77%Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.
This is a well-structured, highly actionable skill with clear workflow sequencing, explicit validation checkpoints, and thorough error handling. Its main weakness is length — the inline agent prompt templates and experience-level presentation formats add bulk that could be extracted into reference files. The skill demonstrates strong infrastructure domain knowledge with appropriate ordering concepts (provisioning dependency, blast radius, rollback checkpoints).
Suggestions
Extract the agent invocation prompt templates (Step 3 and Step 4b) into a reference file to reduce the main skill's token footprint.
Consider moving the experience-level presentation formats (Expert/Intermediate/Beginner) into a shared reference file, as these likely repeat across multiple skills in the pipeline.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The skill is fairly long (~200 lines) with some verbosity, particularly in the agent invocation prompt templates which are repeated twice with slight variations. The experience-level presentation formats and error handling are thorough but could be more compact. However, it avoids explaining basic concepts Claude already knows and most content is genuinely instructive. | 2 / 3 |
Actionability | The skill provides highly concrete, step-by-step guidance with specific file paths, exact naming conventions (PLAN_PREVIEW_INFRA_<spec-name>.md), precise agent invocation templates, specific user prompts to use, and detailed file lookup logic with fallback chains. Every step tells Claude exactly what to do. | 3 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | The workflow is clearly sequenced across 5 steps with explicit validation checkpoints: checking for existing plans before regenerating, a feedback loop (Step 4 -> 4b -> back to 4) for iterative refinement, explicit approval gates before proceeding, and comprehensive error handling with recovery paths for each failure mode. | 3 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | The skill references external files (blast-radius-guide.md, experience-derivation.md, ensure-config.md, agent-models/infra.md) with clear paths, which is good. However, no bundle files were provided to verify these references, and the skill itself is quite long — the agent prompt templates and experience-level presentation formats could potentially be extracted into reference files to keep the main skill leaner. | 2 / 3 |
