Executive Summary

This skill shows solid fundamentals with a score of 87/100. Strongest area: Progressive Disclosure Architecture (27/30).


Detailed Scores

Progressive Disclosure Architecture (27/30)

Criterion Score Max Assessment
Token Economy 9 10 SKILL.md is dense with working code examples; minimal fluff; every section actionable
Layered Structure 9 10 Clear separation: SKILL.md overview with 6 deep-dive references plus assets and scripts
Reference Depth 5 5 All references exactly one level deep; clear Load when directives in each file
Navigation Signals 4 5 All reference files have TOC; SKILL.md at 442 lines could benefit from TOC

Ease of Use (22/25)

Criterion Score Max Assessment
Metadata Quality 9 10 Comprehensive description with specific triggers; 14 trigger terms covering key use cases
Discoverability 5 6 Excellent trigger coverage: typescript, ts, nestjs, react, zod, satisfies, mapped types
Terminology Consistency 4 4 Consistent terminology throughout; uses satisfies, type guards, mapped types uniformly
Workflow Clarity 4 5 Quick Start with copy-paste commands; Project Setup Checklist; clear numbered steps

Spec Compliance (13/15)

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 1 2 Uses license

Writing Style (8/10)

Criterion Score Max Assessment
Voice And Tense 3 4 Mostly imperative form; occasional second-person usage in explanations
Objectivity 3 3 Purely instructional; no marketing language; focuses on practical patterns
Conciseness 2 3 Good density overall but some sections could be trimmed; Common Mistakes table is efficient

Utility (18/20)

Criterion Score Max Assessment
Problem Solving Power 7 8 Addresses real gaps: type-safe patterns, Zod validation, framework integration, migration strategies
Degrees Of Freedom 5 5 Appropriate constraints; shows patterns without being overly prescriptive; templates customizable
Feedback Loops 3 4 validate-setup.sh script provides verification; Common Mistakes table helps self-correction
Examples And Templates 3 3 Abundant working examples; tsconfig and eslint templates ready to use; input/output clear

Modifiers Applied (-1)

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


Critical Issues (Top 3)

Issue 1: Missing TOC in SKILL.md

Severity: Low
Location: SKILL.md:top
Pillar Affected: PDA

Problem: SKILL.md is 442 lines but lacks a Table of Contents for navigation

Current:

No TOC at top of SKILL.md

Suggested Rewrite:

Add ## Contents section after Quick Start listing all major sections with anchor links

Impact: +1 points


Issue 2: Second-person voice in some sections

Severity: Low
Location: SKILL.md:When to Use This Skill
Pillar Affected: Writing Style

Problem: Uses 'Use when:' which is good, but some reference files use 'you' addressing

Current:

Various 'you' references in explanatory text

Suggested Rewrite:

Rephrase to imperative form: 'Apply when building...' instead of 'Use when you are building...'

Impact: +1 points


Issue 3: Reference files vary in conciseness

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

Problem: Some reference files have verbose explanations that could be more compact

Current:

enterprise-patterns.md includes lengthy code blocks with inline comments

Suggested Rewrite:

Consolidate related patterns; remove obvious inline comments in code examples

Impact: +1 points


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
