86%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.
An exemplary lean instruction skill: it adds only non-inferable operational facts, gives concrete rules (folder layout, privacy constraints, held-back-example protocol) with an explicit prove-before-done validation gate, and is appropriately organized for its size. The main gaps are unnumbered sequencing and the absence of an error-recovery loop when a held-back draft fails comparison.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is ~250 words covering a complex operational workflow, framed as 'What you cannot know without being told', so every bullet adds non-inferable, environment-specific facts (Cowork task semantics, Google Drive connector access, PII rules) with no padding or explanation of concepts Claude already knows. The 'checked 2026-11-14' stamp is source verification, not a versioned instruction, so it does not trigger the time-sensitivity penalty. | 5 / 5 |
Actionability | For an instruction-only skill the guidance is concrete: required tool-check reporting, the 'jobs/<job name>/' folder layout, working-paper privacy rules (first name and street only), exact sub-agent inputs, and a three-way comparison outcome ('send as written, one small edit, or rewrite'). It falls short of fully executable because the mechanical steps (how to actually create the Cowork scheduled task, how the sub-agent run is launched) are left implicit. | 4 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | A real sequence is present through internal ordering and explicit priorities ('Only then a Claude scheduled task. Custom code last.'), and there is an explicit final validation checkpoint (fresh sub-agent on held-back examples with per-draft comparison and a reported count). It does not reach 5 because no error-recovery loop is stated for when a draft fails the comparison, and the cross-bullet sequence is unnumbered. | 4 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | The skill is under 50 lines, has no bundle files, and needs no external references; each bullet carries a bold lead-in ('The business's own tools first.', 'One folder per job.', 'Proved before it is done.') that acts as a clear section label, making the content well-organized and scannable per the simple-skill exception. | 5 / 5 |
