Discovery
85%Based on the skill's description, can an agent find and select it at the right time? Clear, specific descriptions lead to better discovery.
This is a well-crafted skill description that clearly specifies capabilities, platform, and tool while providing explicit 'Use when' guidance. The main weakness is trigger term coverage - it could benefit from additional natural language variations users might say when wanting to work with Apple Notes.
Suggestions
Expand trigger terms to include common variations like 'Apple Notes', 'notes app', 'jot down', 'write a note', or 'save a note' to improve discoverability.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Specificity | Lists multiple specific concrete actions: 'create, view, edit, delete, search, move, and export notes'. Also specifies the tool ('memo' CLI) and platform (macOS). | 3 / 3 |
Completeness | Clearly answers both what ('Manage Apple Notes via the memo CLI...create, view, edit, delete, search, move, and export notes') and when ('Use when a user asks...to add a note, list notes, search notes, or manage note folders'). | 3 / 3 |
Trigger Term Quality | Includes natural terms like 'add a note', 'list notes', 'search notes', 'manage note folders', but missing common variations like 'Apple Notes', 'notes app', 'jot down', 'write a note', or 'save a note'. | 2 / 3 |
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk | Highly distinctive with specific triggers: Apple Notes, 'memo' CLI, macOS platform. Unlikely to conflict with generic note-taking or other document skills due to the Apple/macOS specificity. | 3 / 3 |
Total | 11 / 12 Passed |
Implementation
72%Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.
This is a well-structured, concise CLI reference that efficiently documents the memo notes commands. However, the heavy reliance on interactive prompts limits automation potential, and the skill lacks examples of expected outputs or error handling guidance that would help Claude use the tool more effectively.
Suggestions
Add examples of expected output for key commands (e.g., what `memo notes` returns, format of note listings)
Document any non-interactive flags or piping options that would enable automation without terminal prompts
Add error handling guidance for common failures (permission denied, note with attachments, folder not found)
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The content is lean and efficient, presenting only essential commands and flags without explaining what Apple Notes is or how CLI tools work. Every section delivers actionable information without padding. | 3 / 3 |
Actionability | Commands are concrete and copy-paste ready, but the interactive nature of most commands (-a, -e, -d, -m, -ex) means Claude can't fully automate workflows. Missing examples of non-interactive usage or expected outputs. | 2 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | Individual commands are clear, but there's no guidance on multi-step workflows (e.g., create then move to folder), no validation steps, and no error handling guidance for when interactive prompts fail or permissions are denied. | 2 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | For a simple CLI reference skill under 50 lines, the content is well-organized with clear section headers. No external references are needed, and the structure allows quick scanning for specific operations. | 3 / 3 |
Total | 10 / 12 Passed |
Validation
72%Checks the skill against the spec for correct structure and formatting. All validation checks must pass before discovery and implementation can be scored.
