Discovery
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.
This is a well-crafted skill description that excels across all dimensions. It provides specific pagination strategies, includes natural developer terminology, explicitly states both capabilities and trigger conditions, and carves out a distinct niche that won't conflict with broader API or database skills.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Specificity | Lists multiple specific concrete actions: 'offset, cursor, and keyset strategies', 'building paginated endpoints', 'implementing infinite scroll', 'optimizing database queries for collections'. These are concrete, actionable capabilities. | 3 / 3 |
Completeness | Clearly answers both what ('Implements efficient API pagination using offset, cursor, and keyset strategies') AND when ('Use when building paginated endpoints, implementing infinite scroll, or optimizing database queries for collections') with explicit trigger guidance. | 3 / 3 |
Trigger Term Quality | Includes natural keywords users would say: 'pagination', 'paginated endpoints', 'infinite scroll', 'large datasets', 'offset', 'cursor', 'keyset'. These cover common variations of how developers discuss pagination. | 3 / 3 |
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk | Clear niche focused specifically on API pagination patterns. The specific strategies (offset, cursor, keyset) and use cases (infinite scroll, paginated endpoints) create distinct triggers unlikely to conflict with general API or database skills. | 3 / 3 |
Total | 12 / 12 Passed |
Implementation
87%Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.
This is a strong, well-structured skill that provides actionable pagination implementations with excellent token efficiency. The comparison table and executable code examples make it immediately useful. Minor improvement could include error handling guidance for edge cases like invalid cursors or boundary conditions.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | Content is lean and efficient with no unnecessary explanations. The comparison table, code examples, and best practices all earn their place without explaining concepts Claude already knows. | 3 / 3 |
Actionability | Provides fully executable JavaScript code for both offset and cursor pagination patterns. Examples are copy-paste ready with proper error handling (limit capping, cursor decoding). | 3 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | This is primarily a reference skill showing implementation patterns rather than a multi-step workflow. However, it lacks validation guidance for common pagination pitfalls (invalid cursors, out-of-range pages) which would be valuable for production use. | 2 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | For a skill under 50 lines focused on a single topic, the content is well-organized with clear sections (strategies table, implementations, response format, best practices). No external references needed for this scope. | 3 / 3 |
Total | 11 / 12 Passed |
