testland/onboarding-plan-author

Build-an-X workflow that produces a 30-60-90 day onboarding plan for a newly hired QA engineer - takes seniority level (junior / mid / senior / lead) plus the team's hiring rubric and emits phase-gated ramp milestones, competency targets mapped to the rubric axes, mentor cadence, and success criteria per phase. This is the post-hire ramp artifact - it starts at offer acceptance, not during the interview loop. Use when a QA engineer has been hired and the hiring manager or team lead needs a structured first-90-days plan before the new hire's start date.

Quality

Content

85%

Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.

A highly actionable, well-sequenced workflow with strong validation checkpoints and clean single-file organization. Its main weakness is token efficiency: the Overview and a few citations explain background Claude already knows rather than staying lean.

Suggestions

Trim the Overview's framework provenance (Watkins 2003, Wikipedia/Notion onboarding definitions) to a one-line attribution; Claude already understands the 30-60-90 day arc and does not need the publishing history.

Cut or move the PractiTest 40%/+10.6% statistic out of the main flow - it motivates the phase-3 strategy milestone but adds tokens without changing what Claude emits.

Remove the [author opinion] rationale block in Step 2 or compress it to a single sentence; the exit-criteria table already carries the guidance.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

The actionable tables and milestones are lean, but the Overview pads tokens with framework history Claude already knows (Watkins 2003 citation, Wikipedia/Notion onboarding definitions) and a PractiTest statistic (40% gap, +10.6% premium) that does not advance producing the plan.

2 / 3

Actionability

Gives concrete, copy-paste-ready guidance: per-seniority exit-state tables, day-numbered milestones, per-axis competency targets, explicit mentor cadence ("30-minute daily check-in"), and a literal HAND-OFF markdown block - fully actionable for an instruction-only skill.

3 / 3

Workflow Clarity

Four clearly sequenced steps (capture inputs, seniority multiplier, author three-phase plan, emit) with validation checkpoints at each phase exit and explicit day 30/60/90 review plus a borderline-axis re-pairing feedback loop in the hand-off block.

3 / 3

Progressive Disclosure

No bundle files exist and none are needed; the body is organized into well-signaled navigable sections (Overview, When to use, Steps 1-4, Anti-patterns, Limitations, References) with no nested 2+ level references, so the one-document structure is appropriate.

Description

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.

A strong, third-person description that names concrete outputs, supplies an explicit Use-when trigger with natural vocabulary, and draws a clear boundary against adjacent hiring skills. No verbosity or first/second-person voice issues.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Lists multiple concrete outputs - "emits phase-gated ramp milestones, competency targets mapped to the rubric axes, mentor cadence, and success criteria per phase" - matching the multiple-specific-actions anchor rather than the partial coverage of a 2.

3 / 3

Completeness

Explicitly answers both what (the four emitted artifacts) and when via a literal "Use when a QA engineer has been hired..." clause, satisfying the both-what-and-when anchor.

3 / 3

Trigger Term Quality

Uses natural terms a hiring manager would actually say - "onboarding plan", "QA engineer has been hired", "first-90-days plan", "new hire's start date" - with good coverage of common phrasings.

3 / 3

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

Carves a clear niche - post-hire QA ramp that "starts at offer acceptance, not during the interview loop" - and names its inputs (seniority, hiring rubric), making overlap with interview/rubric skills unlikely.
