appropriately splits detail into one-level-deep reference files and provides a concrete framework plus worked example. Minor redundancy across the framing sections is the main weakness.

Suggestions

Consolidate the vanity-calculator/lead-trap/transparent-decision-tool framing so it is stated once in the keystone section and merely cross-referenced from the anti-patterns and closing sections to remove redundancy.

Make the 12-consideration framework explicitly procedural by noting the order in which to apply them when auditing an existing calculator versus designing a new one.

Add a short validate/review checkpoint at the end of the framework (e.g., 're-run the litmus test against the drafted calculator before shipping') to strengthen the workflow's feedback loop.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

The body is mostly efficient domain-specific practitioner guidance Claude would not already know, but the vanity/lead-trap/transparent-decision-tool framing is restated in the keystone, anti-patterns, and closing sections, which could be tightened.

4 / 5

Actionability

Concrete and actionable for a design skill: a 12-consideration framework, named input types, explicit tier definitions, and a worked B2B SaaS pricing example, though guidance leans principle-oriented rather than fully procedural.

4 / 5

Workflow Clarity

The numbered 12-consideration framework provides a clear sequence, with the litmus-test checkpoint and the 'If required data is unavailable' guardrail; no explicit validate-retry feedback loops, but the task is not destructive or batch so no cap applies.

4 / 5

Progressive Disclosure

SKILL.md is a concise overview with nine one-level-deep references, each signaled inline ('Detail in [references/...]') and indexed in a 'Reference files' section; all nine referenced files exist in ./references/.

Description

100%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.

A highly specific, well-structured description that comprehensively covers capabilities, natural trigger terms, when-to-use guidance, and a distinct niche. It uses third-person voice and avoids vague fluff.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Names the domain plus multiple concrete calculator types (ROI, pricing estimators, savings projections, mortgage, custom assessments) and three explicit named patterns (vanity-calculator, lead-trap, transparent-decision-tool), giving comprehensive concrete coverage rather than vague abstraction.

5 / 5

Completeness

Explicitly states what the skill does ('Designing interactive calculators...that deliver real decision-support value while serving as lead magnets') and when to use it with concrete trigger phrases ('Triggers on...', 'Also triggers when...').

5 / 5

Trigger Term Quality

'Triggers on calculator, ROI calculator, pricing estimator, savings calculator, custom calculator, interactive tool, decision tool, financial calculator' covers natural terms a user would say, including synonyms and variants.

5 / 5

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

Occupies a clear niche (interactive calculators as a specific lead-magnet type) with distinct triggers and explicitly distinguishes itself from the parent lead-magnet-design frame, minimizing conflict risk.
