57%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.
The body is well-structured with actionable commands and checklists, but suffers from redundancy (B2/B3 duplicating B, a restated quick-reference table), a missing fix-and-re-verify feedback loop for a batch-modification skill, and detailed-guide references that point to files not shipped in the bundle.
Suggestions
Add an explicit feedback loop: after applying fixes for found issues, re-run the grep checks (e.g. `grep -r "patternYouChanged" src/`) to confirm no remaining occurrences before reporting done.
Merge Dimensions B2 and B3 into Dimension B and remove or trim the Common Issues Quick Reference table, which restates checklist content — this would tighten the skill considerably.
Resolve the dangling `.trellis/spec/guides/*.md` references: either ship the guides in a `references/` directory with skill-relative paths, or remove the "Detailed Guide" pointers so navigation never dead-ends.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | Mostly efficient with concrete tables and checklists, but includes tightening opportunities: the motivational opener ("Most bugs come from 'didn't think of it', not lack of technical skill"), the Common Issues Quick Reference table restating checklist content, and Dimensions B2/B3 largely duplicating Dimension B's items. This is more than the "minor instances" of anchor 4, so anchor 3 fits best. | 3 / 5 |
Actionability | Provides executable commands ("git status", "git diff --name-only", "grep -r \"value-to-change\" src/"), a layer-location table with real directory names, and itemized checklists. The grep commands are placeholder templates requiring substitution, so guidance is mostly executable with minor gaps (anchor 4) rather than fully copy-paste ready (anchor 5). | 4 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | A clear sequence exists (identify scope, select dimensions, run checklists, report output) and the checklists act as checkpoints, but there is no fix-and-re-verify feedback loop — the workflow ends at "Issues found and fix suggestions". Because the skill is explicitly triggered after batch file modifications, the rubric's batch-operation cap limits workflow_clarity to 3. | 3 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | Section structure is clear with per-dimension headers and clearly signaled "Detailed Guide" pointers, but all referenced guides (e.g. ".trellis/spec/guides/cross-layer-thinking-guide.md") are absent from the skill bundle, leaving the reference layer dangling. Structure could be better organized (bundle the guides or remove the pointers), matching anchor 3 rather than the minor-gaps anchor at 4. | 3 / 5 |
