93%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 an exemplary lean skill: a complete template, hard rules for every field, explicit gate exemptions, and a verify command, all in under 50 lines. Its only gap is the absence of an explicit fix-and-revalidate loop and a sequenced decision flow for the skip-vs-label path.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The ~45-line body is pure operational rules ("the body is present tense, user language, one to three sentences, and at most 400 characters") with no explanation of concepts Claude already knows and no padding. Every token earns its place. | 5 / 5 |
Actionability | It provides a copy-paste-ready note template with full frontmatter, enumerated valid types ("breaking, feature, fix, perf, or internal"), exact limits (400 chars, 60-char highlight), the file naming pattern, and a runnable verify command (`pnpm run release:notes:validate`). | 5 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | The single action (author a note, or apply no-release-note) is unambiguous and a validation checkpoint exists in the Verify section, but there is no error-recovery loop (what to do when the gate or validator fails) and the skip-vs-write decision path is not sequenced. Not 5 because the validation feedback loop is implicit. | 4 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | Under 50 lines with well-organized sections and no bundle files; the two pointers that exist ("Full format: `.changes/README.md`" and the gate-policy script path) are clearly signaled and exactly one level deep. | 5 / 5 |
