Quality

Content

65%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.

The body is a lean, well-structured overview that correctly delegates implementation detail to a real one-level-deep reference file. Its weakness is that the Check/Explain/Code Review sections give high-level direction without any concrete verification method (command, selector, or example HTML) inline, and the workflow lacks an explicit validation checkpoint for confirming the rendered output.

Suggestions

Add a concrete verification step to the Check section, e.g. `curl -s https://example.com/article | grep -i 'rel="author"'` or a CSS/HTML selector to look for, so Claude can execute the check without opening the reference.

Make the workflow sequence explicit and add a validation checkpoint, e.g. '1. Fetch the rendered page 2. Locate the byline in the rendered HTML 3. Verify the author link resolves to a real bio page' rather than loosely titled sections.

Surface the pointer to references/rule.md earlier (e.g. in a Quick Reference line) so Claude knows where the code example lives before reading the full body.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

The ~30-line body is terse with well-scoped sections; only the E-E-A-T intro sentence ("A visible author byline is a critical E-E-A-T signal...") and the 'Code Review' section, which repeats the frontmatter description, explain things Claude already knows. Efficient with minor trimming possible.

4 / 5

Actionability

The Fix section gives concrete elements ("the author's name, role, and a link to their profile") but Check, Explain, and Code Review are directive without any verification method — no curl command, selector, or HTML example appears in the body, leaving the executable guidance in references/rule.md. Some concrete guidance, but incomplete for executing the check itself.

3 / 5

Workflow Clarity

Check → Fix → Explain → Code Review implies a rough sequence, but the sequence is implicit (unnumbered, unordered steps) and there is no validation checkpoint for the verification step — e.g. how to confirm the rendered page actually displays the byline. This matches 'steps present but checkpoints missing or implicit'.

3 / 5

Progressive Disclosure

The body is a short, well-organized overview with a clearly signaled one-level-deep reference — "For full implementation details, code examples, and framework-specific guidance, see references/rule.md" — and the referenced file exists and holds the code example. Content is appropriately split and easy to navigate.

Description

66%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.

The description has an explicit 'Use when' trigger, natural audit vocabulary, and a concrete verification directive, but it reads like templated boilerplate: the trigger terms are broad enough to collide with sibling SEO skills, and it never states the skill's actual outcomes (check bylines, add author sections with name/role/profile link).

Suggestions

Replace the awkward 'related to Display clear author bylines' clause with a leading statement of what the skill does, e.g. 'Check that articles display a visible author byline with name, role, and a link to the author's bio page.'

Narrow the trigger to byline-specific terms (e.g. 'author bylines, author attribution, E-E-A-T signals, author bio pages') instead of the generic 'metadata, crawlability, structured data, or indexability' list shared by many SEO skills.

Include the natural synonym 'SEO' among the trigger keywords, since users auditing SEO issues would phrase the request that way.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

The description names the domain and two action types — "auditing metadata, crawlability, structured data, or indexability" (one generic verb over four areas) and "Verify the rendered HTML and HTTP response" — matching the 'names domain and 1-2 concrete actions, not comprehensive' anchor. It never states concrete outcomes such as checking for visible bylines, adding author sections, or linking bio pages.

3 / 5

Completeness

Both what and when are present: "Use when auditing metadata, crawlability..." is an explicit trigger, and "Verify the rendered HTML and HTTP response rather than relying only on source files" states what the skill does. The 'what' is narrow and the clause "related to Display clear author bylines" is awkwardly phrased, keeping it below a 5.

4 / 5

Trigger Term Quality

Natural audit keywords are well covered: "metadata", "crawlability", "structured data", "indexability", "rendered HTML", "HTTP response", "author bylines". A few natural terms users would say are missing, such as "SEO", "author attribution", or "E-E-A-T".

4 / 5

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

The trigger phrase "auditing metadata, crawlability, structured data, or indexability" is broad and would equally fire for many sibling SEO-rule skills using the same boilerplate; the qualifier "related to Display clear author bylines" disambiguates but is tacked on, matching 'somewhat specific but could still overlap with similar skills'.
