Discovery
50%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 effectively identifies specific capabilities (status, temperature, alarms, schedules) for a clearly defined product (Eight Sleep pods), making it distinctive. However, it critically lacks explicit trigger guidance ('Use when...') and could benefit from additional natural keywords users might say when needing this skill.
Suggestions
Add a 'Use when...' clause with trigger terms like 'bed temperature', 'sleep schedule', 'Eight Sleep', 'smart mattress', or 'pod settings'
Include common user phrases such as 'warm up my bed', 'set sleep alarm', 'adjust mattress temperature' to improve trigger term coverage
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Specificity | Lists multiple specific concrete actions: status, temperature, alarms, and schedules. These are distinct, actionable capabilities for controlling Eight Sleep pods. | 3 / 3 |
Completeness | Describes what it does (control Eight Sleep pods with specific functions) 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 the brand name 'Eight Sleep' and 'pods' which are relevant, but misses common variations users might say like 'smart mattress', 'bed temperature', 'sleep tracking', or 'mattress pad'. | 2 / 3 |
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk | Very clear niche - 'Eight Sleep pods' is a specific product/brand that is unlikely to conflict with other skills. The combination of brand name and specific functions creates a distinct trigger profile. | 3 / 3 |
Total | 9 / 12 Passed |
Implementation
87%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 actionable CLI commands without unnecessary explanation. The structure is clean and appropriate for a simple tool wrapper. Minor improvement could be made by adding explicit validation guidance for the noted destructive operations (temperature/alarm changes).
Suggestions
Add explicit verification steps for temperature and alarm changes (e.g., 'After `eightctl temp 20`, verify with `eightctl status`')
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | Extremely lean and efficient. No unnecessary explanations of what Eight Sleep is or how CLI tools work. Every line provides actionable information. | 3 / 3 |
Actionability | Provides concrete, copy-paste ready commands for all common operations. Commands are specific and executable (e.g., `eightctl temp 20`, `eightctl alarm list|create|dismiss`). | 3 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | For a simple CLI wrapper skill, the commands are clear, but the 'confirm before changing temperature or alarms' note suggests destructive operations without explicit validation steps or feedback loops for error handling. | 2 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | For a simple CLI skill under 50 lines, the content is well-organized with clear sections (Auth, Quick start, Common tasks, Notes). No need for external references given the scope. | 3 / 3 |
Total | 11 / 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.
