measure
Quantify values with uncertainty bounds. Use when estimating metrics, calculating risk scores, assessing magnitude, or measuring any quantifiable property.
npx skills add majiayu000/claude-skill-registry --skill measure --agent claude-code
Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
## Intent Quantify a specific metric for a target, providing a numerical value with explicit uncertainty bounds. This capability consolidates all estimation tasks (risk, impact, effort, etc.) into a single parameterized operation. **Success criteria:** - Numerical value provided for requested metric - Uncertainty bounds explicitly stated - Measurement method documented - Units clearly specified **Compatible schemas:** - `schemas/output_schema.yaml` ## Inputs | Parameter | Required | Type | Description | |-----------|----------|------|-------------| | `target` | Yes | any | What to measure (system, code, entity, process) | | `metric` | Yes | string | The metric to quantify (risk, complexity, effort, size, etc.) | | `unit` | No | string | Unit of measurement (optional, inferred if not provided) | | `method` | No | string | Measurement approach (heuristic, statistical, model-based) | ## Procedure 1) **Define the metric**: Clarify exactly what is being measured - Establish clear definition of the metric - Identify appropriate unit of measurement - Determine measurement methodology 2) **Gather measurement inputs**: Collect data needed for measurement - Read relevant files, logs, or data

What does the measure skill do?
Quantify values with uncertainty bounds. Use when estimating metrics, calculating risk scores, assessing magnitude, or measuring any quantifiable property.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add majiayu000/claude-skill-registry --skill measure --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From majiayu000/claude-skill-registry, a repository with 534 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
