Quality
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 concise and specific about its capabilities, clearly identifying the domain (iMessage/SMS) and concrete actions (listing chats, viewing history, sending messages). Its main weaknesses are the lack of an explicit 'Use when...' clause and missing common user trigger terms like 'text message' or 'texting'. Adding these would make it significantly more effective for skill selection.
Suggestions
Add a 'Use when...' clause, e.g., 'Use when the user wants to send or read text messages, check iMessage conversations, or interact with Messages.app.'
Include additional natural trigger terms users would say, such as 'text message', 'texting', 'send a text', 'conversation history', or 'read messages'.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Specificity | Lists multiple specific concrete actions: 'listing chats', 'history', and 'sending messages'. Also specifies the tool ('Messages.app') and interface type ('CLI'). | 3 / 3 |
Completeness | Clearly answers 'what does this do' (listing chats, history, sending messages via CLI), but lacks an explicit 'Use when...' clause or trigger guidance for when Claude should select this skill. | 2 / 3 |
Trigger Term Quality | Includes good terms like 'iMessage', 'SMS', 'chats', 'messages', and 'Messages.app', but misses common user variations like 'text message', 'texting', 'send a text', or 'conversation history'. | 2 / 3 |
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk | Very distinct niche — iMessage/SMS via Messages.app CLI is highly specific and unlikely to conflict with other skills. The combination of messaging platform and CLI interface creates a clear identity. | 3 / 3 |
Total | 10 / 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 skill that efficiently teaches CLI usage for iMessage/SMS. It provides concrete, executable commands with realistic examples, clear disambiguation from other messaging tools, and appropriate safety guardrails with a confirmation workflow. The content is concise without sacrificing clarity.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The skill is lean and efficient. It doesn't explain what iMessage is or how Messages.app works. The 'When NOT to Use' section adds value by disambiguating from other messaging channels. Every section earns its place. | 3 / 3 |
Actionability | All commands are concrete, copy-paste ready bash commands with realistic arguments. The example workflow shows a complete end-to-end flow with actual jq filtering and specific flags. | 3 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | The example workflow clearly sequences the steps: find chat → confirm with user → send after confirmation. The safety rules serve as validation checkpoints (confirm recipient, verify file path). For a CLI tool skill, this is appropriately thorough. | 3 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | For a skill under 80 lines covering a single CLI tool, the content is well-organized into logical sections (when to use, commands, safety, workflow) without needing external references. No monolithic walls of text. | 3 / 3 |
