85%Weight 40%Scale 1-3Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.
The skill body is a well-structured orchestrator playbook: actionable, sequenced with validation, and properly split across real reference files. Its only real weakness is mild verbosity in the motivational framing and per-stage rationales.
Suggestions
Trim the contextual framing ('Every serious research system… is the same loop', the Anthropic token-spend attribution) and condense each stage's '*Why:*' clause to one line to lift conciseness toward a 3.
Move the longer per-stage 'how' detail that currently overlaps with references/playbook.md fully out of SKILL.md so the body stays a lean overview pointing to the references.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | Most of the body is dense operational guidance Claude would not already know, but it carries contextual padding ('Every serious research system… is the same loop', 'Borrowed from Anthropic's finding…') and verbose per-stage 'why' rationales that could be tightened without losing the actionable signal. | 2 / 3 |
Actionability | Provides copy-paste-ready executable commands (the checkpoint.py invocations), a concrete claim-ledger schema row, a tier table with numeric budgets, and a fan-out decision — all grounded in real referenced scripts (verify_citations.py, checkpoint.py). | 3 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | A clearly sequenced five-stage pipeline with explicit validation checkpoints (VERIFY, stop-conditions, 'run verify_citations.py before you ship', 'Cap re-search on any single claim at 2 rounds', escalate one tier once) and feedback loops for the fragile verification stage. | 3 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | The body is an overview that signals one-level-deep references to real bundle files (references/playbook.md, verification.md, report-template.md, evidence-standards.md and scripts/verify_citations.py, checkpoint.py), each clearly named and scoped in a 'References (read as needed)' section plus inline pointers. | 3 / 3 |
