72%Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.
The body is a lean, well-organized architectural standard that respects token budget and assumes Claude's competence. Its weakness is actionability: several rules are abstract declarations with no concrete enforcement guidance or examples.
Suggestions
Make abstract rules actionable: for 'No cross-layer leakage', specify the forbidden direction (e.g. 'Controllers must not call Eloquent models directly; route through a Service').
Add a short concrete example showing a correctly layered call (Controller -> Form Request -> Service -> Model) to anchor the rules.
Provide an enforcement/check step, such as a checklist or grep pattern, to verify layer boundaries during review.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is extremely lean ('No business logic allowed.', 'Constructor injection only', 'No service locators') with no padding or explanation of concepts Claude already knows, matching the 'lean and efficient; every token earns its place' anchor. | 3 / 3 |
Actionability | Several rules are concrete directives ('Constructor injection only', 'Services must remain framework-agnostic except for Laravel infrastructure (Eloquent, DB transactions, HTTP client, logging)'), but others are abstract ('No cross-layer leakage', 'Strict separation of concerns', 'Refactoring must preserve behavior') with no enforcement mechanism or example, fitting the 'some concrete guidance but incomplete' anchor. | 2 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | The content is organized into clear numbered sections, but this is a declarative standard rather than a multi-step process, so there is no sequence or validation checkpoint to clarify; it sits above the unclear anchor but below the explicit-workflow anchor at 3. | 2 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | The skill is under 50 lines with no external bundle files and is organized into well-signaled sections (Purpose, Layering Rules, Service Rules, Dependency Rules, Architecture Integrity), so per the simple-skills guideline well-organized sections alone justify a 3. | 3 / 3 |
