Discovery
0%Based on the skill's description, can an agent find and select it at the right time? Clear, specific descriptions lead to better discovery.
This is an extremely weak description that fails on every dimension. It provides no information about what the skill does, when it should be used, or what distinguishes it from other skills. It reads as a placeholder rather than a functional description.
Suggestions
Replace the entire description with concrete actions the skill performs (e.g., 'Runs long-duration test suites and reports results' or whatever the actual functionality is).
Add an explicit 'Use when...' clause with natural trigger terms that describe scenarios where this skill should be selected.
Remove the invocation syntax ('invoke with $agent-test-long-runner') from the description and replace it with user-facing language describing the skill's purpose and capabilities.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Specificity | The description contains no concrete actions whatsoever. 'Agent skill for test-long-runner' is entirely vague and does not describe what the skill actually does. | 1 / 3 |
Completeness | Neither 'what does this do' nor 'when should Claude use it' is answered. There is no 'Use when...' clause and no description of functionality. | 1 / 3 |
Trigger Term Quality | There are no natural keywords a user would say. 'test-long-runner' is an internal identifier, not a term users would naturally use in requests. The invocation syntax '$agent-test-long-runner' is technical jargon. | 1 / 3 |
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk | The description is so vague that it provides no distinguishing characteristics. 'Agent skill for test-long-runner' could be anything and offers no clear niche or distinct triggers. | 1 / 3 |
Total | 4 / 12 Passed |
Implementation
7%Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.
This skill is essentially a collection of generic motivational instructions with no actionable, concrete, or executable guidance. It tells Claude to 'be thorough' and 'take your time' without providing any specific tools, commands, workflows, or domain knowledge that Claude doesn't already possess. The skill adds virtually no value to Claude's context window.
Suggestions
Replace the generic capabilities list and instructions with concrete, executable workflows for at least one specific long-running task (e.g., a step-by-step codebase analysis process with specific commands and validation checkpoints).
Remove all advice Claude already knows (e.g., 'quality over speed', 'document everything') and replace with domain-specific knowledge or tool-specific instructions that Claude wouldn't have by default.
Add concrete code examples or command sequences for the claimed use cases, such as a specific approach to security auditing with tool invocations and output formats.
Define a clear workflow with validation steps for at least one complex task, including how to handle errors and when to checkpoint progress.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The content is padded with vague, generic advice that Claude already knows ('Take Your Time', 'Be Thorough', 'Document Everything'). The capabilities list and example use cases add no actionable information. Nearly every line could be removed without loss. | 1 / 3 |
Actionability | There are no concrete commands, code examples, executable steps, or specific instructions. Everything is abstract direction like 'deep dive into codebases' and 'comprehensive research across multiple sources' with no indication of how to actually do any of it. | 1 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | The numbered 'Instructions' are generic platitudes (e.g., 'Iterate', 'Communicate Progress') rather than a sequenced workflow. There are no validation checkpoints, no concrete steps, and no feedback loops for any process. | 1 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | The content has some structural organization with headers and sections, but there are no references to external files and no bundle to support deeper content. The sections themselves are shallow and don't warrant splitting, but the content is at least not a wall of text. | 2 / 3 |
