What skill-judge does

skill-judge assesses how much useful knowledge a skill adds beyond what the model already knows, and flags material that repeats familiar concepts. It also considers whether the instructions shape the model’s reasoning and include relevant domain procedures. The output includes scores across multiple dimensions and actionable suggestions.

Its evaluation draws on official specifications and patterns derived from skill examples. The described criteria include knowledge delta and the balance between thinking frameworks and procedures. This reviews skill design; it is not a test of whether your project code runs. Install it in Claude Code with npx claude-code-templates@latest --skill productivity/skill-judge.
