zoom-out

Step up a layer of abstraction to map how unfamiliar code fits into the larger system. Use when the user says "zoom out", "bigger picture", "I don't know this area", "give me a map", "where does this fit", is reading code and feels lost, or is about to change unfamiliar code.

Content

86%Weight 40%Scale 1-5

Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.

A tight, well-structured instruction skill that assumes competence and gives a concrete procedure plus output template. The only gaps are minor: guidance steps aren't literal commands and there's no formal validation loop, though neither is strictly needed for a read-only analysis task.

Suggestions

Add one literal command example for finding callers (e.g., `rg 'import invoicing'` or `grep -rn`), nudging actionability from 4 to 5.

Add an explicit validation/quality checkpoint in the workflow (e.g., 'If the map can't name callers or the abstraction above, widen the search before going deeper') to formalize the existing 'then, and only then' gate.

The 'Pairs With' section is useful but tangential to the core procedure; consider trimming or relocating it to keep every token aligned with the main action.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

Lean prose that assumes Claude's competence — it never explains what a module, grep, or namespace is, and every section earns its place despite the slightly tangential 'Pairs With' block.

5 / 5

Actionability

A concrete numbered procedure (identify unit, grep callers, find neighbors/abstractions) plus a copy-pasteable output template, but the steps are guidance rather than fully literal commands.

4 / 5

Workflow Clarity

Clear 5-step sequence with an explicit gating checkpoint ('then, and only then, go deeper'), but lacks formal validation/error-recovery feedback loops that the anchor-5 example shows.

4 / 5

Progressive Disclosure

Under 50 lines, no external references needed, and well-organized into clearly labeled sections, which meets the rubric's exception for simple single-purpose skills.

Description

90%Weight 40%Scale 1-5

Based on the skill's description, can an agent find and select it at the right time? Clear, specific descriptions lead to better discovery.

A strong description with excellent trigger coverage and complete what/when guidance. The only soft spot is specificity, which names a single primary action rather than a comprehensive list of concrete actions.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Names the domain (unfamiliar code) and one concrete action ('map how unfamiliar code fits into the larger system'), but does not enumerate multiple specific actions like the anchor-5 examples do.

3 / 5

Completeness

Explicitly answers both 'what' (step up a layer of abstraction to map how code fits) and 'when' (concrete 'Use when...' clause with multiple trigger phrases).

5 / 5

Trigger Term Quality

Comprehensive natural trigger phrases including synonyms users actually say: 'zoom out', 'bigger picture', 'I don't know this area', 'give me a map', 'where does this fit'.

5 / 5

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

Clear niche of architectural orientation for unfamiliar code with distinctive triggers ('zoom out', 'bigger picture', 'give me a map'), giving minimal overlap with other skills.
