45%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.
The body is token-efficient and cleanly sectioned, but it functions as a persona statement plus label lists rather than operational guidance. None of the four advertised skills has a procedure, irreversible operations like refunds have no confirmation or validation checkpoint, and payment processing and plan changes lack any tool or steps.
Suggestions
Add a short step-by-step procedure for each skill — e.g., refund handling: look up the invoice with get_invoice → check refund eligibility → confirm the amount with the customer → issue process_refund → report the result.
Add validation checkpoints before irreversible actions: confirm with the customer (and against the invoice) before calling process_refund, and verify the requested plan before applying a change.
Provide concrete guidance for 'Payment processing' and 'Plan changes and upgrades', which currently have no tools and no instructions — either name the tools to use or describe the concrete steps to take.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is lean with zero padding and no explanation of concepts Claude already knows; the only flaw is redundancy — the opening line 'You help customers with invoices, payments, refunds, and plan changes' restates the '## Skills' bullet list verbatim. That minor trimmable redundancy places it at anchor 4 ('efficient; minor instances that could be trimmed') rather than 5's 'every token earns its place'. | 4 / 5 |
Actionability | Concrete guidance is limited to two tool names with one-line descriptions ('get_invoice: Retrieve customer invoices', 'process_refund: Issue refunds'); the four skill entries ('Payment processing', 'Refund handling', 'Plan changes and upgrades') are bare labels with no steps, criteria, or examples — and two of them have no corresponding tool. This matches anchor 2 ('minimal concrete guidance; high-level hints but missing the specific steps'), not 3, because no skill area has a complete or near-complete procedure. | 2 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | There is no sequence at all: no steps for handling a refund, payment, or plan change, and no validation before irreversible financial actions like process_refund, matching anchor 1 ('steps missing or incoherent; no sequence; no validation for risky operations'). It is not 2 because even a rough sequence is absent, and the simple-skill exception does not apply since the skill declares four distinct multi-step task areas. | 1 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | The body is under 50 lines with no external references needed (no references/, scripts/, or assets/ files exist in the bundle), and it is organized into clear '## Skills' and '## Tools' sections. Per the rubric's guideline for short, self-contained skills, well-organized sections alone warrant a 5. | 5 / 5 |
