71%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 highly actionable and specific, with concrete tool actions, a complete markdown format example, and an explicit creation workflow with confirmation gates. Its main weaknesses are duplicated statements about MCP allowlist/parameter support and heavy inlined implementation detail (event bus, condition evaluator, failure telemetry) that should be split into reference files.
Suggestions
Remove the duplicate paragraph restating that manage-automations supports model, reasoning_effort, and mcpTools on define/update with an enforced (not advisory) MCP allowlist — state it once in the Agent Tools section.
Move the Event Bus API table, Condition Evaluator internals (caching TTL, payload truncation), and Failure Handling telemetry details (automation_hash derivation, reaper windows) into a reference file, keeping SKILL.md to an overview with clearly signaled links.
Add brief recovery guidance for the agent when define/update fails validation or an event name cannot be found, to close the workflow-clarity gap.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is dense with non-obvious internal facts rather than padded filler, but the MCP-allowlist enforcement and define/update parameter support are stated twice nearly verbatim, and telemetry minutiae (automation_hash sha256 derivation, 25-hour reaper windows) add avoidable tokens. | 3 / 5 |
Actionability | Fully executable guidance: exact manage-automations action names with parameters and constraints, a complete frontmatter example, an executable event-bus TypeScript snippet, and a worked end-to-end example covering the common event-trigger case. | 5 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | The 7-step "How It Works" sequence is clear, and risky operations carry explicit checkpoints (user confirmation for define/update, confirmation before delete, explicit authorization for run-now). Feedback loops telling the agent how to recover from a failed define or an invalid trigger are missing. | 4 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | Section headers are clear, but with no bundle files the ~340-line body inlines event-bus API tables, condition-evaluator internals, and failure-handling detail that clearly belong in separate reference files. | 3 / 5 |
