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.
The body is an exemplary lean instruction skill: highly concrete project-specific rules with exact paths, signatures, and commands, and a well-organized one-level-deep reference structure. The only notable gap is the absence of an explicit step ordering and feedback loop in the validation workflow.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The ~46-line body is lean and assumes Claude's competence — it never explains what ddtrace, wrapt, or contrib are; every line carries project-specific rules such as "The package supports Python 3.9 (`pyproject.toml`)" and "do not introduce `T | None` into such modules merely for style". No padding or over-explanation found, matching the level-5 anchor. | 5 / 5 |
Actionability | Concrete, executable guidance throughout: exact paths (`ddtrace/contrib/internal/httpx/patch.py`), copy-paste signatures (`patch() -> None`, `wrapped: Callable[..., Any]`, `args: tuple[Any, ...]`), and a runnable command (`scripts/lint typing`). Falls just short of the level-5 anchor because no full worked wrapper example is shown and test execution is delegated to sibling skills rather than given as commands. | 4 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | An explicit first step ("Read the affected integration and its tests first"), named validation checkpoints ("Validate through the `lint` skill's typing check", "Use `run-tests`, `lint`, and `releasenote` for validation and PR preparation"), and error-recovery guidance for native build failures. Not 3 because validation is explicitly named rather than implicit; not 5 because the overall step ordering is implicit and there is no validate→fix→retry feedback loop. | 4 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | A lean overview with a "Task references" section that signals each of the four real bundle files with a one-line scope description (e.g. "Anti-patterns: patch, configuration, and deferred-event pitfalls"), all one level deep and all verified to exist. Content is appropriately split between the overview and references, matching the level-5 anchor. | 5 / 5 |
