78%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 exemplar of lean, non-padded instruction for a simple, non-destructive writing skill. The only real gap is actionability: it gives clear rules but no concrete example of the expected output format or how an evidence reference should be cited.
Suggestions
Add one short before/after or worked example showing the expected comparison output and the exact form an evidence reference should take (e.g., '[Evidence #2, FY2024]'), so the rules translate directly into executable output.
Optionally add a final 'Verify' bullet (e.g., 'Confirm every conclusion has a cited reference and every missing period is noted as a limitation') to give the single task an explicit self-check.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | Four one-line imperatives with zero padding and no explanation of concepts Claude already knows; every token earns its place, matching the 'lean and efficient; assumes Claude's competence' anchor. | 5 / 5 |
Actionability | The rules are concrete directives ("Keep the metric name, period, value, and unit unchanged," "Bind each conclusion to the evidence reference"), but as an instruction-only skill it stops short of showing an example output or the exact reference syntax, leaving a key executable detail implicit; this fits 'some concrete guidance but incomplete.' | 3 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | For a simple single-purpose skill the four bullets give a clear, ordered set of writing rules with an implicit self-check (state missing periods as limitations instead of filling gaps); there is no explicit validate/verify step, but the task is non-destructive, so it sits just below the explicit-checkpoint anchor at 5. | 4 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | The skill is under 50 lines, single-purpose, has no bundle files (no references/, scripts/, or assets/ directories exist), and is organized as a titled heading plus a tight bullet list; per the simple-skill guidance this earns a 5 with no external references needed. | 5 / 5 |
