86%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.
An exemplary instruction-only skill: tight, concrete, and centered on verification for batch writes, with explicit failure-reporting semantics. The only real gap is an explicit recovery loop for when post-write verification fails.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is lean with no padding about concepts Claude already knows, and the run-budget context in 'Why' is genuinely non-obvious. A few clauses re-explain the obvious ("One atomic call commits or fails as a unit") and the Why partially restates the Rule, so it is not quite anchor 5. | 4 / 5 |
Actionability | Instruction-only but fully actionable: concrete directives ("pass the full batch in one call", "Re-read the data (a list/read action, a count query)") and copy-ready example reports like "saved 12 of 12 panels (ids ...)" and "updated 5 rows" cover the common cases. Per the rubric's code-vs-instruction note, the absence of code is not penalized. | 5 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | The five numbered steps are clearly sequenced with an explicit verification checkpoint (step 3) and an explicit failure path (step 5: report M of N, never round up). It falls short of anchor 5 because there is no fix/retry loop for the case where verification shows a mismatch — the recovery path for a failed check is implicit. | 4 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | A short, self-contained skill with clean sections (Rule, Why, How, Don't, Related) and no bundle files to disclose. The Related section points one level deep to named sibling skills and a single design-doc path, so navigation is easy and nothing that belongs in a separate file is inlined. | 5 / 5 |
