Quality

Content

100%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 body is concise, highly actionable, and well-structured, with explicit validation checkpoints for a risky operation. It is a strong, lean skill body that fully respects the token budget while giving copy-paste-ready tool guidance.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

The body is lean and token-efficient, with concrete tool invocations and no explanatory padding of concepts Claude already knows; the only mild fluff is the intro phrase 'with confidence', which does not materially inflate the content.

3 / 3

Actionability

It provides specific, executable guidance with concrete tool names and parameters (e.g., '`refactor_tool` with mode="rename"', '`get_minimal_context(task="<your task>")`'), matching 'Fully executable code/commands; specific examples; copy-paste ready'.

3 / 3

Workflow Clarity

A clear 5-step sequence is paired with explicit validation checkpoints ('Always preview before applying', 'run `detect_changes_tool` to verify the refactoring impact'), satisfying the 'Clear sequence with explicit validation steps' anchor for a risky refactoring operation.

3 / 3

Progressive Disclosure

The skill is under 50 lines with no external references and is organized into clear sections (Steps, Safety Checks, Token Efficiency Rules), which the rubric permits to score 3 for simple skills without bundle files.

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 clearly identifies the refactoring domain and mentions dependency analysis, but it is generic and lacks an explicit 'Use when' trigger clause or comprehensive concrete actions. It communicates intent but would benefit from natural-language triggers.

Suggestions

Add a 'Use when...' clause with natural user phrases such as 'when the user asks to refactor, rename, or restructure code safely'.

List concrete actions (e.g., 'find dead code, preview renames, analyze impact radius') to raise specificity.

Include common trigger variations like 'restructure', 'clean up code', or 'rename symbols' to improve trigger term coverage.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Names the domain ('safe refactoring') and some actions ('Plan and execute', 'using dependency analysis') but does not enumerate multiple concrete actions, matching the 'Names domain and some actions, but not comprehensive' anchor.

2 / 3

Completeness

It states what the skill does but provides no 'Use when...' clause or equivalent explicit trigger guidance, so per the judging guidelines completeness is capped at 2.

2 / 3

Trigger Term Quality

'refactoring' is a natural user term, but 'dependency analysis' is technical jargon and common variations (e.g., 'rename', 'restructure', 'clean up code') are absent, fitting 'Some relevant keywords but missing common variations'.

2 / 3

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

The 'safe refactoring using dependency analysis' niche is somewhat specific and unlikely to broadly conflict, but the absence of explicit distinct triggers leaves it overlapping with general code-editing skills.
