tool-design
An AI agent skill from muratcankoylan/Agent-Skills-for-Context-Engineering, scored 74 out of 100 by code.
Code score by group
It loses the most points in Description (8), the group that checks whether the description says what the skill does and when to use it.
What the author says it does
This skill should be used for the tool-interface layer of an agent system specifically: writing tool descriptions agents can route on, designing tool schemas and response formats, naming conventions, actionable error recovery messages, MCP server design, tool-set consolidation, and deciding when to add or remove an individual tool. Use this when the unit of work is a single tool or a set of tools. Route project-shape, pipeline architecture, and task-model-fit decisions to project-development; route deciding whether to introduce sub-agents to multi-agent-patterns.
