Content
77%Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.
The body is a well-sequenced, actionable instruction skill with explicit quality-gate checkpoints, but it is padded by a large inline output template and its key reference/template files are absent from the bundle, weakening progressive disclosure and conciseness.
Suggestions
Move the ~160-line brief output template into a separate references file (e.g. references/brief-template.md) and link to it, keeping only a short schema sketch inline to tighten conciseness and improve progressive disclosure.
Either include the referenced files (skills/blog/references/*.md, skills/blog/templates/[type].md) in the bundle or correct the paths so signaled references resolve to real files.
Add an explicit validation/review checkpoint in Step 6 (e.g. verify all statistics have provenance and all cited URLs resolve) before saving the brief, to strengthen the workflow feedback loop around the final artifact.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is mostly efficient and assumes Claude's competence, but the ~160-line inline brief output template and the full 12-template table are substantial inline content that pads the file; it is not level-1 verbose (no basic-concept explanations) but not the lean level-3 either. | 2 / 3 |
Actionability | Guidance is concrete and executable for an instruction-only skill: numbered steps, exact search-query templates, a fully specified output schema, explicit safe-WebFetch rules, and provenance requirements — copy-ready rather than abstract. | 3 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | A clear six-step sequence is given with explicit quality gates/checkpoints — 'mark surfaces as unavailable when not directly checked', 'Drop unverifiable statistics', 'validate source URLs before citing', label snippet-only estimates — providing feedback loops for the fragile research operations. | 3 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | References are signaled and conceptually one level deep, but the referenced paths (skills/blog/references/*.md and skills/blog/templates/*.md) do not exist in the bundle, and the large inline brief template is content that could be split out — structure is present but not cleanly realized at level 3. | 2 / 3 |
