Quality

Content

72%

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

The body is concise and well-structured for a small instruction-only skill, but it stays at an abstract level without concrete commands or validation checkpoints, limiting actionability and workflow clarity.

Suggestions

Add concrete example commands for the key steps (e.g., the actual `codesign`/`xcrun notarytool`/`spctl` invocations or `xcodebuild archive` flags) so the guidance is executable rather than descriptive.

Insert an explicit validation checkpoint in the workflow — e.g., a 'verify signature and notarization status, re-run if it fails' feedback loop with the specific `codesign --verify` / `spctl --assess` commands.

Spell out the minimum follow-up validation commands the body currently only 'points to', so the output expectations are concretely actionable.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

The body is lean and assumes Claude's competence — it never explains what notarization or hardened runtime is, and every line carries actionable signal.

3 / 3

Actionability

Guidance is largely abstract ('Validate app bundle structure', 'Check nested frameworks', 'Point to the minimum follow-up validation commands') rather than concrete commands; it describes steps instead of giving executable ones.

2 / 3

Workflow Clarity

A clear four-step sequence is present, but there are no explicit validation checkpoints or validate→fix→retry feedback loops for these fragile signing/notarization operations, which caps the score.

2 / 3

Progressive Disclosure

This is a short, single-purpose skill with no bundle files, and its well-organized sections (Quick Start, Workflow, Guardrails, Output Expectations) satisfy the simple-skill allowance for a top score.

Description

100%

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 concise, specific, and clearly answers both what the skill does and when to use it, with natural trigger terms and a distinct niche.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

It lists multiple concrete action domains — 'Prepare and troubleshoot packaging, signing, and notarization workflows' — matching the anchor that enumerates several specific actions, in third person.

3 / 3

Completeness

It explicitly states both what it does ('Prepare and troubleshoot packaging, signing, and notarization workflows for macOS distribution') and when to use it via the explicit 'Use when...' clause.

3 / 3

Trigger Term Quality

'archive a Mac app, validate bundle structure, reason about notarization readiness, or explain distribution-only failures' are natural phrases a user would say, with good coverage of common variations.

3 / 3

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

The macOS distribution packaging/notarization niche is specific with distinct triggers, making it unlikely to fire for the wrong skill.
