The TL;DR

You're at 89/100, which puts you solidly in B territory - that's good work with just some polish needed. This is based on Anthropic's skill best practices. Your Ease of Use is chef's kiss (25/25), and the utility is strong too (20/20). Where you're losing points is in Progressive Disclosure Architecture (26/30) - basically, the skill could be structured a bit more efficiently for token economy.

What's Working Well

  • Perfect metadata - Your triggers cover the workflow comprehensively ("setup Tailwind CSS", "configure shadcn/ui", etc.) and your description nails the use case specifics. That's why Ease of Use maxed out.
  • Solid examples - The theme-toggle.tsx, sample-form.tsx, and root-layout.tsx examples actually show what you're teaching. That's real utility, not just hand-waving.
  • Clear structure - You've got scripts, templates, and examples separated cleanly. The numbered workflow in your instructions is easy to follow, even if a bit verbose.

The Big One: Tighten Your SKILL.md

Right now your SKILL.md is over 100 lines without a table of contents, and some sections have explanatory text that could live in reference docs instead. This hits your PDA score (-4 points). The fix is straightforward:

  1. Add a TOC after the ## Instructions header so users can jump to what they need
  2. Move detailed explanations to reference files - Keep SKILL.md concise for the instructions, put the "why" and deep dives in references/ subdirectories (e.g., references/theme-customization-guide.md, references/dark-mode-setup.md)
  3. Keep only the es...
