85%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 a tightly written, well-sequenced process guide with concrete classification schemes, explicit validation checkpoints, and a ready-to-use report template; it wastes almost no tokens on things Claude already knows. Remaining gains are minor: trim the motivational framing and add a short example of the batched relay note it describes.
Suggestions
Trim the figurative framing sentences ('reviewer with a pager', 'not just grading their homework') to pure instruction — the role definition lands in two lines instead of six.
Add a two- or three-line example of the batched/ranked relay note format, since 'Relay Sparingly' is the most novel section and the only one with no concrete artifact.
Optionally include a one-line example of an 'add-on direction' (file + guard + test case) to make the diff-output requirement concrete.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is dense with non-obvious process guidance (anchoring failure mode, relay economics, issue taxonomy) and explains nothing Claude already knows, but a few rhetorical flourishes ('like a reviewer with a pager', 'You are not just grading their homework') are motivational padding that could be trimmed. This is the score-4 anchor ('efficient; minor instances of over-explanation'), not 5. | 4 / 5 |
Actionability | Concrete, executable instruction throughout: numbered procedures for each phase, a five-way issue classification, a copy-paste-ready report template, and specific directives ('reopen the cited files and line refs', 'Re-run the smallest useful validation after each meaningful fix'). It falls short of the score-5 anchor only because formats like the 'batched relay note' and 'add-on directions' are described but never exemplified. | 4 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | A clear mode-selection → target-resolution → contract → investigation → audit → fix → report sequence with explicit validation checkpoints ('Verify the watched agent's key claims against primary sources', 'Re-run the smallest useful validation after each meaningful fix') and error-recovery stop conditions ('If a fix would require a product decision... stop and report'). This matches the score-5 anchor with feedback loops and checklists. | 5 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | No bundle files exist (no references/, scripts/, or assets/ directories), and nothing in the body needs splitting out — every section is process guidance that belongs in SKILL.md. Section headers are clear and well-ordered, references are non-nested, and navigation is trivial, fitting the clean-structure score-5 anchor. | 5 / 5 |
