82%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 strong, highly actionable investigation guide: concrete tool-call examples at every step, a clear stepwise workflow, and a defined output format. Its only real gaps are the absence of explicit validation/error-recovery checkpoints and minor token savings available in the redundant trigger section and generic best practices.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | Query blocks are compact and each step earns its tokens with no concept-explainer padding, but the "When to Use" section duplicates the frontmatter description and best practices like "Be specific" or "Show your work" could be trimmed, leaving minor instances of over-explanation. | 4 / 5 |
Actionability | Concrete get_cost_data/get_dimension_values/get_available_dimensions calls with real parameters (dimension names, filters, limits) appear throughout, including a fully dated worked example, and the set covers the common cases — provider, service, account, multi-dimensional, time-series, new-resource, and tag analysis. | 5 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | A clear 7-step sequence runs from spike-period definition through drill-down to a defined report format, with a conditional pivot ("Once you identify the primary dimension... drill deeper"); it lacks explicit validation checkpoints or error-recovery feedback loops, keeping it below the top anchor, though the read-only investigation means no destructive-operation cap applies. | 4 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | The body is a well-organized overview with a labeled "See Also" section of one-level-deep, purpose-annotated external references plus one inline pointer in Best Practices; references are mostly clear but not linked at each point of use, and the skill keeps investigation-specific detail (e.g., tool syntax) appropriately in referenced files. | 4 / 5 |
