Quality

Content

42%

Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.

The body is well-organized and concise but offers only high-level directives with no concrete executable guidance, and its single external reference points to a non-existent file.

Suggestions

Add concrete, executable guidance — example refactor patterns, command snippets, or a worked before/after code example — rather than abstract directives.

Create the missing `resources/implementation-playbook.md` (or fix the path) so the referenced detailed patterns actually exist.

Restructure the Instructions into an explicit ordered workflow with validation checkpoints (e.g. assess scope -> refactor in small steps -> run tests -> fix and re-run -> confirm green).

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

The body is lean and well-sectioned with no concept explanations, but it redundantly repeats the frontmatter description verbatim in the opening paragraph, which is unnecessary padding.

2 / 3

Actionability

Instructions are high-level directives ('Identify high-impact refactor candidates', 'Break work into small, testable steps') with no concrete executable code or commands, and the referenced playbook that would supply concrete patterns is a missing file.

1.5 / 3

Workflow Clarity

A loose step list with a validation mention ('Validate with tests') is present, but there is no ordered sequence with explicit validate-fix-revalidate feedback loops, which caps workflow clarity at 2 for potentially destructive refactor work.

2 / 3

Progressive Disclosure

Content is cleanly sectioned and signals a one-level-deep reference to `resources/implementation-playbook.md`, but the `resources/` directory does not exist so the reference is broken.

Description

50%

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 states a clear domain and purpose but lacks an explicit 'Use when...' trigger clause and relies on somewhat generic, jargon-heavy language rather than multiple concrete actions or natural trigger terms.

Suggestions

Append an explicit 'Use when...' clause listing natural user triggers (e.g. 'Use when cleaning up a messy codebase, removing duplication, or preparing code for review').

Replace buzzwords like 'SOLID design patterns' and 'modern software engineering best practices' with concrete, natural terms users would actually say.

Enumerate specific concrete actions (e.g. 'extract methods, remove duplication, simplify conditionals') instead of generic verbs like 'Analyze and refactor'.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Names the refactoring domain and actions ('Analyze and refactor the provided code') but these are generic verbs rather than a list of multiple specific concrete actions.

2 / 3

Completeness

It clearly states what the skill does but the 'when' is missing with no explicit 'Use when...' trigger clause, which caps completeness at 2 per the guidelines.

2 / 3

Trigger Term Quality

Terms like 'refactor' and 'clean code' are somewhat natural but lean technical ('SOLID design patterns'), and no 'Use when...' clause provides common natural variations a user would say.

2 / 3

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

'Code refactoring expert' is a recognizable niche but without distinct triggers it could still overlap with general coding or code-review skills.
