Quality

Content

42%Weight 40%Scale 1-3

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

The body is a generic, templated outline that names strategies without concrete, executable guidance. Organization is fine for a short skill, but actionability is the weak point.

Suggestions

Replace abstract strategy bullets with concrete examples, e.g. actual query syntax like 'site:gov "annual report" -blog filetype:pdf' and exact WebSearch/WebFetch parameter usage.

Drop the boilerplate 'Use this skill when / Do not use this skill when / Instructions' sections that restate the obvious, or make them specific to search work.

Add an explicit verification feedback loop in the Approach workflow (e.g. 'if sources disagree, query two more independent domains before concluding') with a checkpoint.

Dimension	Reasoning	Score
Conciseness	Mostly efficient, but the templated 'Use this skill when / Do not use this skill when / Instructions' sections are generic filler that add little value.	2 / 3
Actionability	Guidance is abstract — 'Use specific phrases in quotes', 'allowed_domains for trusted sources' — with no concrete syntax, operators, or executable examples; it describes rather than instructs.	1 / 3
Workflow Clarity	The 'Approach' list sequences steps but lacks validation checkpoints or feedback loops for the verify-against-multiple-sources task.	2 / 3
Progressive Disclosure	No bundle files exist and the body is short with well-organized sections; per the simple-skill note this is sufficient.	3 / 3
	Total	8 / 12 Passed

Description

100%Weight 40%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 is specific, complete, and uses natural trigger terms with an explicit 'Use PROACTIVELY for ...' clause. It clearly distinguishes the skill's web-research niche and avoids vague fluff.

Dimension	Reasoning	Score
Specificity	Lists multiple concrete actions — 'search operators, result filtering, and multi-source verification' and 'competitive analysis and fact-checking' — matching the highest anchor.	3 / 3
Completeness	Clearly states what it does (research, synthesis, verification) and gives an explicit 'Use PROACTIVELY for ...' trigger clause answering when to use it.	3 / 3
Trigger Term Quality	Natural user-facing terms like 'deep research', 'information gathering', 'fact-checking', and 'trend analysis' give good coverage of phrases users would say.	3 / 3
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk	Has a clear niche (web research/synthesis) with distinct triggers, unlikely to fire for unrelated skills.	3 / 3
	Total	12 / 12 Passed
