Discovery
67%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 strong on specificity and distinctiveness, clearly naming the tool, platform, and supported operations. However, it lacks an explicit 'Use when...' clause which caps completeness, and the trigger terms lean toward technical CLI terminology rather than natural user language like 'todo', 'task', or 'set a reminder'.
Suggestions
Add a 'Use when...' clause, e.g., 'Use when the user wants to manage Apple Reminders, create todos, check tasks, or interact with the Reminders app from the command line.'
Include natural user-facing trigger terms like 'todo', 'task', 'reminder', 'to-do list', 'set a reminder', 'check my reminders' alongside the technical CLI name.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Specificity | Lists multiple specific concrete actions: list, add, edit, complete, delete. Also mentions specific features like lists, date filters, and output formats (JSON/plain). | 3 / 3 |
Completeness | Clearly answers 'what' (manage Apple Reminders via remindctl CLI with specific operations), but lacks an explicit 'Use when...' clause specifying when Claude should select this skill. | 2 / 3 |
Trigger Term Quality | Includes good terms like 'Reminders', 'remindctl', 'list', 'add', 'complete', 'delete', but misses natural user phrases like 'todo', 'task', 'reminder app', 'to-do list', or 'set a reminder'. Users may not know the CLI tool name 'remindctl'. | 2 / 3 |
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk | Very distinct niche: Apple Reminders management via a specific CLI tool (remindctl). Unlikely to conflict with other skills due to the specific platform (Apple) and tool name. | 3 / 3 |

Implementation
85%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-crafted CLI reference skill with excellent actionability—every command is concrete and executable. The 'When to Use / When NOT to Use' disambiguation section is a thoughtful addition for a tool that could be confused with other reminder/alert mechanisms, though it's slightly verbose. Overall, the skill is well-structured, appropriately scoped, and immediately useful.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The 'When to Use' and 'When NOT to Use' sections add useful disambiguation but are somewhat verbose. The clarifying intent example at the bottom is helpful but could be tighter. The core command reference is lean and efficient. | 2 / 3 |
Actionability | Every command is concrete, copy-paste ready, and covers the full range of operations (view, create, complete, delete, list management). Setup instructions are specific with exact brew install command and authorization steps. | 3 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | This is a simple CLI tool skill where each command is a single action, not a multi-step destructive workflow. The commands are clearly categorized and sequenced logically (setup → view → manage lists → create → complete/delete → output formats). The intent clarification example adds a useful decision checkpoint. | 3 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | For a skill of this size and scope, the content is well-organized into clear sections with logical groupings. No external references are needed as the content is appropriately scoped. Headers make navigation easy. | 3 / 3 |
