73%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-structured, highly actionable skill body with an exemplary validation loop (screenshot gate, checkpoints, restore-on-failure) and a properly signaled one-level-deep reference. The main cost is duplication between the body's inline tables/lists and the reference file, which inflates token use without adding new guidance.
Suggestions
Trim the body's Stable Layer Stack table, Change-Type Split, Failure Signals, and confirmation lists to one-line pointers and keep the full detail in references/workflow-reference.md, since those sections are already covered there.
Specify the concrete commands for 'Format CSS' (e.g., a prettier/npx command) and for reloading/focusing Obsidian so every loop step is copy-paste executable.
Merge the overlapping mapping explanations from 'Translate Before Editing' into the Operating Loop or the reference to remove the repeated translation prose.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | Mostly skill-specific, non-obvious content (layer stack, ownership model, checkpoint discipline), but the body duplicates material that also lives in references/workflow-reference.md (surface map table, change-type split, failure signals, what-not-to-change-first, confirmation zone), and prose like "This is not a general CSS workflow and not a fixed-theme generator" plus repeated mapping explanations in 'Translate Before Editing' could be tightened. Not 4-5 because the duplication is a real token cost; not 2 because nearly all content is Obsidian-specific rather than concepts Claude already knows. | 3 / 5 |
Actionability | Concrete, executable guidance throughout: exact paths ("<vault>/.obsidian/appearance.json", "enabledCssSnippets", ".obsidian/snippet-archive/"), a runnable command ("screencapture -R<x,y,w,h> out.png"), a mapping template, and concrete user-phrase examples. Not 5 because a few steps remain unspecified ("Format CSS" names no tool/command; "Reload/focus Obsidian" gives no mechanism beyond the AppleScript aside). | 4 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | The 13-step Operating Loop is clearly sequenced with explicit validation: the Screenshot Gate ("CSS validity is not visual success"), failure-signal diagnosis mapping user corrections to causes, feedback loops ("If a direction fails twice, restore the last good checkpoint and change the ownership model"), and a Refactor Rule requiring diff checks and unchanged screenshots. Matches the anchor-5 pattern of explicit validation steps, error-recovery loops, and checklists. | 5 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | The single reference (references/workflow-reference.md) is real, well-organized, and one level deep with no nested references, and the body signals it clearly in a dedicated 'Use The Reference' section with explicit read-when conditions. Not 5 because the split is imperfect: substantial reference material (surface map, change-type map, failure signals, confirmation zone) is duplicated inline in the body rather than cleanly deferred. | 4 / 5 |
