business-analysis

Conducts structured business analyses: problem and stakeholder analysis, as-is/to-be gap analysis, user personas, scope definition. Creates BA documents as the foundation for requirements engineering. Uses innovation phases EXPLORATION, IDEATION, and VALIDATION. Use this skill when the user mentions "Business Analysis", "BA", "Stakeholder Analysis", "Problem Analysis", "As-Is Analysis", "Gap Analysis", "User Personas", "Define Scope", "Analyze Project", "Explore", "How might we", "Value Proposition", "Idea Potential", "Innovation", or similar. Also when the user wants to start a new project and does not yet have a clear requirement. This skill helps understand the problem before discussing solutions.

Quality

Content

75%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.

A well-engineered, information-dense skill body: concrete commands, naming schemas, dialogue scripts, quality gates, and disciplined delegation to references rather than restating conventions. The recurring deductions are consistency of the phase system (duplicate/missing phase numbers, EVALUATE vs VALIDATION naming, a dangling section reference) and template files referenced but not present in the bundle.

Suggestions

Fix the phase-system incoherence: merge or rename the two 'Phase 0' sections, close the Phase 5-to-Phase 8 gap, align the Phase 4 'EVALUATE' title with the Process Overview's 'VALIDATION', and replace the dangling 'Section 7.3' reference with a real heading link.

Ship the referenced template files (templates/EXPLORATION-BOARD.md, BA-TEMPLATE, BA-MINI-TEMPLATE) in the bundle or inline their minimal skeletons, since Phase 5 and the triage table depend on files that are not present.

Trim redundancy: drop the trailing '## Keywords' section that duplicates the frontmatter description, and consolidate the four separate pointers to references/innovation-methods.md into one authoritative reference.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

The body is dense and instructional throughout — no padding explaining concepts Claude already knows, conventions deliberately linked once ('Do not restate'), and anti-patterns kept as one-liners with detail delegated to references/anti-patterns.md. It falls short of anchor 5 because of small inefficiencies: the trailing '## Keywords' section (~6 lines) duplicates the frontmatter trigger list, and references/innovation-methods.md is pointed to four separate times where one authoritative pointer would do.

4 / 5

Actionability

Guidance is largely executable: exact file-naming patterns with line caps, verbatim dialogue templates, the GitHub integration commands ('python3 tools/github-integration/flow.py tag-phase --item <ID> --phase ba'), a canonical commit message format, and concrete evidence-block formats. It is not anchor 5 because Phase 5 directs 'Read the template files in `templates/`' and the triage table assigns BA-TEMPLATE / BA-MINI-TEMPLATE / templates/EXPLORATION-BOARD.md, yet none of those files exist in the bundle — a concrete step that cannot be executed as shipped.

4 / 5

Workflow Clarity

The sequence is clear and checkpoint-rich: mandatory pre-flight checks, a triage table, three detection modes, scope-scaled phase tracks, explicit Quality Gates as pass/fail checklists, and a five-part Handoff Ritual including a /consistency-check validation pass and error-recovery behavior (Validation Mode walkthrough, contradictions triggering new backlog entries). It misses anchor 5 due to numbering incoherences: two sections labeled 'Phase 0', a jump from Phase 5 to Phase 8 with no Phase 6-7, a dangling 'Section 7.3' reference in a document without numbered sections, and Phase 4 titled 'EVALUATE' while the Process Overview calls the same phase 'VALIDATION'.

4 / 5

Progressive Disclosure

Structure against the actual bundle is good: the two shipped references (references/innovation-methods.md, references/anti-patterns.md) are real, one level deep, and clearly signaled at their point of use ('Full trigger-to-method table in `references/innovation-methods.md`'), and shared conventions are delegated rather than restated. Minor gaps keep it from anchor 5: the referenced `templates/` and `tools/github-integration/` paths are absent from the bundle, so navigation dead-ends for a reader outside the parent project.

Description

91%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: third-person, concrete about capabilities, with an explicit and comprehensive 'Use this skill when...' trigger list plus a valuable state-based trigger for users starting a project without clear requirements. The only weaknesses are minor: a few overly broad trigger terms ('Explore', 'Innovation') and slight under-reporting of the skill's ideation and validation activities.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

The description lists several concrete actions — 'problem and stakeholder analysis, as-is/to-be gap analysis, user personas, scope definition' plus 'Creates BA documents as the foundation for requirements engineering' — in third person. It sits at anchor 4 rather than 5 because notable capabilities from the body (ideation/market assessment scoring, post-release hypothesis review, RE handoff) are only implied via the phase names, leaving minor gaps in coverage; it is well above anchor 3 since multiple specific actions, not just 1-2, are named.

4 / 5

Completeness

Both questions are answered explicitly: the 'what' via 'Conducts structured business analyses: problem and stakeholder analysis, as-is/to-be gap analysis, user personas, scope definition. Creates BA documents as the foundation for requirements engineering', and the 'when' via 'Use this skill when the user mentions ... or similar. Also when the user wants to start a new project and does not yet have a clear requirement.' This mirrors the anchor-5 good example (concrete action list + explicit 'Use when ... or the user mentions ...' triggers); it is clearly above anchor 4, where the 'when' would only be weakly specified.

5 / 5

Trigger Term Quality

The trigger list is comprehensive with natural synonyms and abbreviations users would actually say: "Business Analysis", "BA", "Stakeholder Analysis", "Problem Analysis", "As-Is Analysis", "Gap Analysis", "User Personas", "Define Scope", "Analyze Project", "Explore", "How might we", "Value Proposition", "Idea Potential", "Innovation", plus the state-based trigger 'when the user wants to start a new project and does not yet have a clear requirement'. This matches the anchor-5 pattern of comprehensive natural-term coverage including variations (BA/As-Is Analysis/How might we); file extensions are not applicable to this domain.

5 / 5

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

The skill occupies a clear niche — analysis before solutioning — and explicitly positions itself against adjacent skills ('foundation for requirements engineering', 'helps understand the problem before discussing solutions'), which keeps RE/architecture conflict low. It stays at anchor 4 rather than 5 because a few triggers ('Explore', 'Innovation', 'Analyze Project') are broad enough to overlap with general ideation/exploration requests and fire on the wrong skill occasionally.
