Quality

Content

87%Weight 40%Scale 1-3

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

The content is lean and highly actionable, naming specific tools with real parameters and a concrete token budget, organized into clear sections appropriate for a simple skill. Its only gap is the absence of an explicit validation/confirmation checkpoint in the debug workflow.

Suggestions

Add a verification step to the workflow, e.g. before proposing a fix, confirm the root cause by tracing the affected flow end-to-end with get_flow.

Note how to handle the case where get_minimal_context or detect_changes_tool returns nothing relevant, so the agent has a clear fallback.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

The body is a lean ~24 lines with no concept explanations Claude already knows: a numbered tool list, brief tips, and tight token-efficiency rules, matching the score-3 anchor of every token earning its place.

3 / 3

Actionability

It names concrete tools with real parameters (e.g. "query_graph_tool with callers_of and callees_of", "detail_level=\"minimal\"\"") and a measurable target (\"≤5 tool calls and ≤800 total output tokens\"), giving executable guidance rather than pseudocode.

3 / 3

Workflow Clarity

Steps 1–5 form a clear investigative sequence, but there is no explicit validation checkpoint confirming the suspected root cause before acting, so it lands at the score-2 anchor of "steps listed but checkpoints missing or implicit".

2 / 3

Progressive Disclosure

This is a simple single-purpose skill under 50 lines with no bundle files and no need for external references; it is organized into clear sections (Steps, Tips, Token Efficiency Rules), which the scoring notes allow to score 3.

Description

50%Weight 40%Scale 1-3

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 is concise and names a clear domain, but it lists only one high-level action, leans on technical jargon for its triggers, and lacks any explicit "Use when..." guidance. It is competent but falls short of the strongest examples on every dimension.

Suggestions

Add concrete actions beyond the single "debug issues" phrase, e.g. "trace call chains, find root causes, assess impact of recent changes".

Append an explicit trigger clause such as "Use when debugging a bug, tracing how code executes, or finding what caused a recent change".

Soften the jargon so natural user phrasing appears, e.g. pair "graph-powered code navigation" with everyday terms like "trace calls" or "find the root cause".

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Quotes "Systematically debug issues" and "graph-powered code navigation" name the domain and a core action, but only a single high-level action is given rather than multiple concrete actions (e.g. "extract text, fill forms, merge documents"), so it falls short of the score-3 anchor.

2 / 3

Completeness

It states what the skill does ("Systematically debug issues using graph-powered code navigation") but has no "Use when..." clause or equivalent explicit trigger, which the guidelines say caps completeness at 2.

2 / 3

Trigger Term Quality

"debug issues" is natural user language, but "graph-powered code navigation" is inside-baseball jargon a user would rarely say; common variations like "find the cause of a bug" or "trace a call chain" are missing, matching the score-2 anchor.

2 / 3

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

The "graph-powered" qualifier gives a distinct niche, yet "debug issues" is generic enough that this could still overlap with general code-reading or debugging skills, matching the score-2 anchor.
