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 niche (terminal-based Spotify control) with specific tool names, making it distinctive. However, it is too terse—it lacks a 'Use when...' clause, misses many natural trigger terms users would say (e.g., 'music', 'play', 'song', 'pause'), and doesn't enumerate concrete capabilities beyond the generic 'playback/search'.
Suggestions
Add a 'Use when...' clause with explicit triggers, e.g., 'Use when the user asks to play music, control Spotify playback, search for songs/artists/albums, or manage a queue from the terminal.'
Expand the capability list with specific actions: 'Play, pause, skip, and queue tracks; search for songs, albums, artists, and playlists; control volume and shuffle.'
Include natural user terms like 'music', 'song', 'track', 'artist', 'album', 'playlist', 'pause', 'skip', 'queue' to improve trigger term coverage.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Specificity | Names the domain (Spotify) and two broad actions (playback, search) along with specific tools (spogo, spotify_player), but doesn't list concrete actions like 'play tracks', 'pause music', 'search artists', 'queue songs', etc. | 2 / 3 |
Completeness | Provides a brief 'what' (Spotify playback/search via terminal tools) but completely lacks a 'Use when...' clause or any explicit trigger guidance, which per the rubric should cap completeness at 2, and the 'what' itself is also quite thin, placing this at 1. | 1 / 3 |
Trigger Term Quality | Includes 'Spotify', 'playback', 'search', and tool names 'spogo' and 'spotify_player', but misses common user terms like 'music', 'play', 'song', 'track', 'pause', 'skip', 'queue', 'album', 'artist'. | 2 / 3 |
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk | The combination of 'Terminal', 'Spotify', and specific tool names (spogo, spotify_player) creates a very clear niche that is unlikely to conflict with other skills. | 3 / 3 |

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 an excellent, concise CLI reference skill. It provides all necessary commands in a scannable format, clearly distinguishes between the preferred and fallback tools, and avoids any unnecessary explanation. The content is well-structured for quick lookup during task execution.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | Very lean and efficient. No unnecessary explanations of what Spotify is or how CLI tools work. Every line provides actionable reference information. | 3 / 3 |
Actionability | Provides specific, copy-paste ready CLI commands for all common operations (search, playback, device management, status). The auth setup command is concrete and executable. | 3 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | This is a simple, single-purpose skill (CLI reference for Spotify control). The single-task nature is unambiguous, with clear preference ordering (spogo preferred, spotify_player fallback) and setup steps. | 3 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | For a skill under 50 lines with no need for external references, the content is well-organized into logical sections (setup, commands for each tool, notes). No unnecessary nesting or monolithic blocks. | 3 / 3 |
Total | 12 / 12 Passed |
