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.
This is a strong, execution-ready skill: every step is backed by runnable commands, ground-truth determination is systematically addressed, and verification is built into multiple checkpoints including a repeat-loop for regressions. The main defects are cosmetic — duplicate "step 7" numbering — plus a description-level weakness (no 'when to use' clause) that the body cannot compensate for.
Suggestions
Fix the duplicate step numbering: there are two "### 7." sections ("Verify all fixes" and "Run bash comparison tests"); renumber to 7 and 8.
Consider merging the two trailing verification steps or adding a one-line final checklist (full suite passes + bash comparison tests pass) to consolidate the ending.
The security preamble could be tightened to 2–3 lines while keeping the untrusted-data rule intact.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is command-dense with almost no conceptual explanation (no "what a shell is", no library tutorials); each step states its intent in one line plus a runnable command. It is not level 5 because the six-line security blockquote and some parenthetical asides ("e.g. sandbox restrictions, blocked commands", "For quick checks on macOS/Linux") add tokens that could be tightened. It is well above level 3, where noticeable padding would appear. | 4 / 5 |
Actionability | Every step gives copy-paste-ready commands: "go test -race ./interp/... ./tests/... -run \"$ARGUMENTS\" -v 2>&1 | head -200", "docker run --rm debian:bookworm-slim bash -c '<the script from the failing test>'", and even the exact fuzz corpus file format with its destination path "interp/builtins/tests/<pkg>/testdata/fuzz/<FuzzFuncName>/<hash>". This matches the 'fully executable; copy-paste ready; covers the common cases' anchor; there are no gaps that would drop it to 4. | 5 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | The eight-step sequence is well ordered (reproduce → determine bash ground truth → classify → fix → verify) with per-fix verification in step 4, suite-wide verification in step 7, and an explicit feedback loop ("If new failures appear, repeat from step 1 for those failures") that would merit a 5. However, there are two sections numbered "### 7." ("Verify all fixes" and "Run bash comparison tests"), a genuine editorial defect that muddles the step sequence — a minor gap consistent with level 4 rather than the fully clean level 5. | 4 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | No bundle files exist (references/, scripts/, assets/ are absent), and none are needed: the content is a single linear workflow, not reference material that should be split out. Section headers (Workflow, numbered steps, classification table) make navigation easy, matching level 4's 'good structure; most content appropriately placed'. It does not reach level 5 because the under-50-lines simple-skill exception does not apply to this ~130-line body, and no navigational aids (TOC or overview of steps) are provided; it stays above level 3 because nothing that belongs in a separate file is inlined. | 4 / 5 |
