Quality
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 that explicitly states the trigger condition, which is its strongest aspect. However, it lacks specificity in describing concrete capabilities beyond generating a checklist, and the trigger terms could be broader to capture more natural user phrasings. The description is functional but could be more distinctive and detailed.
Suggestions
Add more specific concrete actions, e.g., 'Breaks down coding tasks into atomic steps, estimates complexity, identifies dependencies, and generates ordered checklists'.
Expand trigger terms to include natural variations users might say: 'plan', 'breakdown', 'steps', 'todo', 'implementation plan', 'task list', 'roadmap'.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Specificity | The description names the domain ('coding task') and one action ('generate a clear, actionable, and atomic checklist'), but 'clear, actionable, and atomic' are quality adjectives rather than concrete distinct actions. It doesn't list multiple specific capabilities. | 2 / 3 |
Completeness | The description 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 the 'Use when...' clause present. | 3 / 3 |
Trigger Term Quality | Includes some relevant 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 | The focus on coding task planning checklists is somewhat specific, but 'plan for a coding task' could overlap with general project management skills, code generation skills, or task management tools. The niche isn't sharply defined enough to avoid all conflicts. | 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 with a ready-to-use template. The workflow is logically sequenced, the checklist guidelines are specific and useful, and the content respects token efficiency throughout. The limitations section adds appropriate guardrails.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The skill is lean and efficient. Every section serves a purpose, there's no explanation of concepts Claude already knows, and the template is compact yet complete. | 3 / 3 |
Actionability | 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 clear, specific formatting rules rather than vague advice. | 3 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | The three-step workflow (Scan Context → Minimal Interaction → Generate Plan) is clearly sequenced and unambiguous. The plan template itself includes a validation step. For a non-destructive planning skill, this level of clarity is sufficient. | 3 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | For a skill under 50 lines with a single purpose, the content is well-organized into logical sections (Workflow, Template, Guidelines, Limitations) without needing external references. Navigation is straightforward. | 3 / 3 |
