Quality

Content

78%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 content is a tight, actionable 5-step workflow with concrete commands and an explicit preview validation checkpoint, scoring well across all dimensions. The only gap is the absence of an explicit error-recovery loop for a failed preview.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

The body is a lean step-by-step with real commands and no concept-explanation padding; only a couple of justifying parentheticals ('This finds the script whether installed via plugin or manual symlink') could be trimmed, matching 'efficient; minor instances of over-explanation.'

4 / 5

Actionability

Provides concrete, executable commands (jq extraction, find, --preview, --quarter, --resume) with placeholders resolved by prior steps, but is not strictly copy-paste ready since the script path from step 2 must be composed into later commands, fitting 'mostly executable guidance with minor gaps.'

4 / 5

Workflow Clarity

Five clearly sequenced steps with an explicit preview/validation checkpoint (step 3), but it lacks an explicit error-recovery feedback loop for when the preview does not match, matching 'clear sequence with most checkpoints present; minor validation gaps.'

4 / 5

Progressive Disclosure

The skill is under 50 lines, single-purpose, needs no external references, and is organized as clean numbered steps, satisfying the simple-skill exception for a top progressive_disclosure score.

Description

50%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 clearly states what the skill does but omits explicit trigger guidance, capping completeness at 3, and the trigger terms lack natural synonyms users would actually say. It is adequately specific and only moderately distinct given sibling clone skills.

Suggestions

Add an explicit 'Use when...' clause, e.g. 'Use when the conversation is getting long and you want to keep recent work while reducing tokens.'

Broaden trigger terms with natural user phrasings like 'trim', 'shorten', or 'summarize the conversation'.

Distinguish from sibling skills by naming the mode, e.g. 'quarter-clone (lightest trim) vs. half-clone', to reduce conflict risk.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Names the domain (conversation cloning) and 2-3 concrete actions ('Clone the last quarter', 'discarding earlier context', 'preserving recent work'), but these describe a single operation rather than several distinct capabilities, matching the '1-2 concrete actions, not comprehensive' anchor.

3 / 5

Completeness

The 'what' is clear but there is no explicit 'when'/'Use when...' clause; the only trigger guidance is weakly implied via 'to reduce token usage', which caps completeness at 3 per the rubric guideline.

3 / 5

Trigger Term Quality

Relevant keywords are present ('conversation', 'context', 'token usage', 'quarter', 'clone') but it lacks common natural synonyms ('trim', 'shorten', 'summarize') and a 'Use when...' trigger phrase, fitting 'some relevant keywords but missing common variations.'

3 / 5

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

The 'quarter-clone' niche is specific but overlaps with closely related sibling skills (half-clone/full-clone), matching 'somewhat specific but could still overlap with similar skills.'
