Skill Trigger Eval

Category: General  ·  Sub-category: automation  ·  Last updated:
Measure whether a skill's description triggers on the prompts it should and stays quiet on the ones it should not, using a labelled prompt set and transparent lexical scoring, and compare two description versions by precision and recall. Use when asked \"will this description trigger?\", before and after rewriting a description, or to find two skills competing for one prompt. Not for predicting the host's real choice, which a model makes; this is a proxy.

From the source SKILL.md

Rewriting a description is guesswork unless something measures it. This skill writes a small labelled prompt set for a skill (requests that should load it and near misses that should not), scores the description against every prompt with rules you can read in one paragraph, and reports precision and recall. Run it before and after a rewrite and the comparison shows which prompts the new wording gained or lost. The scoring is lexical, so it is a proxy: it catches descriptions that plainly miss or plainly attract a prompt, and it does not predict what the host's model will choose.

What this skill does

Skill Trigger Eval is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the automation sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/skill-trigger-eval/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.

When to invoke it: Use when asked \"will this description trigger?\", before and after rewriting a description, or to find two skills competing for one prompt. Not for predicting the host's real choice, which a model makes; this is a proxy.
