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, distinctive niche (Philips Hue control via OpenHue CLI) but lacks explicit trigger guidance and specific action verbs. It tells Claude what domain it covers but not when to use it or what specific operations are available.
Suggestions
Add a 'Use when...' clause with trigger terms like 'turn on lights', 'change light color', 'smart home', 'Hue', 'lighting control'
List specific concrete actions such as 'turn lights on/off, adjust brightness, change colors, activate scenes, list available lights'
Include common user phrases like 'smart lights', 'home automation', 'bulbs', 'dim the lights' to improve trigger term coverage
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Specificity | Names the domain (Philips Hue lights) and mentions 'lights and scenes' as targets, but doesn't list specific concrete actions like 'turn on/off', 'adjust brightness', 'change colors', or 'create scenes'. | 2 / 3 |
Completeness | Describes what it does (control Hue lights via OpenHue CLI) 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 good keywords like 'Philips Hue', 'lights', and 'scenes', but misses common variations users might say like 'smart lights', 'home lighting', 'bulbs', 'brightness', 'colors', or 'turn on/off lights'. | 2 / 3 |
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk | Very clear niche - specifically targets Philips Hue lights via OpenHue CLI, which is unlikely to conflict with other skills. The brand name and specific tool create strong distinctiveness. | 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.
Excellent skill content that is concise, actionable, and well-structured. The clear scoping sections help Claude know exactly when to apply this skill, and the command examples are comprehensive and immediately usable. The quick presets section adds practical value without bloat.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | Lean and efficient with no unnecessary explanations. Every section serves a purpose with concrete commands. No padding about what Hue is or how smart home systems work. | 3 / 3 |
Actionability | Fully executable, copy-paste ready commands throughout. Specific examples for every use case including brightness values, temperature ranges, and color options. | 3 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | This is a simple, single-task skill (CLI command reference). Commands are clearly organized by category (list, control lights, rooms, scenes) with unambiguous usage patterns. No multi-step destructive operations requiring validation. | 3 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | Well-organized sections with clear headers. Content is appropriately sized for a single file (~80 lines). The 'When to Use' and 'When NOT to Use' sections provide excellent scoping without needing external references. | 3 / 3 |
Total | 12 / 12 Passed |
