Discovery
35%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 is extremely specific about a single concrete action but fails to provide any context about when it should be used or what user requests should trigger it. It reads more like an internal command than a skill description, lacking natural trigger terms and a 'Use when...' clause.
Suggestions
Add a 'Use when...' clause explaining the circumstances under which this skill should be selected, e.g., 'Use when the user requests a health check, status confirmation, or OK signal file.'
Include natural trigger terms that a user might say, such as 'health check', 'status file', 'confirmation output', or whatever the actual use case is for this OK file.
Briefly explain the purpose of the OK file so Claude can better match user intent to this skill.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Specificity | The description states a very concrete, specific action: 'Write a deterministic OK file to out/ok.txt.' It names the exact output, file path, and nature of the task. | 3 / 3 |
Completeness | While it describes what the skill does, there is no 'Use when...' clause or any explicit trigger guidance for when Claude should select this skill. Per the rubric, a missing 'Use when...' clause caps completeness at 2, and the 'what' is also narrow and unclear in purpose, bringing it to 1. | 1 / 3 |
Trigger Term Quality | The description lacks natural keywords a user would say. Terms like 'deterministic OK file' and 'out/ok.txt' are highly specific internal jargon, not phrases users would naturally use in requests. | 1 / 3 |
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk | The description is extremely narrow and specific to writing a particular file to a particular path, making it very unlikely to conflict with any other skill. | 3 / 3 |
Total | 8 / 12 Passed |
Implementation
72%Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.
This is a very concise skill for a simple task, with good structure and minimal verbosity. However, it relies on an external script without showing its contents or providing an inline alternative, reducing actionability. Adding a brief verification step or the actual command inline would strengthen it.
Suggestions
Include the actual command inline (e.g., `echo 'OK' > out/ok.txt`) or show the script contents so Claude can execute the task even if the script is missing.
Add a brief verification step such as `cat out/ok.txt` or mention expected file content to confirm successful execution.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | Very lean content with no unnecessary explanation. Every line serves a purpose and Claude's intelligence is respected. | 3 / 3 |
Actionability | Provides a concrete command to run, but doesn't show the actual script content or what the script does. Claude can't verify or create the script if it's missing, and there's no inline fallback (e.g., `echo 'OK' > out/ok.txt`). | 2 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | For this simple single-step task, the workflow is mostly clear, but there's no validation step to confirm the file was written correctly (e.g., checking the output exists or has expected content). For a deterministic write operation, a brief verification mention would be appropriate. | 2 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | For a skill this simple (under 50 lines, single task), the content is well-organized with clear sections (Overview, Command, Output Files) and no need for external references. | 3 / 3 |
Total | 10 / 12 Passed |
