soil-extraction

Uses a shovel tool to dig soil from the ground in outdoor environments. Execute this skill when you need to obtain soil for planting tasks and have both the shovel in inventory and access to an appropriate digging location. The skill produces soil that can then be collected and transported.

Quality

Content

86%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 concise, highly actionable with concrete commands, and well-structured with a genuine reference file. The only gap is that workflow validation is implicit rather than an explicit checkpoint, though the simple non-destructive nature of the task limits that risk.

Dimension	Reasoning	Score
Conciseness	The body is lean, well-sectioned, and avoids explaining concepts Claude already knows, with only minor phrases ('foundational step for planting tasks') that could be trimmed, fitting the 'efficient; minor over-explanation' anchor.	4 / 5
Actionability	It gives fully executable, copy-ready commands ('use shovel in inventory on ground', 'pick up soil', 'teleport to outside') covering the common cases, matching the top anchor.	5 / 5
Workflow Clarity	The Core Procedure is a clear numbered sequence (navigate, dig, collect) with an error-handling section and a verify step, but validation is implicit rather than an explicit checkpoint, so it sits below the explicit-feedback-loop anchor at 5.	4 / 5
Progressive Disclosure	This is a short, simple, single-purpose skill with well-organized sections and a real one-level-deep reference (trajectory_excerpt.md) that is clearly signaled, qualifying for the top anchor under the simple-skill exception.	5 / 5

Description

76%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, in third person, and answers both what the skill does and when to trigger it with concrete conditions. It could improve trigger-term coverage and add a couple more concrete action verbs to reach the top anchors.

Suggestions

Broaden trigger-term coverage with natural synonyms (e.g., 'dirt', 'potting soil', 'garden bed') so users phrase the need in more ways.

Add the explicit output-pickup action to the capability list for more comprehensive action coverage.

Dimension	Reasoning	Score
Specificity	Names the domain and several concrete actions — 'dig soil from the ground', 'collected and transported' — with only minor coverage gaps (e.g., no mention of output pickup), so it sits above the 1-2-action anchor at 3 but below the comprehensive anchor at 5.	4 / 5
Completeness	It explicitly states both what it does ('Uses a shovel tool to dig soil... produces soil that can then be collected and transported') and when to use it ('Execute this skill when you need to obtain soil for planting tasks and have both the shovel in inventory and access to an appropriate digging location'), matching the explicit what-and-when anchor.	5 / 5
Trigger Term Quality	It includes relevant natural terms ('soil', 'shovel', 'dig', 'planting', 'digging location') but misses common synonyms and has no file-extension-style specificity, matching the 'some relevant keywords but missing variations' anchor.	3 / 5
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk	The narrow soil-extraction-via-shovel niche and conditional trigger make it largely distinct with only minor overlap risk against adjacent planting skills, placing it just below the minimal-conflict anchor at 5.	4 / 5
