Quality

Content

53%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.

The body is a well-structured agent persona with concrete tool references and a clear workflow sequence, but it leans on high-level direction over executable detail and lacks validation checkpoints in its workflow.

Suggestions

Replace abstract workflow steps with concrete, runnable commands (e.g., exact jscpd and ast-grep invocations) to lift actionability.

Add an explicit verification/checkpoint step in the workflow, such as cross-checking detected anti-patterns against the naming and duplication results before reporting.

Trim the persona framing and generic "When analyzing code" bullets to reduce token overhead without losing actionable guidance.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

Mostly efficient persona-and-responsibilities prose that avoids explaining basic concepts, but the "You are a Code Pattern Analysis Expert" framing and the generic "When analyzing code" bullets could be tightened.

3 / 5

Actionability

Names concrete tools and signals (Grep, ast-grep, jscpd with --min-tokens 50, TODO/FIXME/HACK/XXX), but the per-responsibility guidance remains high-level direction rather than executable, copy-paste steps.

3 / 5

Workflow Clarity

A clear six-step sequence is present, but steps are abstract (e.g., "Analyze naming conventions by sampling representative files") with no explicit validation or verification checkpoints.

3 / 5

Progressive Disclosure

The single file is well-organized into distinct sections (responsibilities, workflow, deliverables, considerations) with no nested references; slightly over 50 lines so not a perfect 5.

Description

83%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.

The description is clear, concise, and third-person, explicitly covering both capabilities and trigger conditions. It names several concrete analysis dimensions and provides natural use-when phrasing.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Lists four concrete analysis targets ("design patterns, anti-patterns, naming conventions, and duplication") but stops short of fully comprehensive coverage of the body's scope (e.g., architectural boundaries are omitted).

4 / 5

Completeness

Explicitly answers both what ("Analyzes code for design patterns, anti-patterns, naming conventions, and duplication") and when ("Use when checking codebase consistency or verifying new code follows established patterns") with concrete trigger phrases.

5 / 5

Trigger Term Quality

Includes natural user-facing phrases like "checking codebase consistency" and "verifying new code follows established patterns", with good but not exhaustive keyword coverage.

4 / 5

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

The pattern-analysis niche is mostly distinct, but the broad code-quality framing has minor overlap risk with general code-review skills.
