77%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 well-structured skill with an exemplary workflow: sequenced steps, mandatory validation checkpoints, explicit error-recovery loops, and clean one-level-deep reference files that all exist. The main cost is token efficiency — the modify-over-create and run-tests mandates are each repeated verbatim across multiple sections, inflating the body without adding new guidance.
Suggestions
State the modify-existing-scenarios-over-creating-new-ones rule once (either as Principle 6 or in Step 5) and cross-reference it from the other location instead of restating the full rationale, example, and criteria in both places.
Consolidate the run-tests-and-check-for-undefined-steps mandate: keep the full requirement in Step 6 and shorten Principle 2 and Success Criteria to one-line pointers to it.
Add a short example .feature snippet showing the preferred """yml doc-string style (Principle 3), since the body currently prescribes the convention without demonstrating it.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body avoids explaining concepts Claude already knows and is operationally dense, but the modify-existing-scenarios guidance is restated in full three times (Principle 6, Step 1's classification, Step 5's "Prefer modifying existing scenarios" section plus its example), and the run-tests/zero-undefined-steps mandate is repeated in Principle 2, Step 4, Step 6, the post-implementation section, and Success Criteria — it could be tightened to one authoritative statement per mandate. | 3 / 5 |
Actionability | Concrete, executable guidance throughout — copy-paste commands ("grep -o 'tzatziki-[a-z-]*' pom.xml | sort -u", "./mvnw -pl <module> -Dtest=<RunnerClass> test"), exact error signatures to look for ("step(s) are undefined", "UndefinedStepException", "Tests run: 0"), and a wrong-vs-right traceId example. The one gap: Principle 3 prescribes """yml doc strings but no sample .feature snippet demonstrates the convention. | 4 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | A six-step workflow with explicit validation checkpoints (run an existing test before writing, mandatory plan approval, mandatory post-edit test run), exact error signatures, a defined edit→run→fix feedback loop applied to every modification, and a Success Criteria checklist — fully matching the top anchor. | 5 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | The body is an overview plus workflow; all 13 per-module step references and supporting files (bootstrap-templates.md, cli-execution.md) exist on disk, are listed with explicit when-to-read conditions, and are one level deep with no nested-reference chains. | 5 / 5 |
