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 and distinctive niche (terminal Spotify control via specific CLI tools) but is too terse. It lacks a 'Use when...' clause, misses many natural trigger terms users would say (music, play, song, track), and doesn't enumerate specific capabilities beyond the broad categories of 'playback' and 'search'.
Suggestions
Add a 'Use when...' clause, e.g., 'Use when the user wants to play music, control Spotify playback, search for songs/artists/albums, or manage their Spotify queue from the terminal.'
Include natural trigger terms users would say: 'music', 'play', 'song', 'track', 'artist', 'album', 'pause', 'skip', 'queue'.
List more specific actions such as 'play tracks, pause/resume, skip songs, search artists/albums/playlists, control volume, manage queue'.
| 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 specific 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 description targets a very specific niche — terminal-based Spotify control via named CLI tools (spogo, spotify_player) — which is unlikely to conflict with any other skill. | 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 a well-crafted, concise CLI reference skill. It provides exactly the information Claude needs to control Spotify via terminal tools without any unnecessary padding. The clear preference hierarchy (spogo over spotify_player) and concrete commands make it immediately actionable.
| 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 means no multi-step workflow is needed; the preference ordering (spogo preferred, spotify_player fallback) is clear and unambiguous. | 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 |
