testland/tester-one-on-one-planner

Build-an-X workflow that produces recurring 1:1 agenda structures for a QA manager and each tester - a cadence plan, a per-meeting agenda with an explicit status-versus-growth time split, and a coaching-question bank built on the GROW model (Goal, Reality, Options, Will) with QA-specific prompts seeded from the tester's skill-matrix row. Grounded in the 1:1 meeting styles cataloged in Camille Fournier's The Manager's Path (ISBN 978-1491973899). Plans the recurring conversation where feedback lands - not the written evidence-based feedback artifact itself, not the level structure those growth conversations point at, and not a review of work products. Use when a QA manager sets up 1:1s with a new team, or when existing 1:1s have degraded into status meetings.

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 well-structured, highly actionable instruction-only skill with a clear five-step workflow and copy-paste templates. The main drag is conciseness: book/ISBN provenance and fetched-date stamps repeat and add tokens that do not all earn their place for execution.

Suggestions

Trim the GROW provenance ('developed by Sir John Whitmore... late 1980s... Coaching for Performance') to a one-line attribution; the model definition and sourced link are what the workflow actually uses.

De-duplicate the *The Manager's Path* citation (inline ISBN plus a full References entry) and drop or relocate the two 'fetched 2026-06-10' date stamps, which are time-sensitive details not housed in a deprecated/old-patterns section.

Consider moving the example GROW question bank and the per-tester plan template into a references/ file so the SKILL.md body stays a lean overview, lifting conciseness toward the lean anchor.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

The body is mostly efficient and does not explain basic concepts Claude knows, but it carries unnecessary provenance tokens (GROW model origin, The Manager's Path ISBN cited inline and again in References, two 'fetched 2026-06-10' dates) that could be trimmed without losing actionability.

2 / 3

Actionability

Provides concrete, copy-paste-ready artifacts: a 10/5/10/5 time-split table, a full QA-flavored GROW question bank, and a per-tester plan example (Chen, IC2, Playwright row, dated targets), plus specific cadence rules (weekly at <=6 reports, biweekly above).

3 / 3

Workflow Clarity

A clearly sequenced five-step process (inputs -> cadence -> GROW bank -> per-tester plan -> style rotation) where each step produces a concrete artifact; this is a planning skill, not a destructive or batch operation, so the missing-validation cap does not apply.

3 / 3

Progressive Disclosure

No bundle files are present or needed for this single-process planning skill, and the body is well-organized into clearly labeled sections (Overview, When to use, Steps 1-5, Anti-patterns, Limitations, Hand-off targets, References) with external references one level deep and clearly signaled.

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 deliverables, natural trigger terms, an explicit Use-when clause, and explicit boundaries against sibling skills. Its only weakness is verbosity - the single dense paragraph could be tightened - but verbosity is not a scored dimension here.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Lists multiple concrete deliverables - 'a cadence plan, a per-meeting agenda with an explicit status-versus-growth time split, and a coaching-question bank built on the GROW model' - rather than vague language.

3 / 3

Completeness

Explicitly answers both what (cadence plan, agenda, coaching-question bank) and when via the 'Use when a QA manager sets up 1:1s with a new team, or when existing 1:1s have degraded into status meetings' trigger clause.

3 / 3

Trigger Term Quality

Uses natural terms a QA manager would actually say - '1:1', 'QA manager', 'status meetings', 'coaching', 'agenda' - matching the rubric's good coverage anchor.

3 / 3

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

Carves a clear niche (QA-manager 1:1 planning) and explicitly excludes adjacent skills - 'not the written evidence-based feedback artifact itself, not the level structure... not a review of work products' - so it is unlikely to trigger for the wrong skill.
