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 an excellent skill description that clearly defines concrete deliverables (cold emails, follow-ups, investor updates), specifies the target audience (angels, VCs, accelerators), and provides explicit trigger guidance. It uses third-person voice, includes natural keywords users would say, and occupies a distinct niche that minimizes conflict with other skills.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Specificity | Lists multiple specific concrete actions: 'cold emails, warm intro blurbs, follow-ups, update emails, and investor communications for fundraising.' These are distinct, well-defined deliverables. | 3 / 3 |
Completeness | Clearly answers both what ('Draft cold emails, warm intro blurbs, follow-ups, update emails, and investor communications for fundraising') and when ('Use when the user wants outreach to angels, VCs, strategic investors, or accelerators and needs concise, personalized, investor-facing messaging'). | 3 / 3 |
Trigger Term Quality | Includes strong natural keywords users would say: 'cold emails', 'follow-ups', 'investor communications', 'fundraising', 'angels', 'VCs', 'accelerators', 'outreach'. These cover a wide range of natural user language for this domain. | 3 / 3 |
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk | Highly distinctive niche combining fundraising + investor outreach + specific email types. Unlikely to conflict with general email writing or general fundraising skills due to the specificity of investor-facing messaging and the enumerated communication types. | 3 / 3 |

Implementation
77%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, concise instruction skill that clearly defines investor outreach workflows with good validation (quality gate) and explicit constraints (hard bans). Its main weakness is the lack of concrete examples—a sample cold email, warm intro blurb, or follow-up would significantly boost actionability. The progressive disclosure is adequate but could be improved by splitting example templates into a referenced file.
Suggestions
Add 1-2 concrete example emails (e.g., a cold email and a forwardable warm intro blurb) showing the structure in practice, so Claude has a clear output template to follow.
Consider extracting example templates into a separate EXAMPLES.md file and linking to it, keeping SKILL.md as the concise overview.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | Every section is lean and directive. No unnecessary explanations of what cold emails are or how fundraising works. The hard bans list and structure templates are tight and assume Claude's competence. | 3 / 3 |
Actionability | The skill provides clear structural guidance (cold email structure, follow-up cadence, warm intro format) but lacks concrete examples of actual emails. A copy-paste-ready cold email example or a sample forwardable blurb would make this significantly more actionable. | 2 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | The cold email structure is clearly sequenced (5 steps), the follow-up cadence provides explicit timing, and the quality gate serves as a validation checkpoint before delivery. The voice handling step provides a clear conditional workflow. For an instruction-only skill, this is well-sequenced. | 3 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | The content is well-organized with clear section headers, but everything is inline in a single file. The reference to `brand-voice` is a good cross-reference, but the skill could benefit from linking to example templates or a separate reference file for different email types rather than keeping all templates in one document. | 2 / 3 |
