Discovery
0%Based on the skill's description, can an agent find and select it at the right time? Clear, specific descriptions lead to better discovery.
This description is far too vague to be useful for skill selection. It fails to specify concrete actions, lacks natural trigger terms, provides no guidance on when to use the skill, and is so generic it would conflict with many other skills.
Suggestions
List specific concrete actions the skill performs, e.g., 'Performs arithmetic calculations, reads/writes .txt files, counts words, computes statistics'.
Add an explicit 'Use when...' clause with natural trigger terms, e.g., 'Use when the user needs simple math operations, file reading/writing, or text processing in Python'.
Narrow the scope to reduce conflict risk — specify what kinds of math (e.g., basic arithmetic, statistics) and what text file operations (e.g., parsing CSV, counting lines) are supported.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Specificity | The description is extremely vague — 'small Python utilities' and 'math and text files' do not describe any concrete actions. There are no specific capabilities listed like 'calculate', 'parse', 'read', or 'write'. | 1 / 3 |
Completeness | The description weakly addresses 'what' (utilities for math and text files) and completely omits 'when' — there is no 'Use when...' clause or any explicit trigger guidance. | 1 / 3 |
Trigger Term Quality | The terms 'math' and 'text files' are overly generic and unlikely to be the natural keywords a user would say when needing this skill. 'Python utilities' is also too broad to serve as a useful trigger. | 1 / 3 |
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk | 'Python utilities for math and text files' is extremely generic and would conflict with virtually any Python-related skill, any math skill, or any file-handling skill. | 1 / 3 |
Total | 4 / 12 Passed |
Implementation
52%Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.
This is a minimal skill that is concise but lacks depth. The examples are partially actionable but reference a script (scripts/fib.py) that doesn't exist in the bundle, and the second example is incomplete regarding input handling. The skill would benefit from validation steps, complete executable examples, and either providing the referenced scripts or removing references to them.
Suggestions
Add a validation/verification step after running scripts, e.g., 'Verify output: cat out/fib.txt' to confirm expected results.
Either include the referenced scripts/fib.py in the bundle or provide its complete source inline so the example is fully executable.
Complete the second example by showing how to pipe input (e.g., 'echo "1 2 3 4 5" | python3 - <<...').
Add a brief error handling note, e.g., what to do if the script fails or produces unexpected output.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The content is lean and doesn't explain concepts Claude already knows. Every line serves a purpose—no padding about what Python is or how scripts work. | 3 / 3 |
Actionability | The examples provide concrete commands (python3 scripts/fib.py, heredoc usage), but the second example lacks a complete invocation showing how input is piped in. The fib.py script is referenced but not provided, and there's no executable code for the script itself. | 2 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | There is no clear workflow sequence—just isolated examples with no validation steps, no error handling guidance, and no feedback loops. For a skill involving file output (out/fib.txt), there's no verification step to confirm correctness. | 1 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | The content has some structure (Overview, Examples, Output Files sections), but references scripts/fib.py which isn't provided in the bundle. No bundle files exist to support the referenced paths, and there are no links to additional documentation. | 2 / 3 |
Total | 8 / 12 Passed |
