73%Weight 40%Scale 1-5Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.
A strong, well-sequenced instruction-only skill: the workflow is explicit with real validation checkpoints and feedback loops, and the guidance is highly concrete. Its main weakness is redundancy — mode budgets and the packet schema are each repeated across multiple sections — plus the absence of a worked example.
Suggestions
State the Light/Deep budget numbers once (keep the Key Constraints table) and have Phase 2 and the Defaults section reference that table instead of restating the caps.
Merge the Phase 4 sub-agent output schema with the "Evidence Packet (What Goes In One)" section into a single packet spec to remove near-duplicate lists.
Add one short filled-in example evidence packet file and one completed reference entry to push actionability toward anchor 5.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is dense and free of concept-explaining padding, but the Light/Deep budgets are stated in three places (Defaults section, Key Constraints table, Phase 2) and the Phase 4 sub-agent output schema largely duplicates the "Evidence Packet" section. This is "mostly efficient but could be tightened" (anchor 3) rather than minor trimming (anchor 4). | 3 / 5 |
Actionability | Highly concrete instruction guidance: fixed budgets (3–5 sources, max 5 bullets / 2 quotes per packet), naming conventions (EP-###-claim-slug.md), a folder structure, a citation entry template, and a strict sub-agent output schema. Falls just short of anchor 5 because no worked example of a filled evidence packet or reference entry is provided. | 4 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | Phases 0–6 are explicitly sequenced with an overview line, validation is explicit (stop condition, no-source fallback, Phase 6 claim-to-evidence trace checklist), and feedback loops exist (5-step escalation ladder; pause-and-request-packet rule when new claims appear while drafting). This matches anchor 5; anchor 4 would require missing checkpoints, which are present. | 5 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | A single-file skill with no bundle directories, judged on body structure: clear headers, a glanceability table, no buried or nested references. At ~215 lines it exceeds the under-50-line simple-skill exception, and sections like the packet schema or citation format could eventually split into reference files, so anchor 4 (good structure, minor organization gaps) fits better than 5. | 4 / 5 |
