Quality

Content

92%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.

Excellent content for a simple skill: a fully executable command, an exact output format, and clear requirements with zero padding. The only flaw is a minor duplication between the intro line and the Task section.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

The body is lean and assumes competence — a single bash command plus an output template — but '## Task: Display the current date and time in Pakistan Standard Time (UTC+5)' literally restates the opening line 'This skill displays the current date and time in Pakistan Standard Time (PKT)', a minor duplication that could be trimmed. Not score 5 because of that redundancy; not score 3 because there is no unnecessary explanation or padding beyond it.

4 / 5

Actionability

The guidance is fully executable and copy-paste ready: `TZ='Asia/Karachi' date '+%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S %Z'` is a complete, runnable command, and the exact output format template ('Current Time in Pakistan (PKT): YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS PKT') removes all ambiguity. This matches the top anchor.

5 / 5

Workflow Clarity

Per the simple-skill exception, this single-task skill has one unambiguous action with a two-step sequence (run command, display formatted result) and clear requirements (timezone, 24-hour format, date included, no extra commentary). No validation is needed as the operation is read-only and non-destructive.

5 / 5

Progressive Disclosure

The skill is under 50 lines, single-purpose, and needs no external references — the rubric's guideline for such skills allows a 5 with well-organized sections, which this has (Task, Instructions, Requirements). No bundle files exist (no references/, scripts/, or assets/ directories), so nothing is misfiled or inlined that belongs elsewhere.

Description

78%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, concise, with an explicit 'Use when' trigger clause and concrete PKT/UTC+5 detail. The main gaps are single-action coverage and a generic 'current time' trigger that could overlap other time-related skills.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

"Display the current time in Pakistan Standard Time (PKT, UTC+5)" names the domain and one concrete action with the UTC offset, but offers no additional actions — matching the '1-2 concrete actions, not comprehensive' anchor. It is not score 2 because the action is genuinely concrete (not generic like 'Processes PDF files'), and not score 4 because there are no several specific actions listed.

3 / 5

Completeness

It explicitly answers both questions: 'what' is 'Display the current time in Pakistan Standard Time (PKT, UTC+5)' and 'when' is a concrete 'Use when the user asks for the current time, Pakistan time, or PKT' trigger clause. This matches the top anchor exactly; neither component is vague or implied.

5 / 5

Trigger Term Quality

"Use when the user asks for the current time, Pakistan time, or PKT" covers the natural phrasings including the PKT abbreviation. It falls short of comprehensive (score 5) because common variations like 'Karachi time', 'what time is it in Pakistan', or date-related phrasings are missing.

4 / 5

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

The Pakistan/PKT specialization is a clear niche, but the trigger 'the current time' is generic and would also fire for any other timezone/time-display skill — minor overlap risk with closely related skills. Not score 5 because that generic trigger term creates some conflict surface; not score 3 because the Pakistan-specific qualifiers keep it mostly distinct.
