Quality

Content

50%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 delivers a well-sequenced coordination playbook with concrete spawn commands and a memory protocol, but it is padded with generic management content, its key protocol examples are non-executable pseudocode, and it lacks validation/feedback checkpoints. Everything is inlined in one long file with no progressive disclosure to reference materials.

Suggestions

Replace the pseudo-JavaScript memory blocks with actual executable invocations of memory_usage so the mandatory protocol is copy-paste ready.

Trim generic sections (Performance Metrics, Best Practices, Communication Patterns, the assign_task pseudocode) to what the coordinator role specifically needs.

Add explicit validation checkpoints — e.g. verify swarm_init succeeded and check worker status output before and after each delegation — with a fix-and-retry loop for failed workers.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

The core sections (worker types with spawn commands, memory protocol) are specific, but several sections are generic padding Claude does not need taught: the pseudocode 'assign_task' algorithm, 'Communication Patterns', 'Performance Metrics' (>95% completion rate, <5% defect rate), and 'Best Practices' project-management advice. Mostly efficient with some unnecessary explanation, rather than the 'several padded sections' of the score-2 anchor, since a majority of the body is role-specific.

3 / 5

Actionability

There are concrete spawn commands and bash-style MCP invocations, but the central 'MANDATORY MEMORY COORDINATION PROTOCOL' is written as pseudo-JavaScript ('mcp__claude-flow__memory_usage { action: "store" ... }') that is neither valid code nor a copy-pasteable command, and 'assign_task' calls undefined functions. Concrete guidance present but incomplete/pseudocode, matching this anchor.

3 / 5

Workflow Clarity

The three-phase workflow (Planning, Execution & Monitoring, Integration & Delivery) is clearly sequenced, but validation is absent or only implicit — there is no check-result-then-proceed or fix-and-retry loop anywhere (no verify-output step before delivery, no error handling after 'swarm_init' or delegation). Sequence present with checkpoints missing fits this anchor; not score 2 because the phases and substeps are well defined.

3 / 5

Progressive Disclosure

The body has clear section headers and no broken or nested references (no bundle files exist to reference), but it is a single ~330-line monolith: the MCP tool reference, memory key structure, and decision framework would naturally live in separate reference files. Some structure, could be better split — matching this anchor; not score 4 because substantial reference-grade content is inlined.

Description

25%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.

The description is boilerplate that names the skill's domain but communicates nothing about its actual capabilities (queen-led swarm coordination, task decomposition, worker delegation) or when to use it. It would rarely be selected on merit by a user or model matching natural language to skills.

Suggestions

Rewrite the description in third person to state the concrete actions, e.g. 'Coordinates hierarchical agent swarms: decomposes objectives into sub-tasks, spawns specialized research/code/analyst/test workers, delegates and monitors their progress.'

Add an explicit trigger clause such as 'Use when the user asks to orchestrate multiple agents, run a swarm, or delegate work across specialized workers.'

Drop the meta-instruction 'invoke with $agent-hierarchical-coordinator' — it consumes characters without helping trigger selection.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

The description 'Agent skill for hierarchical-coordinator - invoke with $agent-hierarchical-coordinator' names the domain but describes zero concrete actions — it is a meta-statement about invocation, matching the 'Names the domain but actions are minimal or generic' anchor rather than the entirely vague anchor, since the coordinator domain is at least named.

2 / 5

Completeness

The 'what' is vague ('Agent skill for hierarchical-coordinator' says nothing about queen-led coordination, worker delegation, or supervision) and there is no 'when' clause at all — the missing-'Use when...' cap applies and the vague-what/no-when pattern matches this anchor exactly.

2 / 5

Trigger Term Quality

Only generic keywords ('agent skill', 'hierarchical-coordinator') appear; natural phrases a user would say ('swarm', 'delegate tasks', 'coordinate agents', 'orchestrate') are missing, and '$agent-hierarchical-coordinator' is pure technical jargon. This sits between the no-natural-keywords anchor and the some-relevant-keywords anchor, closer to one or two generic keywords.

2 / 5

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

The template 'Agent skill for X - invoke with $X' is a boilerplate pattern shared by any similarly generated agent skill; it would overlap heavily with every other coordinator/orchestrator skill and gives no distinguishing trigger. Not entirely generic (score 1) because the coordinator domain is named.
