Quality

Content

82%Weight 40%Scale 1-5

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

A lean, actionable instruction body that respects the token budget and gives concrete create-vs-update guidance with a verification step. Adding a feedback loop for failed verification and light sectioning would push it higher.

Suggestions

Add a short feedback loop: describe what to do when a documented command fails verification (e.g., correct it or remove it before finalizing AGENTS.md) to lift workflow_clarity to 5.

Split the create-vs-update handling into two brief subsections or a short list so the two paths are visually distinct, improving progressive_disclosure organization.

Include one or two concrete examples of what durable guidance looks like (e.g., a sample build command line) to strengthen actionability without adding padding.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

The body is roughly 60 words with no concept padding; every sentence carries durable, non-obvious guidance, matching the lean and efficient anchor 5.

5 / 5

Actionability

It lists concrete capture categories (structure, build/test commands, style rules, validation, safety), explicit create-vs-update logic, and a verification step, though no example commands are given since they are repo-dependent.

4 / 5

Workflow Clarity

The inspect-capture-create/update-verify sequence is clear with an explicit validation checkpoint, but there is no feedback loop describing what to do when verification fails, so it does not reach anchor 5.

4 / 5

Progressive Disclosure

The single heading plus two short paragraphs is well organized for a sub-50-line simple skill, but the structure is minimal with only one section, leaving minor organization gaps short of anchor 5.

Description

78%Weight 40%Scale 1-5

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

A strong, concise description that answers both what and when with concrete, natural trigger phrases. Minor room to broaden trigger synonyms and detail more specific actions.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

"Create or refresh an AGENTS.md project instruction file" names 1-2 concrete actions and a concrete artifact, but the coverage is not comprehensive enough to reach anchor 4.

3 / 5

Completeness

It clearly states what it does (create or refresh an AGENTS.md file) and gives an explicit "Use when..." clause with concrete trigger phrases, satisfying the anchor 5 requirement.

5 / 5

Trigger Term Quality

Triggers like "starting work in a repository", "onboarding an agent", "invokes /init", and "initialize project guidance" are natural phrases users would say, though a few synonyms and file extensions are missing.

4 / 5

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

The /init invocation and AGENTS.md artifact carve a distinct niche, but "starting work in a repository" and "onboarding an agent" carry minor overlap with general exploration skills.
