81%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 well-orchestrated, highly actionable skill body: clear step sequence, pervasive validation and feedback loops, and appropriate offloading of the two large procedures to real reference files. The residual gaps are minor — some verbose dialogue blocks and a few cross-skill procedure pointers that break self-contained navigation.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is dense operational instruction with essentially no explanation of concepts Claude already knows — every section prescribes checks, exact paths, or decision branches. Minor trimming is available (the AskUserQuestion prose blocks are verbose, and task-recreation guidance repeats across Step 2 and Error Handling), which keeps it at anchor 4 rather than 5, but it is well above anchor 3's 'some unnecessary explanation'. | 4 / 5 |
Actionability | Guidance is concrete throughout: exact directory structure to verify, exact user-facing questions with numbered options, specific commands ('gh issue create'), and explicit fallback branches for executor/reviewer failures and resume errors. It falls short of anchor 5 mainly because some steps defer to material not directly resolvable from this skill — e.g. 'run the template version check procedure documented in arn-code-save-plan Step 1' — leaving the orchestrator to chase a cross-skill document. | 4 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | Steps 1–5 are explicitly sequenced with validation checkpoints at every phase: structure verification before execution, user confirmation before starting the batch, and an execute→review→gate cycle with a retry cap (2), escalation to the user, and abort options. This batch operation has textbook feedback loops and error-recovery paths, matching anchor 5 exactly. | 5 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | The SKILL.md is a genuine overview: the 12KB dispatch algorithm and pattern-refresh procedure are split into well-signaled, real, one-level-deep reference files ('Read ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/arn-code-execute-plan/references/dispatch-loop.md'). It falls short of anchor 5 because navigation depends partly on cross-skill pointers the reader must hunt down — dispatch-loop.md repeatedly points into arn-code-ensure-config/references/ensure-config.md, and Step 1 defers to a named step inside arn-code-save-plan — which weakens 'easy navigation'. | 4 / 5 |
