devtools-ux-writing-refactor

Refactor user-facing UIStrings and localization comments in a DevTools module folder according to UX writing guidelines (child task of b/40799900). Use when simplifying wording, checking sentence case, or improving L10n comments in UIStrings for a specific folder or issue. Don’t use for general code changes or non-UIStrings files.

Quality

Content

88%Weight 40%Scale 1-5

Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.

A thorough, highly actionable workflow with strong sequencing, validation checkpoints, and a critique feedback loop tailored to a destructive-ish batch refactoring task. Main weakness is mild verbosity and absence of bundle files to split the long checklist.

Suggestions

De-duplicate the casing rules (stated in both checklist point 5 and point 8) into a single canonical block to trim tokens.

Consider moving the 8-point checklist detail into a references/ file (e.g. UX_CHECKLIST.md) with a one-line pointer, keeping SKILL.md as an overview.

The external style-guide path (google3/experimental/users/...) is internal-only and likely unreachable for most agents; note that or link a public equivalent to avoid dead-end navigation.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

Mostly lean and filled with project-specific conventions Claude would not already know, though the casing rules are restated across points 5 and 8 and a few passages could be tightened.

4 / 5

Actionability

Provides copy-paste-ready commands (gclient sync, git new-branch, npm run lint/test, git cl presubmit/upload) and concrete word-swap examples (preserve -> keep), covering the common cases fully.

5 / 5

Workflow Clarity

A clearly numbered 0-8 sequence with explicit validation checkpoints (pre-flight issue check, pause for confirmation, mandatory lint/test/presubmit) and a feedback loop (iterative subagent critique until approval).

5 / 5

Progressive Disclosure

Well-sectioned single-file structure with no nested references and appropriately inlined core procedure, but no bundle files are used to offload the lengthy checklist or style-guide pointer, leaving minor organization gaps.

Description

87%Weight 40%Scale 1-5

Based on the skill's description, can an agent find and select it at the right time? Clear, specific descriptions lead to better discovery.

A strong, specific description that clearly answers both what the skill does and when to use it, with an explicit exclusion clause to reduce misuse. Trigger terms and distinctiveness are well-handled for this narrow DevTools domain.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Names the DevTools UIStrings/L10n domain and several concrete actions (refactor UIStrings, improve localization comments, simplify wording, check sentence case), with only minor coverage gaps; not a comprehensive 5-level action list.

4 / 5

Completeness

Explicitly states both what it does ('Refactor user-facing UIStrings and localization comments...') and when to use it ('Use when simplifying wording, checking sentence case, or improving L10n comments...'), with concrete trigger phrases.

5 / 5

Trigger Term Quality

Includes natural trigger phrases users would say ('simplifying wording', 'checking sentence case', 'improving L10n comments in UIStrings') plus a folder/issue framing, though a few common synonyms are absent.

4 / 5

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

Occupies a clear niche (DevTools UIStrings refactoring under a specific tracking bug) and explicitly excludes general code changes and non-UIStrings files, minimizing conflict risk.
