77%Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.
This is a well-crafted meta-skill with excellent workflow clarity and actionability. The interview structure is thoughtfully designed with progressive rounds, and every step has explicit success criteria. The main weakness is moderate verbosity — some sections explain things Claude would already know (like what frontmatter fields mean) and the document could be ~20% shorter without losing clarity.
Suggestions
Trim the frontmatter rules section — Claude already understands YAML frontmatter semantics; focus only on project-specific conventions like the allowed-tools pattern syntax.
Consider extracting the 'Per-step annotations' reference and 'Step structure tips' into a companion file (e.g., SKILL_TEMPLATE.md) to keep the main skill leaner and improve progressive disclosure.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The skill is fairly well-written but includes some unnecessary verbosity, such as explaining what each frontmatter field means (Claude already knows YAML) and some redundant phrasing. The step annotations section and frontmatter rules could be tightened, though most content earns its place given the complexity of the task. | 2 / 3 |
Actionability | The skill provides highly concrete, actionable guidance: specific interview rounds with exact questions to ask, a complete SKILL.md template with frontmatter format, exact annotation types to use, and clear instructions for each phase. The markdown template is copy-paste ready and the interview structure is specific enough to execute directly. | 3 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | The 4-step workflow is clearly sequenced with explicit success criteria on every step. It includes a human checkpoint (Review and Save step with AskUserQuestion confirmation before writing), feedback loops (iterate until user is happy in each interview round), and clear progression from analysis → interview → write → review. | 3 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | The content is well-structured with clear headers and sub-sections, but it's a fairly long monolithic document (~150 lines of instruction). The step annotations, frontmatter rules, and step structure tips sections could potentially be split into reference files. However, for a skill of this complexity, keeping it in one file is defensible. | 2 / 3 |
