Quality

Content

82%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, actionable body that gives Claude clear behavioral rules without padding. It is well-suited to a simple conversational skill and would benefit only marginally from a sample question and light sectioning.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

Four lean sentences with zero padding and no explanation of concepts Claude already knows; every token earns its place.

5 / 5

Actionability

Concrete executable directives — "Ask the questions one at a time," "provide your recommended answer," "explore the codebase instead" — give mostly executable guidance with minor gaps (no example question illustrating the format).

4 / 5

Workflow Clarity

Clear sequence for a simple conversational skill (one question at a time, resolve each branch, explore codebase when answerable); no destructive or batch operations so no validation cap applies, but it lacks explicit feedback/checkpoint structure.

4 / 5

Progressive Disclosure

An under-50-line single-purpose skill with no bundle files and no need for external references; content is self-contained but lacks section headers that would push it to a 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.

A concise, well-constructed description that clearly states both capability and trigger conditions with natural user phrasing. It is third-person and free of fluff, with only minor gaps in action breadth and trigger synonyms.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Names the domain (plan/design review) and several concrete actions — "Interview the user relentlessly," "resolving each branch of the decision tree" — but coverage is narrow rather than comprehensive, fitting the 4 anchor.

4 / 5

Completeness

Explicitly answers both what ("Interview the user relentlessly... resolving each branch of the decision tree") and when ("Use when user wants to stress-test a plan, get grilled on their design, or mentions 'grill me'") with concrete trigger phrases.

5 / 5

Trigger Term Quality

Includes natural phrases a user would actually say — "stress-test a plan," "get grilled on their design," "grill me" — giving good keyword coverage with synonyms, though a few natural variations are absent.

4 / 5

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

"grill me" and "get grilled on their design" carve a distinct niche with minimal conflict risk, though there is minor overlap with general planning or brainstorming skills.
