68%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-organized, lean instructional skill whose main strength is concrete, copy-paste-ready templates plus explicit naming and frontmatter conventions. The weaknesses are the absence of an explicit numbered creation workflow with validation checkpoints, and the lack of a filled worked example or reference files for depth.
Suggestions
Add an explicit numbered workflow for creating a skill (e.g., 1. Run the interview, 2. Pick a type, 3. Copy the template, 4. Apply naming/frontmatter rules, 5. Verify) with a validation checkpoint that confirms name matches directory, description is under 40 words, and SKILL.md is under ~500 lines.
Include one fully filled example of a real generated skill (frontmatter plus body) so the bracketed template placeholders have a concrete worked reference.
Move the three full templates into a references/templates.md file and keep only the type-selection guidance inline, matching the skill's own advice to push depth into references/ and slimming SKILL.md further.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is lean and assumes Claude's competence — no padding with concepts Claude already knows, and every section (When to Use, Interview, Templates, Naming, Frontmatter, Anti-Patterns) earns its place. It is not a 5 because the frontmatter block is repeated verbatim across all three templates and the 'Related Skills' stub appears three times, minor redundancy that could be factored out. | 4 / 5 |
Actionability | Provides three complete copy-paste markdown templates, a concrete naming regex ('[a-z0-9-]', max 64 characters), a frontmatter field table, and specific anti-patterns — mostly executable guidance for an instruction-only skill. It falls short of anchor 5 because the templates are skeletons with bracketed placeholders and no filled worked example of a real generated skill, and there is no concrete scaffold command (e.g., creating the skill directory). | 4 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | The sections imply a logical order (Interview → choose a Type → apply the Template → Naming → Frontmatter → File Structure), but there is no explicit end-to-end numbered sequence for creating a skill, and validation checkpoints are absent — nothing tells the author to verify the result (e.g., name matches the directory, description is under 40 words, SKILL.md under 500 lines is only a tip, not a check). This matches anchor 3: sequence present but checkpoints missing or implicit. | 3 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | The skill is self-contained (~180 lines) with clean section structure, consistent heading hierarchy, and nothing inlined that clearly belongs in a separate file; navigation is easy. It does not reach anchor 5 because there are no references/ files at all despite the skill advising 'push depth into references/', and the three full templates could be split into a references/templates.md to slim the overview. | 4 / 5 |
