The TL;DR

You're at 83/100, solid B grade territory. This is based on Anthropic's best practices for skill structure and usefulness. Your strongest area is Progressive Disclosure Architecture (27/30) — the layering between your main SKILL.md and four focused reference files is chef's kiss. Weakest spot is Writing Style (8/10) and some utility gaps around component templates.

What's Working Well

  • Reference architecture is tight. Splitting the 153-line overview from four separate reference files (craft-principles, anti-patterns, design-directions, verification-scripts) keeps token economy lean while offering depth when needed. That's good PDA.
  • Triggers are comprehensive. You've got 12 of them covering both intent ("design dashboard", "create admin interface") and artifact patterns ("design tokens", "spacing system"). That's solid discoverability.
  • Practical constraints. The 4px grid, symmetrical padding, and banned patterns (centered layouts, opacity stacking) are real, actionable decisions — not fluffy design philosophy. The anti-patterns reference is particularly useful for preventing common mistakes.

The Big One: Missing Component Templates

Your craft-principles.md has individual CSS snippets scattered throughout (130 lines of good stuff), but you're missing complete, copy-paste-ready component templates. When someone uses this skill, they need to see a Card component, Button, Navigation bar — fully built examples following all your principles.

Fix: Create references/component-templates.md with 3-4 complete components (Card, Button, and one from your domain). Sh...
