Workflow 1 adaptation for robotics and embodied AI. Orchestrates robotics-aware literature survey, idea generation, novelty check, and critical review to go from a broad robotics direction to benchmark-grounded, simulation-first ideas. Use when user says \"robotics idea discovery\", \"机器人找idea\", \"embodied AI idea\", \"机器人方向探索\", \"sim2real 选题\", or wants ideas for manipulation, locomotion, navigation, drones, humanoids, or general robot learning.

Discovery
100%Based on the skill's description, can an agent find and select it at the right time? Clear, specific descriptions lead to better discovery.
This is a strong skill description that clearly defines a specific robotics research ideation workflow with concrete steps, excellent bilingual trigger terms, and explicit 'Use when' guidance. It covers both the 'what' and 'when' thoroughly while maintaining a distinct niche that would be easily distinguishable from other skills. The description uses proper third-person voice throughout.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Specificity | Lists multiple specific concrete actions: 'robotics-aware literature survey, idea generation, novelty check, and critical review' and specifies the goal 'go from a broad robotics direction to benchmark-grounded, simulation-first ideas'. These are concrete, well-defined steps in a workflow. | 3 / 3 |
Completeness | Clearly answers both 'what' (orchestrates literature survey, idea generation, novelty check, critical review for robotics) and 'when' (explicit 'Use when' clause with specific trigger phrases and use cases). Both dimensions are thoroughly covered. | 3 / 3 |
Trigger Term Quality | Excellent coverage of natural trigger terms including English and Chinese variations: 'robotics idea discovery', '机器人找idea', 'embodied AI idea', '机器人方向探索', 'sim2real 选题', plus domain-specific terms like 'manipulation, locomotion, navigation, drones, humanoids, robot learning'. These are terms users would naturally use. | 3 / 3 |
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk | Highly distinctive with a clear niche: robotics/embodied AI idea discovery workflow. The combination of robotics domain specificity, simulation-first focus, bilingual triggers, and the specific workflow steps (literature survey → idea generation → novelty check → review) makes it very unlikely to conflict with other skills. | 3 / 3 |

Implementation
47%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-structured orchestration skill with excellent workflow clarity and clear phase sequencing, checkpoints, and safety gates for real-robot operations. However, it is significantly over-verbose, spending many tokens on robotics domain knowledge that Claude already possesses (embodiment types, observation modalities, what makes good/weak research ideas). The actionability is moderate—concrete sub-skill invocations and templates are provided, but the core guidance is descriptive rather than mechanically executable.
Suggestions
Cut the 'Good Robotics Idea Patterns' and 'Weak Robotics Idea Patterns' sections to 2-3 bullet points each—Claude already understands research quality heuristics and doesn't need extensive lists of what constitutes a weak idea.
Compress the Robotics Landscape Matrix and Phase 0 'Robotics Problem Frame' into a single compact template rather than listing every possible value for each axis with examples.
Move the detailed report template (Phase 6) and pilot plan template (Phase 3) into separate referenced files (e.g., REPORT_TEMPLATE.md, PILOT_TEMPLATE.md) to reduce the main skill's token footprint.
Remove explanatory sentences like 'The goal is not to produce flashy demos' and 'Novel terminology is not novelty'—these are editorial commentary that Claude doesn't need to follow the workflow.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The skill is extremely verbose at ~300+ lines. It over-explains concepts Claude already understands (what embodiments are, what observation modalities exist, what makes a good vs weak idea). The landscape matrix, good/weak idea patterns, and filtering rules sections contain extensive lists that largely restate common robotics research knowledge. Many sections could be compressed to 1/3 their size without losing actionable content. | 1 / 3 |
Actionability | The skill provides concrete invocation commands for sub-skills (/research-lit, /idea-creator, /novelty-check, /research-review) with specific argument templates, and includes a detailed report template. However, there is no executable code—everything is orchestration instructions and markdown templates. The sub-skill invocations are concrete but the actual work is delegated, and the filtering/evaluation criteria are descriptive rather than mechanically executable. | 2 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | The six-phase workflow is clearly sequenced with explicit checkpoints after Phase 1 and Phase 2, AUTO_PROCEED behavior is well-defined, and there are clear decision branches (user approves, requests changes, or narrows scope). The real-robot safety gate is an explicit validation checkpoint. Error recovery paths are specified (re-run earlier phases if scope changes). | 3 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | The skill references three shared protocol files (output-versioning, output-manifest, output-language) and delegates to sub-skills, which is good structure. However, the main SKILL.md itself is monolithic—the landscape matrix template, idea patterns, filtering rules, pilot plan template, and final report template are all inline when some could be in separate reference files. The content would benefit from splitting detailed templates into referenced files. | 2 / 3 |
