Content

Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.

A well-engineered decision-routing skill: lean, highly actionable, and sequenced with validation checkpoints. Its one real defect is that all six referenced handoff-template files are missing, which breaks the otherwise good progressive-disclosure structure.

Suggestions

Create the six referenced handoff-template files under references/ (e.g. frame-problem-to-brainstorm-llm.md, frame-problem-to-probe-llm.md); every link in the References section currently points to a file absent from the bundle, breaking navigation.

Consolidate the duplicate 'LLM bias toward Complicated' warning — it appears in both Step 0 ('LLM bias warning') and the Anti-Patterns section — into one location to remove the redundancy.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

The body is information-dense with no padding of concepts Claude already knows; the only minor redundancy is the 'bias toward Complicated' warning appearing in both Step 0 and Anti-Patterns, which reads as deliberate reinforcement of a critical guardrail.

3 / 3

Actionability

Fully actionable for an instruction/routing skill: concrete triangulation questions (T1/T2/T3) with answer-to-domain mappings, an exact domain→verb→skill routing table, and copy-ready output templates with structured formats.

3 / 3

Workflow Clarity

A clearly sequenced 0→1→1.5→2→3 process with explicit validation checkpoints (Adjacent Domain Challenge, 'Confirm?') and a feedback loop for the AskUserQuestion empty-answer bug; no destructive/batch cap applies.

3 / 3

Progressive Disclosure

The References section signals six one-level-deep handoff templates with clear descriptions, but none of the referenced files exist in the bundle (the references/ directory is absent), so the navigation is broken.

Description

100%

Based on the skill's description, can an agent find and select it at the right time? Clear, specific descriptions lead to better discovery.

A strong, dense description that states concrete capabilities, provides explicit positive and negative triggers, and carves out a clear niche. It answers what, when, and when-not in a single concise sentence.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Lists multiple concrete actions — 'Classify problem using Cynefin triangulation (3 tests + decomposition) to route to the right skill chain' — naming classify, triangulate, decompose, and route rather than vague abstractions.

3 / 3

Completeness

Explicitly answers both what (classify/route via Cynefin) and when (the 'Use when' triggers), plus a negative 'NOT for known tasks — just do them' boundary.

3 / 3

Trigger Term Quality

The 'Use when: frame, what approach, how should I start, which skill, where to begin, unsure what to do' clause gives good coverage of natural phrases a user would actually say.

3 / 3

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

The Cynefin-based problem-framing niche plus the explicit 'NOT for known tasks' exclusion make it clearly distinguishable, though routing terms like 'which skill' are somewhat broad.
