92%Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.
The content is a tight, highly actionable optimization workflow with explicit sequencing and validation gates, scoring at the top on conciseness, actionability, and workflow clarity. Its only real defect is the missing `REFERENCE.md` bundle file, which the skill references but does not ship.
Suggestions
Ship the referenced `REFERENCE.md` (sibling file) in the skill bundle, or remove the two 'read REFERENCE.md' references — as-is they violate the skill's own G4 gate (every cross-file reference points to an extant file).
Replace the editorial framing lines (e.g. 'the author has the worst judgment of their own work', 'aesthetic intuition is not') with the concrete rule they imply, to trim residual commentary.
Reconcile the data-flow block's '+ tessl + jq + bc installed' with the body, which deliberately uses awk to avoid a bc dependency — pick one and drop the stale bc mention.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is lean and tactical — executable bash, a flowchart, an ROI table, and a hard-gate table — and explicitly avoids over-explaining concepts Claude already knows ('The Tessl judge is the umpire; aesthetic intuition is not'), with a small amount of editorial color that does not pad it into verbosity. | 3 / 3 |
Actionability | Provides copy-paste-ready, executable commands — the jq score-extraction pipeline, rsync snapshot/revert, awk numeric comparison — plus concrete CLI flags and version notes (tessl 0.87, `--workspace`, `.review.reviewScore`), matching the fully-executable anchor. | 3 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | A clearly sequenced process (parse→validate→recall→baseline→iterate→spec-review→retain) with a mermaid flowchart and an acceptance-criteria table (G1–G6) defining explicit validation checkpoints and revert feedback loops ('Any failure → revert that iteration'). | 3 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | The body is structured as an overview that defers detail to a sibling `REFERENCE.md`, referenced twice and clearly signaled, but `REFERENCE.md` is not present in the bundle — the one-level-deep reference points to a non-existent file (a G4 violation the skill itself defines), so it cannot earn the clear-navigation anchor of 3. | 2 / 3 |
