Quality

Content

65%

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

The content is highly actionable with strong executable examples and a clear upgrade sequence, but it leans monolithic and lacks an explicit validation feedback loop. Splitting per-SDK detail into reference files and adding a test-then-fix loop would improve it.

Suggestions

Add an explicit validation feedback loop: after testing with the Stripe-Version header, instruct to review changelog-flagged breaking changes, fix handlers, and re-test before promoting the new default version.

Move the Stripe.js and Mobile SDK detail sections into separate reference files (e.g., references/stripejs.md, references/mobile-sdk.md) and keep SKILL.md as a concise overview with one-level-deep links.

Reduce inline time-sensitive version duplication by defining the target version once and referencing it, or relocate deprecated versions to an "old patterns" section.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

The body is mostly efficient and assumes competence, but time-sensitive version strings (e.g., "2026-06-24.dahlia") are hardcoded inline throughout rather than isolated, and some general explanations could be tightened.

2 / 3

Actionability

Provides fully executable, copy-paste-ready code across Python, Ruby, JavaScript, curl, npm, and pip, plus a concrete upgrade checklist with specific commands.

3 / 3

Workflow Clarity

A numbered upgrade checklist and a testing section give a clear sequence, but there is no explicit validate→fix→retry feedback loop for catching breaking-change failures.

2 / 3

Progressive Disclosure

Sections are well-organized with clearly signaled external Stripe doc links, but the content is a single monolithic file over 50 lines with no bundle files splitting the per-SDK detail.

Description

57%

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 identifies a focused Stripe-upgrade niche but is terse and omits explicit trigger guidance. Adding a "Use when..." clause with broader trigger terms would lift completeness and trigger_term_quality.

Suggestions

Add an explicit "Use when..." trigger clause (e.g., "Use when upgrading Stripe API versions, migrating SDKs, or handling Stripe breaking changes").

Expand trigger terms to cover natural phrasings users say, such as "update Stripe", "Stripe API migration", "Stripe SDK upgrade", or "Stripe breaking changes".

List a couple more concrete actions (e.g., "update apiVersion, bump SDK packages, adapt webhook handlers") to strengthen specificity.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Names the domain and a concrete action ("upgrading Stripe API versions and SDKs") but does not enumerate multiple specific actions like the top anchor requires.

2 / 3

Completeness

It states what the skill does (a guide for upgrading) but provides no "Use when..." trigger clause, which caps completeness at 2 per the judging guidelines.

2 / 3

Trigger Term Quality

Includes relevant natural terms ("upgrading", "Stripe", "API versions", "SDKs") but lacks common variations a user might say, so coverage is partial.

2 / 3

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

The Stripe version/SDK upgrade niche is specific and unlikely to be confused with other skills, satisfying the clear-niche anchor.
