82%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.
A disciplined, token-efficient audit procedure with strong boundaries and clear sequencing, appropriate for a read-only orchestrator skill in a larger ads plugin. Its main weakness is that several delegation points (the operating contract, the JSON contracts, the schemas) are referenced by role rather than by file name, slightly weakening actionability and navigation.
Suggestions
Name the file path for the 'main ads operating contract and thinking framework' (as done for ads/references/youtube-audit.md) so step 1 is directly actionable.
Link or name the 'common JSON contracts' files the findings must conform to, so the output step does not depend on out-of-band knowledge.
Add an explicit validate-fix-retry loop for the findings step (e.g., re-check schema validity and contradictions before returning to the conductor).
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The ~34-line body is lean and assumes Claude's competence: every line is an operational directive ("Collect objective, conversion definition, account and campaign age, geography..."), with zero explanation of concepts Claude already knows. Matches the 5 anchor (every token earns its place); not 4, since there is nothing to trim. | 5 / 5 |
Actionability | Guidance is mostly executable for an instruction-only skill: a specific inputs checklist, a named reference file with resolution paths ("Read ads/references/youtube-audit.md"), and explicit output categories. Minor gaps keep it below 5: "Read the main ads operating contract and thinking framework" and "the common JSON contracts" name no files, so those steps are not directly actionable. Not 3, since the key steps do contain concrete, executable specifics. | 4 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | The 8-step Procedure is clearly sequenced with most checkpoints present ("Mark uncertainty and contradictions", "Return schema-valid findings", "Keep every account change as a draft until the main mutation gate passes"). Not 5: error-recovery feedback loops are only implied via "recovery hints" rather than explicit validate-fix-retry steps. Not 3: the skill is read-only, so the destructive/batch validation cap does not apply, and checkpoints for the risky step (mutations) are explicit. | 4 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | Well-organized Procedure/Boundaries/Output structure; the main external reference (ads/references/youtube-audit.md) is clearly signaled, one level deep, with unusually thorough path-resolution guidance. Not 5: the step-1 "main ads operating contract" reference is unnamed and the JSON contracts are not linked, leaving a minor navigation gap into the referenced material. Not 3: the body is an appropriately split overview, not inlined reference content. | 4 / 5 |
