write-template-playbooks

Write a template playbook for the build-an-agent skill: a 1-2 KB per-use-case file that teaches the builder agent to configure one kind of Agenta agent (changelog writer, issue triager, support router, and so on). Use when the ask is "write a template playbook", "add an agent template", "author a playbook for the build-an-agent skill", or "write the <X> playbook". Encodes the file format, the prompting checklist, and the platform facts authors get wrong.

Quality

Content

100%

Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.

An instruction-only skill body that is dense with non-obvious domain knowledge, highly actionable (exact JSON shapes, tool names, and UI copy), and well-sequenced with validation checkpoints. Progressive disclosure is clean: an overview body pointing to two real, clearly-signaled reference files via a purpose table.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

Lean and assumes Claude's competence: it carries only non-obvious domain knowledge (the fill-in skeleton, the three counterintuitive platform facts) and explicitly forbids re-teaching what Claude knows ('A playbook that re-teaches these wastes the 1-2 KB budget and drifts from the source of truth'). Every section earns its tokens.

3 / 3

Actionability

Gives a concrete fill-in skeleton plus exact, copy-ready specifics: JSON shapes like '{type: "array", items: {type: "string", enum: [...]}}', 'oneOf: [{const, title, description}]', and 'x-ag-stepper': true', exact tool/field names (discover_tools, test_run, delta.set.parameters.agent.tools), and exact UI copy ('Lightning "Test event"', 'Play "Run"'). Not pseudocode or abstract direction.

3 / 3

Workflow Clarity

Sequenced process with explicit validation: the skeleton is mapped to the build loop ('Every section maps to the build loop: Match to step one…'), and the Verify section is a numbered checklist with a checkpoint ('read the verdict and the tools line, not a 200') and a trigger-test sequence. Not a 2 because validation checkpoints are explicit, not implicit.

3 / 3

Progressive Disclosure

The body is an overview with a well-signaled 'Read a reference when' table pointing to real one-level-deep bundle files (references/prompting-checklist.md and references/worked-example.md, both present), each paired with the task that needs it. No deep nesting; navigation is easy.

Description

100%

Based on the skill's description, can an agent find and select it at the right time? Clear, specific descriptions lead to better discovery.

A strong, complete description: it states concrete actions, gives natural-language trigger phrases a user would actually say, answers both 'what' and 'when' explicitly, and occupies a distinctive niche. No vagueness, padding, or voice violations.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Lists multiple concrete actions — 'Write a template playbook', 'teaches the builder agent to configure one kind of Agenta agent', with named use cases (changelog writer, issue triager, support router), and 'Encodes the file format, the prompting checklist, and the platform facts authors get wrong'. Not a 2 because the actions are comprehensive and specific rather than a partial domain naming.

3 / 3

Completeness

Clearly answers both what (write a 1-2 KB per-use-case playbook that teaches the builder agent to configure an Agenta agent) and when (an explicit 'Use when…' clause with four concrete triggers). Not a 2 because the 'when' is explicit, not implied.

3 / 3

Trigger Term Quality

Provides natural user phrasings via 'Use when the ask is "write a template playbook", "add an agent template", "author a playbook for the build-an-agent skill", or "write the <X> playbook"' — terms a user would actually say. Good coverage of common variations, not jargon.

3 / 3

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

Scoped to a clear niche — 'template playbook for the build-an-agent skill' / 'Agenta agent' — with distinct triggers unlikely to fire for unrelated skills. Voice is third person ('Write', 'Encodes'), so no specificity penalty applies.
