van-gogh-gen

Post-impressionist oil paintings in the Van Gogh style, fine-tuned by cc0toshi on Art Institute of Chicago archival public-domain works — visible brushstrokes, swirling skies, wheat fields, cypress trees, self-portraits, sunflowers. Output is public domain (CC0). Caption guide at https://cc0.company/skill/van-gogh-gen.md. Skill + prompt templates on GitHub: https://github.com/cryptomfer/cc0company/blob/main/agent-services/van-gogh-gen.md. [PAID: $0.069 USDC per call via x402; async — returns a job_id to poll]

TDQS

A3.6/5.0
Behavior4/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

With no annotations, the description carries the full burden and does well: it discloses the CC0 output license, the $0.069 USDC x402 payment requirement, and critically that the call is async and returns a job_id to poll. It does not mention rate limits, failure modes, or expected generation latency beyond the async note.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness3/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The style content is front-loaded and useful, but the definition is padded with two external URLs and a promotional framing of the fine-tuning provenance. The operationally critical payment/async note is buried in trailing brackets rather than surfaced early.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness4/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

For a single-prompt generator with no output schema, the description covers the key gaps: license, cost, and the async job_id polling contract. Documentation links compensate for the absence of an output schema, though nothing is said about result retrieval details or failure handling.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

There is a single parameter at 100% schema description coverage, so the schema already documents the prompt format, register, and 1000-char limit. The description points to canonical templates but adds no parameter detail beyond the schema, making the baseline 3 appropriate.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly establishes a text-to-image generation tool producing Van Gogh-style post-impressionist paintings, with concrete visual cues (swirling skies, wheat fields, sunflowers). It distinguishes itself from siblings like hokusai-gen and monet-gen via the artist/style, though the actual verb (generate an image) is implied rather than stated.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines3/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

Usage is implied by the style name and the sibling set of artist-style generators, so an agent can infer this is the Van Gogh option. However, there is no explicit when-to-use/when-not statement, no guidance on prompt register beyond the schema, and no comparison to the other *-gen tools.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
