init

Destructive

Initialize SuperSkill for the current project by detecting the stack, indexing the in-repo catalog, and building the knowledge graph, without scraping external skills.

Instructions

Initialize superskill for the current project. Detects stack, indexes the in-repo catalog, builds the knowledge graph. Does not scrape skills.sh.

A3.6/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already flag destructiveHint=true; the description adds operational details (detects stack, indexes catalog, builds graph) and a useful negative boundary ('Does not scrape skills.sh'). It doesn't spell out that bridge replaces native skill files, though that appears in the parameter schema.

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

Conciseness5/5

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

Two tight sentences with the main action front-loaded and the negative boundary expressed in a single clause. No filler or redundant restatement.

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 one-optional-param tool with a destructive annotation and no output schema, the description covers the core workflow and an important non-behavior. It could add sibling routing or side-effect detail, but nothing essential is missing.

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?

Schema coverage is 100%, so the boolean bridge parameter is already fully documented. The tool description adds no parameter-level meaning beyond what the schema provides.

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?

States a clear verb ('Initialize'), resource ('superskill'), and scope ('current project'), then enumerates concrete steps: detects stack, indexes the in-repo catalog, builds the knowledge graph. It doesn't explicitly contrast with siblings like knowledge_rebuild, but the action is unambiguous.

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?

Implies first-time setup for the current project and explicitly rules out scraping skills.sh, but gives no when-to-use guidance versus alternatives such as knowledge_rebuild or generate_context, and no prerequisites.

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