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 its niche in robotics and embodied AI idea discovery. It provides specific actions (literature survey, idea generation, novelty check, critical review), a clear scope (robotics sub-domains), and comprehensive trigger terms in both English and Chinese. The explicit 'Use when' clause with natural language triggers makes it easy for Claude to select appropriately.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Specificity | Lists multiple specific concrete actions: 'robotics-aware literature survey, idea generation, novelty check, and critical review' and specifies the outcome 'benchmark-grounded, simulation-first ideas'. Also names specific sub-domains like manipulation, locomotion, navigation, drones, humanoids. | 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). | 3 / 3 |
Trigger Term Quality | Excellent coverage of natural trigger terms in both English and Chinese: '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'. | 3 / 3 |
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk | Highly distinctive niche targeting robotics/embodied AI idea discovery specifically. The combination of robotics domain, simulation-first focus, and bilingual trigger terms makes it very unlikely to conflict with generic research or coding 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 safety gates (especially around real-robot execution), but it is far too verbose for its purpose. Many sections repeat the same principles (sim-first, benchmark-grounded, no hardware without approval) and explain research methodology concepts that Claude already understands. The content would be significantly more effective at half its current length with templates and detailed criteria extracted to companion files.
Suggestions
Cut the content by 40-50%: remove redundant restatements of sim-first/benchmark-grounded principles, compress the 'Good/Weak Robotics Idea Patterns' into a concise checklist, and eliminate explanations of concepts Claude already knows (e.g., what embodiments are, what metrics mean).
Extract the Robotics Landscape Matrix template, pilot plan template, and IDEA_REPORT.md template into separate companion files (e.g., TEMPLATES.md) and reference them with one-level-deep links.
Remove the 'REVIEWER_MODEL = gpt-5.4' constant as it references a non-existent model and adds confusion rather than actionability.
Consolidate the filtering rules and idea quality criteria into a single compact scoring rubric rather than spreading them across multiple verbose sections.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | At ~300+ lines, this skill is extremely verbose. It over-explains concepts Claude already knows (what embodiments are, what metrics mean, what makes a good research idea), repeats the sim-first principle dozens of times, and includes extensive tables and lists that could be dramatically compressed. The 'Weak Robotics Idea Patterns' and 'Good Robotics Idea Patterns' sections explain research taste at length rather than giving concise rules. | 1 / 3 |
Actionability | The skill provides concrete invocation patterns for sub-skills (/research-lit, /idea-creator, /novelty-check, /research-review) with specific argument templates, and includes a detailed output template for IDEA_REPORT.md. However, there's no executable code—it's all orchestration instructions and templates. The sub-skill invocations are concrete but the filtering/rewriting steps are described abstractly rather than with precise algorithms. | 2 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | The six-phase workflow is clearly sequenced (Phase 0 through Phase 6) with explicit checkpoints after Phases 1 and 2, clear branching logic (user approves vs. requests changes vs. no response with AUTO_PROCEED), and a strong validation gate for real-robot execution. The 'Real Robot Rule' serves as a critical safety checkpoint, and the execution rule at the top clearly defines when to stop vs. continue. | 3 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | The skill references sub-skills (/research-lit, /idea-creator, /novelty-check, /research-review) which is good delegation, and points to downstream workflows. However, the SKILL.md itself is monolithic—all the detailed filtering rules, landscape matrix templates, pilot plan templates, and report templates are inline rather than split into separate reference files. The content would benefit from extracting the templates and detailed criteria into companion files. | 2 / 3 |
