Quality

Content

81%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 a strong, highly actionable workflow document: exact templates, explicit validation gates, feedback loops, and thoughtful error handling including rollback and untrusted-input rules. Its weaknesses are a handful of pure-filler sections and a monolithic structure where the per-track-type question banks could be externalized.

Suggestions

Delete the filler "Instructions" section ("Clarify goals... Apply relevant best practices and validate outcomes") and the generic "Use/Do not use this skill when" bullets — they state nothing concrete.

Move the per-track-type question banks (Feature/Bug/Chore-Refactor) into a references file (e.g. references/questions.md) linked from the main flow to slim the SKILL.md body.

Give the trailing security/rollback paragraph its own heading (e.g. "## Path Safety") so it reads as a deliberate step rather than an appended afterthought.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

Most of the body is tight, load-bearing template content, but sections like "Clarify goals, constraints, and required inputs. Apply relevant best practices and validate outcomes." and the boilerplate "Use this skill when / Do not use this skill when" bullets add no value and are pure filler. "Mostly efficient but includes some unnecessary explanation" fits anchor 3; anchor 4 would require only minor trimmable over-explanation rather than whole disposable sections.

3 / 5

Actionability

Everything is copy-paste ready: exact question scripts per track type, complete spec.md/plan.md/metadata.json/index.md templates, a precise ID format with worked examples ("user-auth_20250115"), and the exact tracks.md row format. Matches anchor 5: fully executable guidance covering the common cases with no gaps.

5 / 5

Workflow Clarity

The sequence is explicit end-to-end (pre-flight checks → classification → one-question-per-turn gathering → spec review → plan review → track creation → completion) with real feedback loops (edit/start-over options at both review gates) and an Error Handling section covering cleanup and rollback. Matches anchor 5: clear sequence, explicit validation, and error-recovery guidance; the destructive-operation cap does not apply since rollback rules are present.

5 / 5

Progressive Disclosure

Well-organized sections in logical order, and with no bundle files present the inline templates are defensible since all of it is consumed in a single invocation. Minor gaps keep it below anchor 5: the trailing security/rollback paragraph is appended without its own header after Error Handling, and the ~430-line monolith could split the per-track-type question banks into reference files.

Description

50%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 clearly states what the skill produces but is terse to a fault: it lacks any "use when" trigger guidance, omits the track-type vocabulary (feature/bug/chore/refactor) users would actually say, and relies on undefined jargon ("track"). It is serviceable but generic within its own ecosystem.

Suggestions

Add an explicit trigger clause, e.g. "Use when starting a new feature, bug fix, chore, or refactor track, or when the user mentions creating a track, spec, or implementation plan."

Expand the capability list to mention the full workflow: interactive spec gathering, phased plan generation, and track scaffolding/registration in conductor/tracks.

Include the natural synonyms (feature, bug fix, chore, refactor) so the description matches what users actually type rather than only the internal term "track".

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

"Create a new track with specification and phased implementation plan" names the domain (track) and its deliverables (specification, phased plan), but offers only a single action verb and no comprehensive coverage of what the skill does (classification, interactive gathering, file scaffolding, registration). Matches anchor 3; not anchor 4 because several specific actions are not listed, and above anchor 2 because deliverables are named rather than purely generic.

3 / 5

Completeness

The "what" is clear (create a track with a spec and phased plan), but there is no "Use when..." clause or equivalent explicit trigger guidance, which caps this dimension at 3 per the judging guidelines. Matches anchor 3 exactly: clear what, missing when.

3 / 5

Trigger Term Quality

Keywords are limited to "track", "specification", and "implementation plan" — domain-relevant but jargon-heavy, and missing the natural phrases users would say ("new feature", "bug fix", "chore", "refactor", "implementation plan"). Anchor 3 (some relevant keywords, missing common variations) fits; anchor 4 requires good coverage of natural terms, which is absent.

3 / 5

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

"New track" is niche jargon but without trigger guidance the description cannot be distinguished from sibling skills (e.g. /conductor:implement, /conductor:status referenced in the body) or generic project-planning skills. "Somewhat specific but could still overlap with similar skills" fits anchor 3 better than anchor 4's minor-overlap bar.
