Scored 56 because the two Python scripts are solid (safe division, type hints, benchmarks) but SKILL.md provides zero CLI commands for invoking them. Description is a single informational sentence with no trigger phrases — a significant miss for a skill from Anthropics. Description fix + CLI examples would push this to ~72.
