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 effectively communicates specific capabilities of the mcporter CLI tool with good technical detail and clear distinctiveness. However, it lacks an explicit 'Use when...' clause and relies heavily on technical jargon that users may not naturally use when requesting help, which could reduce discoverability.
Suggestions
Add an explicit 'Use when...' clause, e.g., 'Use when the user needs to interact with MCP servers, configure tool connections, or generate CLI commands for MCP protocols.'
Include more natural trigger terms users might say, such as 'connect to external tools', 'server configuration', or 'tool authentication'.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Specificity | Lists multiple specific concrete actions: 'list, configure, auth, and call MCP servers/tools', 'ad-hoc servers, config edits, and CLI/type generation'. These are concrete, actionable capabilities. | 3 / 3 |
Completeness | Clearly answers 'what' (list, configure, auth, call MCP servers/tools, config edits, CLI/type generation) but lacks an explicit 'Use when...' clause. The 'when' is only implied through the capabilities listed. | 2 / 3 |
Trigger Term Quality | Includes relevant technical terms like 'mcporter', 'MCP servers', 'stdio', 'HTTP', but these are fairly technical. Missing more natural user phrases like 'connect to tools' or 'manage server connections'. Users may not naturally say 'mcporter' unless they already know the tool. | 2 / 3 |
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk | Very specific niche around 'mcporter CLI' and 'MCP servers/tools'. The combination of the specific tool name and MCP protocol focus makes it highly unlikely to conflict with other skills. | 3 / 3 |

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 an excellent CLI reference skill that maximizes token efficiency while providing concrete, executable commands. The content assumes Claude's competence and focuses purely on mcporter-specific syntax. Minor weakness is the lack of workflow guidance for common multi-step scenarios like initial setup or auth-then-call sequences.
Suggestions
Add a brief workflow example showing typical first-time setup: config -> auth -> call sequence
Consider adding a troubleshooting note for common auth or daemon issues
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | Extremely lean and efficient - pure command reference with no unnecessary explanation. Every line is actionable CLI syntax that Claude wouldn't inherently know. | 3 / 3 |
Actionability | Fully concrete with copy-paste ready commands covering all major use cases. Multiple syntax variations shown (selector, function, URL, stdio, JSON) with real examples. | 3 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | Commands are clearly listed but no workflow sequencing for multi-step operations. Missing guidance on when to use daemon vs direct calls, or typical auth-then-call workflows. | 2 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | Appropriate for a CLI reference skill - well-organized sections by function (call, auth, daemon, codegen). Under 50 lines with no need for external references; structure is clear and navigable. | 3 / 3 |
Total | 11 / 12 Passed |
