Quality

Content

61%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 is strong on actionability — exact tool slugs, parameters, formula syntax, and error codes — and is reasonably well structured as a single-file skill. Its main weaknesses are boilerplate padding and duplicated pitfall content, and the absence of any validation/verification checkpoints around destructive and batch record operations, which caps workflow clarity at 3.

Suggestions

Add explicit validation steps around destructive/batch operations, e.g., "Before DELETE_MULTIPLE_RECORDS, run AIRTABLE_LIST_RECORDS with the same filter and confirm the record count with the user; verify the deletion after."

Remove the boilerplate "When to Use" and "Example" sections (they restate the description without adding guidance) and de-duplicate the batch-limit pitfalls, which appear both in workflow 1 and under Known Pitfalls.

Spell out the parameters for AIRTABLE_UPDATE_MULTIPLE_RECORDS and AIRTABLE_DELETE_MULTIPLE_RECORDS (the records/ID payload format), and consider moving the formula-syntax catalog into a references/ file with a clearly signaled link.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

The body is dense and non-pedagogical, but batch limits are stated twice ("CREATE_RECORDS hard limit of 10 records per request" in workflow 1 and again under Known Pitfalls), and the "When to Use" and "Example" sections are pure padding ("This skill is applicable to execute the workflow or actions described in the overview"; an Example that only quotes the description back). This matches anchor 3 — mostly efficient but could be tightened — rather than 4, because the redundant and boilerplate sections are noticeable.

3 / 5

Actionability

Concrete, executable guidance throughout: exact tool slugs (AIRTABLE_LIST_RECORDS), exact parameter names with ID formats ('appXXXXXXXXXXXXXX'), working formula snippets ({Status}='Active', FIND('test', {Name})>0), error codes (422 UNKNOWN_FIELD_NAME), and rate-limit handling (429 with Retry-After). Anchor 4 fits — mostly executable with minor gaps, such as no full example call payload and AIRTABLE_UPDATE_MULTIPLE_RECORDS parameters never being spelled out; not 5 because common cases lack a complete copy-paste-ready invocation example.

4 / 5

Workflow Clarity

Sequences are clearly numbered with [Prerequisite]/[Optional]/[Required] tags, which alone would merit 4, but the workflows include destructive and batch operations (AIRTABLE_DELETE_MULTIPLE_RECORDS, 10-record batch imports) with no validation or verification steps before or after them. Per the judging guidelines, missing validation for destructive/batch operations caps workflow clarity at 3.

3 / 5

Progressive Disclosure

No bundle files exist (references/, scripts/, assets/ are absent), and the single-file body is well organized: clear section headers per workflow, a Quick Reference table for navigation, and no nested references. This matches anchor 4 (good structure, minor organization gaps) — not 5 because some content (the formula-syntax catalog and Known Pitfalls) is inline bulk that a well-signaled reference file could absorb, and not 3 because nothing is buried and navigation via headers and the table is easy.

Description

65%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 distinctive and reasonably specific about the Airtable domain, but lacks concrete action verbs and any "Use when..." trigger clause, capping both specificity and completeness at 3. Adding explicit verbs (create/update/delete records, filter with formulas) and a usage-trigger sentence would lift it substantially.

Suggestions

Add an explicit trigger clause, e.g., "Use when the user mentions Airtable, wants to create/update/delete records, or asks to filter a base with formulas."

Replace the generic "Automate Airtable tasks" with concrete action verbs: "Create, update, delete, and filter records; manage fields, tables, and schemas."

Drop the agent instruction "Always search tools first for current schemas" from the description — it belongs in the body, not the trigger text.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

The description names the domain and enumerates objects ("records, bases, tables, fields, views") but the only action verb is the generic "Automate Airtable tasks" — no concrete actions like create, update, delete, or filter are listed. It matches anchor 3 (names domain and 1-2 concrete actions); it is not 4 because no specific action verbs appear, only object nouns.

3 / 5

Completeness

It has a clear "what" ("Automate Airtable tasks via Rube MCP (Composio): records, bases, tables, fields, views") but no "Use when..." clause or equivalent trigger guidance — the second sentence ("Always search tools first for current schemas") is an instruction to the agent, not usage triggers, so completeness is capped at 3 per the judging guidelines.

3 / 5

Trigger Term Quality

"Airtable" plus "records, bases, tables, fields, views" gives good coverage of natural terms a user would say, matching anchor 4. Not 5 because common variations are missing (e.g., "rows", "add records", "Airtable API", "sync"); not 3 because the object-type keywords go well beyond one or two generic terms.

4 / 5

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

"Airtable via Rube MCP (Composio)" carves out a clear niche with a distinct product-specific trigger term, minimal conflict risk with other skills — a direct match for anchor 5. It is not 4 because there is no meaningful overlap risk with related skills; Airtable is named explicitly.
