codebase-questions

Answer questions about a repository indexed on repowise.dev with the Repowise tools. Use when the user asks what a repository contains, how its code works, where something is defined, how risky a change is, or about its code health, dead code or security findings.

Quality

Content

100%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 is an exemplary lean, self-contained instruction skill: it maps every user intent to a specific read-only tool, sequences the workflow with explicit branch handling, and includes concrete failure and freshness guidance. No padding, no concept re-teaching, and no structural waste. Nothing material is missing for the skill's scope.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

The ~50-line body is lean and assumes Claude's competence: 'Every tool is read-only' and the intent-to-tool table carry maximum instruction per token, with no re-teaching of known concepts or padding, matching the anchor for every token earning its place.

5 / 5

Actionability

Guidance is fully executable for an instruction-only skill: exact tool names for each need (get_overview, get_risk, get_dead_code, etc.), a copy-paste command ('git remote get-url origin'), a concrete URL (https://repowise.dev/dashboard), and specific rules like 'Ask one question per get_answer call' and 'call get_risk on it before editing a file', matching anchor 5.

5 / 5

Workflow Clarity

The four numbered sections form a clear sequence (pick repository, pick tool, answer, handle limits) with explicit decision checkpoints for every branch (one repo, several, none) and explicit error-recovery protocols ('Do not guess what it contains', 'say so in one sentence and do not retry'), plus a freshness check ('trust the local file for its current contents'). All tools are read-only, so the destructive/batch validation cap does not apply.

5 / 5

Progressive Disclosure

The skill is self-contained at roughly 50 lines with no external bundle files needed; the numbered sections and tool table are well organized, so per the rubric's simple-skill guideline it scores 5 with well-organized sections and no buried or nested references.

Description

88%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 strong description that pairs a clear statement of what the skill does with an explicit and concrete 'Use when...' trigger clause. Capability coverage is comprehensive and phrased in natural user language. The only weakness is modest synonym coverage and some trigger phrases generic enough to overlap with non-Repowise code-exploration skills.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

The description enumerates multiple concrete capabilities ('what a repository contains, how its code works, where something is defined, how risky a change is, or about its code health, dead code or security findings') giving comprehensive coverage of the toolset's question types, matching the anchor for multiple specific concrete actions rather than the 'minor gaps' of anchor 4.

5 / 5

Completeness

It clearly answers both 'what' ('Answer questions about a repository indexed on repowise.dev with the Repowise tools') and 'when' with an explicit 'Use when...' clause containing concrete trigger phrases, an exact match for anchor 5; anchor 4's weaker 'when' does not apply.

5 / 5

Trigger Term Quality

Natural phrases users would say are present ('how its code works', 'where something is defined', 'dead code', 'security findings'), but a few common synonyms and variations are missing (e.g., 'vulnerabilities', 'CVEs', 'unused code'), fitting anchor 4 rather than the comprehensive synonym coverage of anchor 5.

4 / 5

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

The 'repository indexed on repowise.dev' qualifier establishes a clear niche, but generic trigger phrases like 'how its code works' or 'where something is defined' create minor overlap risk with general code-exploration or code-review skills, fitting anchor 4 rather than the minimal conflict risk of anchor 5.
