The TL;DR

You're at 80/100, solid B-grade territory. This skill covers a real gap in document-to-markdown conversion (especially with WSL path handling), which is genuinely useful. Your strongest area is Ease of Use (21/25)—the metadata and trigger coverage are strong. The weakest spot is Spec Compliance (11/15), mainly because you're missing trigger phrases in the description.

What's Working Well

  • Metadata is thorough: Your description includes specific document types (PDFs, Word docs, PowerPoint, Confluence exports) and even mentions WSL path handling. That specificity helps activation.
  • Progressive disclosure structure: SKILL.md gives a quick overview while conversion-examples.md handles 347 lines of reference material. That separation works.
  • Practical problem-solving: WSL path conversion is a nice touch—it's addressing a real Windows developer pain point that generic tools miss.
  • Examples are grounded: The command examples show real workflow patterns, not just syntax.

The Big One: Add Trigger Phrases to Description

Your description currently reads: "Converts documents to markdown (PDFs, Word docs, PowerPoint, Confluence exports)..." But it doesn't tell Claude when to invoke this skill.

Why it matters: Without explicit trigger phrases, the skill relies on fuzzy matching. A developer asking "convert my PDF to markdown" might not surface your skill at all.

The fix (in SKILL.md frontmatter):

description: "Converts documents to markdown (PDFs, Word docs, PowerPoint, Confluence exports) with Windows/WSL path support. Use when asked to 'convert document to markdown', 'markdo...
