Discovery
40%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 identifies a specific tool (blogwatcher CLI) and domain (RSS/Atom feeds) which provides good distinctiveness, but lacks completeness by omitting explicit trigger guidance. The specificity could be improved by listing concrete actions beyond just 'monitor for updates'.
Suggestions
Add a 'Use when...' clause with trigger terms like 'RSS', 'feed updates', 'blog monitoring', 'subscribe to feeds', or 'check for new posts'
Expand the capabilities list with specific actions such as 'subscribe to feeds, check for new posts, list feed entries, filter updates by date or keyword'
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Specificity | Names the domain (blogs, RSS/Atom feeds) and a general action (monitor for updates), but doesn't list multiple specific concrete actions like subscribing, filtering, alerting, or parsing feed content. | 2 / 3 |
Completeness | Describes what it does (monitor blogs/feeds) but completely lacks a 'Use when...' clause or any explicit trigger guidance for when Claude should select this skill. | 1 / 3 |
Trigger Term Quality | Includes relevant keywords like 'blogs', 'RSS', 'Atom', and 'feeds' that users might say, but misses common variations like 'subscribe', 'news feeds', 'syndication', or 'feed reader'. | 2 / 3 |
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk | The specific mention of 'blogwatcher CLI' and focus on RSS/Atom feeds creates a clear niche that is unlikely to conflict with other skills; this is a distinct tool for a specific purpose. | 3 / 3 |
Total | 8 / 12 Passed |
Implementation
100%Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.
This is an excellent, well-crafted skill that demonstrates ideal conciseness and actionability. It provides all necessary commands with concrete examples and expected outputs, without any unnecessary explanation of concepts Claude already knows. The structure is appropriate for the skill's simplicity.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | Extremely lean and efficient. No unnecessary explanations of what RSS feeds are or how CLI tools work. Every line provides actionable information. | 3 / 3 |
Actionability | Provides complete, copy-paste ready commands for all common operations. Installation command is specific, and example outputs show exactly what to expect. | 3 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | For this simple CLI tool, the workflow is implicit but clear: add blogs → scan → view articles → mark read. No destructive operations requiring validation checkpoints. | 3 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | Appropriately structured for a simple skill under 50 lines. Clear sections (Install, Quick start, Common commands, Example output, Notes) with no need for external references. | 3 / 3 |
Total | 12 / 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.
