expert-sdd-creator

Meta skill for creating new SDD experts from domain documentation. Provide a markdown file path with domain knowledge + optional steering context. Automatically synthesizes references, generates signal scripts, validates, and registers in experts.md/signals.md catalogs. Single-prompt creation with follow-up tweaks. Triggers - create expert, new expert, make expert, expert for, domain expert, add expert (project)

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

A well-structured, mostly lean instruction skill with a clear multi-step workflow, concrete validation/registration commands, and good progressive disclosure to real reference files. It could improve by making the validate-fix-retry feedback loop explicit and reducing placeholder reliance in generated templates.

Suggestions

Make the validation feedback loop explicit in step 6 (e.g., 'If validation fails, fix the reported issues and re-run validate_expert.sh before registering') to reach a 5 on workflow_clarity.

Replace some placeholder-driven steps (e.g., '{domain} expertise with signal capability') with a concrete filled-in example expert so the generation guidance is copy-paste ready.

Tighten descriptive synthesis steps like 'Extract key topics and organize into separate reference files' into concrete heuristics or a worked example to lift actionability.

Dimension	Reasoning	Score
Conciseness	Mostly efficient with tables, code blocks, and a numbered process that assume Claude's competence; a few descriptive sentences ('Extract key topics and organize into separate reference files') could be tightened but there is no significant padding or over-explanation of known concepts.	4 / 5
Actionability	Provides concrete executable commands (validate_expert.sh, register_expert.sh), a directory-structure template, and a YAML frontmatter template, but generated-content steps rely on placeholders ({name}, {domain}) and 'TODOs for customization', leaving minor gaps.	4 / 5
Workflow Clarity	A clearly sequenced 7-step process with a validation checkpoint before registration and an enumerated validation-checks list; however the error-recovery feedback loop (validate -> fix -> retry) is only implicit rather than explicit, stopping short of a 5.	4 / 5
Progressive Disclosure	The body is an overview that points to three real one-level-deep reference files (expert-structure.md, catalog-formats.md, signal-patterns.md) with clear '→ See' navigation, and the bundle structure confirms these paths exist.	5 / 5

Description

87%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 description that explicitly covers what the skill does and when to use it with concrete trigger phrases and a distinct niche. The only blemish is the second-person imperative phrasing ('Provide a markdown file path') which mildly weakens voice consistency.

Dimension	Reasoning	Score
Specificity	Lists several concrete actions ('synthesizes references, generates signal scripts, validates, and registers in experts.md/signals.md catalogs') with comprehensive coverage, but the imperative 'Provide a markdown file path' is second-person voice, which per the guidelines reduces the specificity score by one from a clear 5.	4 / 5
Completeness	Clearly answers both 'what' (creates SDD experts from domain docs, synthesizes/generates/validates/registers) and 'when' with explicit concrete trigger phrases via the 'Triggers - ...' clause.	5 / 5
Trigger Term Quality	Includes natural phrases a user would say ('create expert, new expert, make expert, expert for, domain expert, add expert') giving good keyword coverage, though a few synonymous natural phrasings are missing and no file-extension-style triggers apply.	4 / 5
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk	Occupies a clear niche (creating SDD experts) with distinct, specific triggers and minimal overlap risk with other skills.	5 / 5
