Discovery
67%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 has a clear 'Use when' clause and answers both what and when, which is its main strength. However, it is light on specific capabilities—it only mentions generating a checklist without detailing what that involves—and lacks sufficient trigger term variety to reliably distinguish it from other planning or coding skills.
Suggestions
Add more specific concrete actions, e.g., 'Breaks down coding tasks into atomic steps, estimates complexity, identifies dependencies, and outputs a numbered checklist.'
Expand trigger term coverage with natural variations users might say, such as 'implementation plan', 'task breakdown', 'steps to implement', 'todo list', or 'roadmap'.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Specificity | It names the domain (coding task planning) and one action (generate a checklist), but doesn't list multiple concrete actions or elaborate on what the checklist entails beyond 'clear, actionable, and atomic'. | 2 / 3 |
Completeness | Explicitly answers both 'what' (generate a clear, actionable, and atomic checklist) and 'when' (when a user asks for a plan for a coding task), with a clear 'Use when' trigger clause. | 3 / 3 |
Trigger Term Quality | Includes some natural keywords like 'plan', 'coding task', and 'checklist', but misses common variations users might say such as 'todo list', 'implementation plan', 'task breakdown', 'steps', or 'roadmap'. | 2 / 3 |
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk | Somewhat specific to coding task planning/checklists, but could overlap with general project planning skills, task management skills, or coding assistance skills that also involve planning steps. | 2 / 3 |

Implementation
100%Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.
This is a well-crafted, concise planning skill that provides clear, actionable guidance without unnecessary verbosity. The template is concrete and copy-paste ready, the workflow is logically sequenced, and the checklist guidelines add precise formatting constraints. The Limitations section adds appropriate safety boundaries.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The skill is lean and efficient. It avoids explaining what planning is or why checklists matter—concepts Claude already knows. Every section serves a clear purpose, and the template is compact yet complete. | 3 / 3 |
Actionability | The skill provides a concrete, copy-paste-ready markdown template with specific structural requirements (6-10 atomic steps, verb-first, scope in/out). The checklist guidelines give precise formatting rules (verb-first, atomic, name specific files). This is fully actionable guidance. | 3 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | The three-step workflow (Scan Context → Minimal Interaction → Generate Plan) is clearly sequenced and unambiguous. Validation is explicitly included as a required element in the plan template. For a non-destructive planning task, this level of workflow clarity is appropriate and complete. | 3 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | For a simple, single-purpose skill under 50 lines with no need for external references, the content is well-organized into logical sections (Workflow, Template, Guidelines, Limitations) that are easy to navigate. No bundle files are needed for this scope. | 3 / 3 |
