62%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 read-only status/help skill with clear workflow sequencing, good safety constraints, and thoughtful experience-level adaptation. Its main weaknesses are the lack of concrete executable examples (glob patterns, grep commands) for artifact detection and moderate verbosity in the FAQ and error handling sections. The progressive disclosure design is sound but unverifiable without bundle files.
Suggestions
Add concrete glob/grep patterns showing exactly how to detect pipeline artifacts (e.g., `Glob pattern: .arness/infra-specs/INFRA_*.md` or `Grep for 'status: reviewed'`), rather than deferring all detection logic to the external pipeline-map.md.
Trim the Step 5 FAQ section — most of these answers describe concepts Claude can infer from the workflow context, or could be moved to a separate reference file for progressive disclosure.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The skill is reasonably well-structured but includes some verbosity that could be tightened — e.g., the FAQ section in Step 5 explains concepts Claude could infer, and the error handling section repeats information already covered in prerequisites and workflow steps. The cross-plugin awareness logic is detailed but necessarily so given the complexity. | 2 / 3 |
Actionability | The skill provides clear procedural steps and specific file paths to check, but lacks concrete executable examples — there are no actual glob patterns, grep commands, or code snippets showing how to detect artifacts. The detection logic references pipeline-map.md for rules but doesn't show what those rules look like inline, making it dependent on an external file that wasn't provided in the bundle. | 2 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | The workflow is clearly sequenced (Steps 0-5) with explicit detection ordering (most advanced to least advanced, first match wins), clear branching logic for Quick vs Full Pipeline modes, experience-level adaptation, and well-defined error handling with specific recovery actions. The read-only constraint and validation of prerequisites before proceeding are good safety checkpoints. | 3 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | The skill references pipeline-map.md and experience-derivation.md as external references, which is good progressive disclosure design. However, no bundle files were provided, making it impossible to verify these references exist or are well-structured. The SKILL.md itself is fairly long (~180 lines) and some content like the FAQ section and detailed error handling could potentially be split into reference files. | 2 / 3 |
