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 clear niche tool (blogwatcher CLI for RSS/Atom feed monitoring) which makes it distinctive, but it lacks a 'Use when...' clause and lists only a single action rather than enumerating specific capabilities. Adding explicit trigger guidance and more concrete actions would significantly improve skill selection accuracy.
Suggestions
Add a 'Use when...' clause with trigger terms like 'Use when the user wants to track blog updates, subscribe to RSS feeds, check for new posts, or manage feed subscriptions using blogwatcher.'
List more specific actions the skill supports, e.g., 'Add and remove feeds, check for new posts, list monitored sources, configure update intervals.'
Include common user-facing synonyms like 'news feeds', 'subscribe', 'feed reader', 'new posts', 'syndication' to improve trigger term coverage.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Specificity | Names the domain (blogs, RSS/Atom feeds) and one action (monitor for updates), and mentions the specific tool (blogwatcher CLI), but doesn't list multiple concrete actions like adding feeds, filtering, configuring alerts, etc. | 2 / 3 |
Completeness | Describes what it does (monitor blogs and feeds) but has no explicit 'Use when...' clause or equivalent trigger guidance, which per the rubric should cap completeness at 2, and since the 'when' is entirely missing, it scores 1. | 1 / 3 |
Trigger Term Quality | Includes relevant keywords like 'blogs', 'RSS', 'Atom', 'feeds', and 'blogwatcher CLI', but misses common user variations like 'subscribe', 'news feeds', 'feed reader', 'check for new posts', or 'syndication'. | 2 / 3 |
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk | The combination of 'blogwatcher CLI', 'RSS/Atom feeds', and blog monitoring creates a very clear niche that is unlikely to conflict with other skills. | 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 a well-crafted, concise skill that provides all necessary information to use the blogwatcher CLI without any unnecessary padding. The commands are concrete and copy-paste ready, the example output helps set expectations, and the logical ordering of commands serves as an implicit workflow. A strong example of a simple skill done right.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | Every line serves a purpose—install, commands, example output. No unnecessary explanations of what RSS feeds are or how Go works. Lean and efficient. | 3 / 3 |
Actionability | Provides fully copy-paste ready commands for every common operation (add, list, scan, read, remove) with concrete examples including URLs and arguments. | 3 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | This is a simple, non-destructive CLI tool. The commands are listed in a logical sequence (add → list → scan → articles → read → remove) that naturally guides usage. No destructive/batch operations requiring validation checkpoints. | 3 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | For a simple, single-purpose CLI skill under 50 lines, the content is well-organized with clear sections (install, quick start, commands, example output, notes). No need for external references given the scope. | 3 / 3 |
Total | 12 / 12 Passed |
