85%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-structured, highly actionable safety skill with clear workflows, explicit validation checkpoints, and good progressive disclosure. Its main weakness is moderate verbosity—the extensive command lists and evasion examples, while useful as reference, could be tightened or moved to a reference file to save tokens. Overall it effectively serves its purpose as a mandatory safety layer.
Suggestions
Consider moving the detailed BLOCKED/CONFIRM/ALLOWED command lists and evasion detection examples to a reference file (e.g., references/command_lists.md) and keeping only a few representative examples inline, since the guard script already handles classification.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The skill is fairly comprehensive but includes some redundancy. The extensive lists of BLOCKED, CONFIRM, and ALLOWED commands are valuable reference material but could be more concise—Claude already understands most of these danger levels. The evasion detection examples are useful but slightly verbose with comments restating the obvious. | 2 / 3 |
Actionability | Highly actionable with a concrete guard script to run (`scripts/command_guard.py --command "<the_command>"`), specific JSON output format, exact response templates for BLOCKED commands, and clear quick-start examples. The workflow is copy-paste ready and leaves no ambiguity about what to do. | 3 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | The mandatory workflow is clearly sequenced (Parse → Run guard → Act on verdict → Never bypass), with explicit validation via the guard script, clear branching logic for each verdict level, and a well-defined failure handling section that covers edge cases like unparseable commands or unavailable guard scripts. | 3 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | The skill provides a clear overview and detailed inline content that is appropriate for the safety-critical nature of the skill, while pointing to `references/dangerous_commands.md` for deeper regex patterns and edge cases. The 'When To Read References' section clearly signals when to consult the external file, keeping it one level deep. | 3 / 3 |
