skiplagged-travel-search

This skill should be used when the user asks to "find flights", "compare itineraries", "search hidden-city routes", "check cheapest dates", "explore destinations anywhere", "search hotels", or "plan a trip". Ground outputs in Skiplagged MCP tool results for flights, fare calendars, anywhere discovery, and hotels.

Quality

Discovery

72%

Based on the skill's description, can an agent find and select it at the right time? Clear, specific descriptions lead to better discovery.

This description excels at trigger terms and distinctiveness, providing excellent natural language phrases users would say and unique identifiers like 'Skiplagged' and 'hidden-city routes'. However, it's structured backwards - leading with 'when' rather than 'what' - and lacks concrete capability descriptions beyond referencing tool outputs.

Suggestions

Restructure to lead with concrete capabilities: 'Searches for flights, compares itineraries, discovers hidden-city routes, checks fare calendars, and finds hotels using Skiplagged.'

Add specific actions the skill performs rather than just listing trigger phrases, e.g., 'Finds cheapest flight options, displays fare calendars across date ranges, discovers budget destinations worldwide.'

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

The description names the domain (travel/flights) and mentions some actions like 'find flights', 'compare itineraries', 'search hotels', but doesn't list concrete capabilities of what the skill actually does beyond referencing tool results.

2 / 3

Completeness

The 'when' is well-covered with explicit trigger phrases, but the 'what' is weak - it only says to 'ground outputs in Skiplagged MCP tool results' without explaining what capabilities or actions the skill provides.

2 / 3

Trigger Term Quality

Excellent coverage of natural user phrases: 'find flights', 'compare itineraries', 'search hidden-city routes', 'check cheapest dates', 'explore destinations anywhere', 'search hotels', 'plan a trip' - these are terms users would naturally say.

3 / 3

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

Highly distinctive with specific triggers like 'hidden-city routes', 'Skiplagged', 'fare calendars', and 'anywhere discovery' that clearly differentiate it from generic travel skills.

Implementation

85%

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

This is a strong, well-structured skill that provides clear, actionable guidance for travel search operations. The workflows are comprehensive with good validation checkpoints and failure handling. Minor verbosity in the operating rules section and some repeated concepts prevent a perfect conciseness score, but overall the skill effectively balances completeness with clarity.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

The skill is reasonably efficient but includes some redundant explanations (e.g., explaining what 'grounding' means, restating validation concepts multiple times). The operating rules section could be tightened, and some workflow steps repeat similar guidance.

2 / 3

Actionability

Provides concrete, specific guidance throughout: exact tool names, parameter examples (IATA codes, result limits like 3-7), clear step sequences, and specific output formats (clusters by cheapest/fastest/fewest stops). Instructions are directly executable.

3 / 3

Workflow Clarity

Excellent multi-step workflows with clear sequencing (A through E), explicit validation loops (post-call validation, failure handling), and decision points. The troubleshooting section provides clear retry limits and escalation paths.

3 / 3

Progressive Disclosure

Well-structured with clear sections (Overview, Prerequisites, Operating Rules, Workflows). References setup.md for client-specific details. Content is appropriately organized with workflows separated by use case, making navigation easy.
