100%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 lean, single-purpose skill body: exact executable commands, pre-flight and failure checkpoints, explicit safety guardrails, and a concrete worked example, all in about two dozen lines with zero padding. No material weaknesses found against the rubric.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | Every sentence is operational ("set a finite timeout, normally 10 minutes", "the published exit-code contract is incomplete", "Never request, read, print, or copy credentials") with no padding and no explanation of concepts Claude already knows. It matches the lean 5-anchor; I could not identify tokens that fail to earn their place, so the 4-anchor's 'minor instances of over-explanation' does not apply. | 5 / 5 |
Actionability | The guidance is copy-paste ready: `command -v copilot` for the pre-check, the exact command `copilot -p "<prompt>" -s --output-format json --no-ask-user`, explicit failure semantics ("treat an error event or nonzero exit as failure"), and a worked example (explain a failing test without modifying files) covering the common case. The only gap — no example `--allow-tool` entry — is a deliberately narrow secondary path, which keeps it at 5 rather than dropping to 4. | 5 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | A clear 3-step sequence with explicit validation checkpoints: availability check with stop-and-ask on failure, error-event/nonzero-exit failure detection, and auth-failure handling. The simple-skill exception applies (single unambiguous action, under 50 lines) and the skill is neither destructive nor batch, so the cap does not bind; no actual validation gap remains for the 4-anchor. | 5 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | The body is under 50 lines, contains no bundle files and references none (the references/scripts/assets directories do not exist), and is organized into two well-labeled sections (Run, Authentication And Permissions). This matches the guideline that short skills with no need for external references score 5 with well-organized sections. | 5 / 5 |
