Top fixes — ranked by score impact

VERIFY-01 Evals or tests present
SKILL.md:1the skill works no evals/, tests/, or verification section found
No way to prove the skill does what it claims.
Fix Add an evals/ folder (test prompts + expected outcomes) and a '## Verify' step in the body.
TRIGGER-03 Invocation cues in the description
SKILL.md:1description will match user requests no explicit cue ('use when …', 'triggers on …', quoted user phrases) found
Pure what-it-does prose — the model has to guess when to invoke it.
Replace with description of the skill and when Claude should use it.
Fix State the trigger explicitly: 'Use when the user says "…", "…", or wants to …'.
TRIGGER-02 Description long enough to anchor invocation
SKILL.md:1description will trigger invocation 68 chars — under the ~100-char reliable-trigger band
Description is thin — likely under-specifies when to invoke.
Replace with description of the skill and when Claude should use it.
Fix Add the concrete use case and user phrasing (e.g. 'Use when the user says …').
