## Detailed Scores

### Progressive Disclosure Architecture (28/30)

| Criterion | Score | Max | Assessment |
|-----------|-------|-----|------------|
| Token Economy | 9 | 10 | Dense, actionable content throughout; decision trees and easy buttons maximize value; minimal fluff |
| Layered Structure | 9 | 10 | Excellent hierarchy: 428-line SKILL.md overview with 9 focused reference files for deep dives |
| Reference Depth | 5 | 5 | All 9 references one level deep from SKILL.md; clear navigation table mapping tasks to files |
| Navigation Signals | 5 | 5 | All reference files have TOC; SKILL.md has clear Reference Navigation table; consistent headers |

### Ease of Use (24/25)

| Criterion | Score | Max | Assessment |
|-----------|-------|-----|------------|
| Metadata Quality | 9 | 10 | Comprehensive description with 10+ trigger terms; name follows conventions; version compatibility noted |
| Discoverability | 6 | 6 | Explicit Triggers section; activates on git, merge, rebase, worktree, submodule, CI/CD, and more |
| Terminology Consistency | 4 | 4 | Consistent terminology: worktree not working-tree; switch/restore preferred over checkout throughout |
| Workflow Clarity | 5 | 5 | Decision trees guide choices; Easy Buttons provide copy-paste solutions; numbered steps in workflows |

### Spec Compliance (12/15)

| Criterion | Score | Max | Assessment |
|-----------|-------|-----|------------|
| Frontmatter Validity | 5 | 5 | Valid YAML with required fields |
| Name Conventions | 4 | 4 | Correct hyphen-case format |
| Description Quality | 3 | 4 | Only 1-2 trigger phrases |
| Optional Fields | 0 | 2 | No optional fields used (no penalty) |

### Writing Style (9/10)

| Criterion | Score | Max | Assessment |
|-----------|-------|-----|------------|
| Voice And Tense | 4 | 4 | Consistent imperative form: Create, Use, Run; infinitive triggers; no second-person pronouns |
| Objectivity | 3 | 3 | Purely instructional; no marketing language; facts and commands only |
| Conciseness | 2 | 3 | Mostly excellent density; some reference files slightly verbose with repeated patterns |

### Utility (19/20)

| Criterion | Score | Max | Assessment |
|-----------|-------|-----|------------|
| Problem Solving Power | 8 | 8 | Addresses real gaps: worktree agent orchestration, large repo optimization, 2025 features, merge strategy selection |
| Degrees Of Freedom | 5 | 5 | Decision trees constrain choices appropriately; anti-patterns section prevents common mistakes |
| Feedback Loops | 4 | 4 | Health check script; status commands; troubleshooting sections; verify steps after operations |
| Examples And Templates | 2 | 3 | Abundant command examples; setup/cleanup scripts; .gitconfig templates; CI/CD YAML samples |

### Modifiers Applied (+0)

**Penalties:** xml_tags_in_metadata (-5), deeply_nested_references (-2)
**Bonuses:** grep_friendly_structure (+1), exemplary_examples (+2), quality_pre_commit_checklist (+2), counter_examples (+1), gerund_style_name (+1)

---

## Critical Issues (Top 2)

### Issue 1: Scripts reference missing files

**Severity:** Low
**Location:** SKILL.md:Script Usage
**Pillar Affected:** Utility

**Problem:** SKILL.md references scripts like setup-agent-worktrees.sh that aren't bundled with the skill

**Current:**
```
scripts/setup-agent-worktrees.sh [num_agents] [base_branch]
```

**Suggested Rewrite:**
```
Either bundle scripts in references/scripts/ or inline the full script content directly in SKILL.md
```

**Impact:** +1 point (examples_and_templates)

---

### Issue 2: Minor redundancy in reference files

**Severity:** Low
**Location:** references/*.md
**Pillar Affected:** Writing Style

**Problem:** Some command patterns repeated across multiple reference files (e.g., checkout vs switch appears in multiple places)

**Current:**
```
Multiple files explain the same checkout/switch distinction
```

**Suggested Rewrite:**
```
Cross-reference foundations.md for shared concepts rather than repeating
```

**Impact:** +1 point (conciseness)

---

## General Recommendations

1. Add trigger phrases to description for discoverability
2. Add table of contents for files over 100 lines

---

## Grade Scale

| Grade | Score | Description |
|-------|-------|-------------|
| A | 90-100 | Production-ready |
| B | 80-89 | Good, minor work |
| C | 70-79 | Adequate, gaps |
| D | 60-69 | Needs work |
| F | <60 | Major revision |
